CMS Selflink

[iNSiPiD]

Hi guys,

What's the benefit of using the {cms_selflink} tag?

Will all instances of {cms_selflink page="foo"} be updated if I change the page's alias to bar?

[Ted]

Nope.

The only real advantage is that it takes of looking for assume_mod_rewrite, config paths, etc.

[iNSiPiD]

Could we add a another real advantage?

How hard would it be to either automatically apply a class to the tag, or add a class paramter so that internal links can be styled differently?

[Ted]

Very easily.  Can you submit a feature request so I don't forget?

[iNSiPiD]

Yes. And don't get upset now but...where, exactly, would I go to do this?

I'd always assumed there was an appropriate place for this sort of thing.

Same place that you would post bugs.  One of the priorities is Feature Request.

Thanks!

what I did was add another option hrefonly to the tag... then after line 55, when the url has been found you can do:

Code: Select all

	if ($url != "") {
		if (isset($params['hrefonly']))
			return $url;

so it returns a raw href for you; from here u can do anything you want with it
