Help - Cant find the "Link List" in TinyMCE (revolution).

hey Modx’s,
Have been using evolution for a couple of years, and have now been experimenting with Revolution.
I have one problem so far - using the link icon in TinyMCE does not generate the "Link List" like in evolution. Am i missing something?

Feel stupid for not knowing..

You are supposed to use the search field.
Type in the name of the page and wait for the tool to search the page. A list of pages will appear

Thank You.

I feel really stupid now!

is this in the documentation? have book marked but couldn’t find info on this.

I don’t think it is. This might be in the TinyMCE documentation. Look up their documentation and post back
Thanks

too bad there isn’t an option to have the link list...

I find myself typing in the search field with no results because I can’t remember the name of the document or for some reason the search doesn’t find anything even though I know what I’m searching for exists. Why replace link list with search??? Why not add search as extra option and have both???

I agree. I've just spent a load of time searching the forums, trying to find out what was wrong.

I had already found the search option (which is nice) but I'd like to have the "link list" as well.

One reason for this is that I like to have the resources tree list the menu title by default, and this obviously makes it more difficult to see what you should search for (TinyMCE allows searching by Pagetitle or Alias).

If I can figure out how to add another radio option to TinyMCE's link search - for menu title - it will be ok.

I've found out how to add the menu title to the list of search options. This is better than page title (IMHO) because it tends to contain shorter strings, and is perfect for my setup.

I have set menutitle as the default search option, and the return value for the search results field. Having 3 values in the radio options tends to mess up the layout of the dialogue box so I have tweaked the css to sort this.

In case this is useful to anyone else, the files I edited were:

assets\components\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins\modxlink
• link.htm
• search.php
• js/modxlink.js
• css/modxlink.css

Hint: search for pagetitle in the first 3 files listed above and you should be able to figure it out.

(I tried to attach examples but they didn't work)

dam-ned, i want the list not the search.. just like everyone else probably.. grr @ tinymce

could a solution be to uninstall the package and install an older version?

The problem with the list is that it can be a problem if you have thousands of resources to list. The search probably is a more reasonable solution.

both will be nice

when i check on the tinymce website is see this in the source:

external_link_list_url : "js/link_list.js"

im looking for a way to add it somehow in link.php or other file but it's to hard to do for me if it even is possible

Hope in future you can choose is you want a list or search or both.
