CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I installed this add on and it's working fine. In the settings you can turn on the WYSIWYG, so i did that and then entered a quote with an internal link in the quote :

Do your tax returns early ! {cms_selflink page="taxation" text="Read More"}

The cms_selflink isnt getting parsed as a link, is there any way to do this ? I know i could make a simple href but it's not that easy for the client i am making it for.

Thanks for any info.

You probably do not have the page "taxation" yet. First create the page with the title and menu text that you want, then note down how CMSMS has named it, and THEN create an internal link by selecting from the drop down list in the button "Insert link to cmsms-page"

The taxation page exists with the Title : Taxation and the Menu Text : Taxation but it's still not parsing the {cms_selflink} as an

I am just going to create a normal link and paste in the url for the moment.

Thanks

what's the alias of the taxation page?

I think I ran into this a while ago, and the final resolution was that QMS doesn't parse the Smarty tag.  Not 100% sure.  I'll see if I can find my post.

If the Smarty tag is the issue, try changing your preferences on TinyMCE:

Extension > TinyMCE > Advanced > CMS-linker link-style: and pick -style

All links generated with the WYSIWYG editor will be style, rather than {cms_selflink}. You may have to log in as the end user and change the prefs for them as well, but this will allow them to add links on their own, without needing to dive into the code.

Have you tried highlighting the text you want to use and using the internal link button?...
