I'm trying to make a simple button that links to a page that is my checkout page.  I'm really struggling to find stuff in the help section that is relevant to my issues.  I know that cms_selflink is not the answer as that will actually make a link.  I've tried all sorted of smarty things like {pagealias='checkout'} etc etc.

This works so I am happy, but I am just trying to learn how to reference other pages within CMSMS when you cannot use the selflink or anchor smarty tags.

The simplest way is to take the image in your page, then select the image, and press the internallink-icon in TinyMCE, then you can put a link to a page in.

There are no images in this issue.    There are only buttons, I just thought that there must be a better way of doing what I managed to make.  The site will be up next week so I will post a link to it so that you can see what I mean :)

Thanks for offering your help, but unless I have my wires crossed I don't think your suggestion can help :(  I'm away for a few days now, been called away, will get back to people next week if there are more posts.

I cannot wait for the site to be live, its my first site so I cannot wait for some feedback!

Actually {cms_self_link} has parameter href -  the one you need.
