Links referring to anchors on the same page - How to?

Does anybody know how to make links in Revo work referring to anchors on the same page like this <a href="#anchor">Anchor</a>?

In our MODx-Revolution it works only by adding <a href="[[~page-id]]]#anchor">Anchor</a>

Our goal is to import a webpage including about 1.000 anchors with the syntax <a href="#anchor">. Because of this it would be great if we could keep this syntax.

Does anybody know how to make this work?

<a href="[[~[[*id]]]]#anchor">anchor</a>

oops sorry should have read your question better.

So you would like a plugin that converts "#anchor" to the proper url? - sorry I’m unaware of one for revo yet.

Wouldn’t a quick search and replace be sufficient for an import?

Thanks for your answer. But I think this wouldn´t be our preferred solution. We would like to avoid to change every link on this new webpage.

In Evo there is a package to solve this problem I have seen here: http://modxcms.com/extras/package/41

Is there a similar solution for Revo, too?

We also have this problem. To be honest, I don’t know why a package is necessary for this. Why does MODX work this way? If I insert an anchor on a page, I would expect that anchor to not be attached by default to the home page. This is annoying and should be a bug fix, not new functionality or a package.

I got it to work by using the code of plugin Base URL Same-Page-Link Fix. I followed installation instructions of this plugin and only thing what I changed was replacing this line

$source = &$modx->documentOutput;

with this

$source = &$modx->resource->_output;

I could ~~not~~ manage to get this work.

My code is:

if($modx->resource->get('id') !=$modx->config['site_start']) //not on Startpage
{
   $newOutput=str_replace('href="#', 'href="' .$modx->makeUrl($modx->resource->get('id')) .'#', $modx->resource->_output);
   $newOutput=str_replace('/#', '#', $newOutput); //if the page is a folder!!!
   $modx->resource->_output = $newOutput;
}

See if this makes a difference:

$modx->makeUrl($modx->resource->get('id'), "", "", "full");

Is your plugin attached to OnWebPagePrerender?

If that doesn't work, you can always put this at the top of the page in your template:

<a name="top"></a>

Then do this in your plugin:

if($modx->resource->get('id') !=$modx->config['site_start']) //not on Startpage
{
   $newOutput=str_replace('href="#', 'href="' .$modx->makeUrl($modx->resource->get('id'), "", "", "full") .'#top', $modx->resource->_output);
   $newOutput=str_replace('/#', '#top', $newOutput); //if the page is a folder!!!
   $modx->resource->_output = $newOutput;
}

Thanks BobRay for your quick reply.

Sorry,
there was 1 word to much in my posting above. Now I emended it to "I could manage to get this work."
So I hope your code and my code can help others.

The important thing was to make it work for folders also:

$newOutput=str_replace('/#', '#', $newOutput); //if the page is a folder!!!

Seems to be OK:

$modx->makeUrl($modx->resource->get('id'))
