Syntax for links within the page in Modx Revolution

How do you do links within the page in Modx Revolution?

Have look for an answer on the forum for this problem but can find nothing. A simple problem (perhaps bordering on the dumb), but I can’t work out the solution.

This is what I am trying to translate into Modx Revolution syntax:



The following does not work:



The output to the browser is simply:



And the result of clicking the link is that the site flips back to the home page (friendly URLs are operative in this instance, if that makes any difference).

So what is the proper Modx Revolution syntax for this kind of intra-page link?

Hi,
The simple answer is "anchor". I am pleased to find that this is something that Revo seems to do better than Evo. I just worked it out, and you can try it. My method is using the popular Tiny editor that is nearly standard equipment in MODx.

Fill your page with text.
Then highlight a word or phrase in the text.
Then look at the editor toolbar, and click the thing that looks like an anchor (it’s next to the "Link" and "Unlink" items), enter a name for it, and click Insert.
Then find (or write) the word (or phrase) on your page that you want to link to the anchor, and highlight it.
Click the "Insert/Edit Link" thing on the toolbar. Under "anchors" you should see your brand new anchor listed. Click that. Save, and it should work.

I am very pleased to see that this worked even when using BASE HREF in the template, which was quite problematic in Evo.

PS: I played with trying to get this to work using tag variables, and I didn’t get that to work.

In the docs: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Named+Anchor.

On a similar note, does any know if there is an option to use the full URL instead of page name so I don’t have to use the <base> element with the friendly URLs?

Try this:

All right, Bob!
You know what, in MODx 3, there will be 32 brackets and 7 tildes around every command, you’ll see!

Cheers, Dave

Honest, it looks normal once you get used to it. The Evo tags look funny to me now.

Sorry for taking nearly 8 months to say a big "Thank you" to Bob and Samba. Yes, those solutions worked.

As in philosophy, the trick is not so much to know the answers as to know what the right question to ask is. Now I realise the issue here is Named Anchors, and knowing that it ain’t hard to find the relevant page in the documentation, which does explain the issue very clearly:
