Happy New Year all,

Wonder if anyone can advise what I am doing wrong. My site provides info on buildings in my city. Within the info description pages for each building there are architectural terms. When I had my site hosted on MODX cloud I was able to make these terms hyperlinks which went directly to the term on the architectural glossary page. I cant get it to work now hosted elsewhere.

The code within the building page is this:

all that now remains of the first Franciscan <a href="[[~7]]"#friary>friary</a> in England

This gets the user to page 7 but not not the anchor - just the top of the page.

The glossary itself is created using MIGX. The code for the TPL chunk is:

<div class="glossary-entry-word">
				
	<h4 id=[[+anchor]]>[[+title]]</h4>
						
		<p class="glossary-entry-defintion">[[+text]]</p>
					
</div>
				
<div class="thumbnail-container">
						
  <img class="thumbnail" src="[[+image]]" alt="[[+alt-text]]" />
				
</div><!--thumbnail container ends-->

When I inspect source the anchor id is missing.

Any ideas much appreciated!

Su

Should it not be the following as your #friday is outside of the ahref

all that now remains of the first Franciscan <a href="[[~7]]#friary">friary</a> in England

Doh - worked it out, had a dyslexic moment (literally) and spelt the anchor incorrectly in MIGX!!!! Thanks for your efforts Paul!
