[Plugin] AnchorsAway

A common problem when developing content in MODx is with anchor tags not working for the current page, due to the base tag required to properly maintain relative paths. To solve this, you can use the following very simple plugin (check the OnWebPagePrerender event):

<?php
$e= & $modx->Event;
switch ($e->name) {
    case "OnWebPagePrerender" :
        $modx->documentOutput= str_replace('href="#', 'href="' . $modx->makeUrl($modx->documentIdentifier) . '#', $modx->documentOutput);
        break;
}
?>

NOTE: Be sure not to include the <?php ?> tags in the plugin editor...

This should work in most situations, but let me know what you think or if you encounter any problems with it. I’ll add it to the repository soon.

Hi,

This one will work without changing the start id page in the plugin code

<?php
$e= & $modx->Event;
switch ($e->name) {
    case "OnWebPagePrerender" :
        if($modx->documentIdentifier != $modx->config['site_start']) {
            $modx->documentOutput= str_replace('href="#', 'href="' . $modx->makeUrl($modx->documentIdentifier) . '#', $modx->documentOutput);
        }
        break;
}
?>

:-)

Is this plugin still working? I was noticing the anchor issue and found this thread.

I created a plugin based on : Quote from: heliotrope at Jul 19, 2007, 01:00 PM

and also made sure that OnWebPagePrerender was checked off on System events. All my anchors are currently sending me to the homepage.

I used this plugin on my last project on 0.9.6.1 and it worked fine. I think I used the original release from the repository, I recommend using that one.
