Weblink + friendly URLs ?

Hello,
I bet this is a silly question...

I'm using weblink resources to link to external pages; but they keep bouncing me to my homepage (which is my 404 during development)

I'm using getResources, and have the following in my tpl's as a fix, but I'd love to know how to get the behaviour I remember from Evo back (any visit to a weblink resource would go to the destination):



... it doesn't seem like that should be necessary...

Surely



Would suffice, thats how i usually have mine set up, as it checks the the id, then if its a weblink it already knows to look at the content URL. the only change i'd add is to add target="_blank" but thats just me

Hi
thnx, I do appreciate the reply.
The issue I'm having is that simply going to the id of the weblink is not taking me to the weblink destination, but rather to http://mydomain.com/weblink.html (where mydomain is the domain of my site, and weblink is the name of the weblink resource.)
The only way I'm able to get the behaviour I was expecting was to do this silly filter on the class key...

But as I said, I do appreciate it; what you have done is confirmed for me that I have a configuration error or something, and that I'm not getting the default weblink behaviour.

Anyone got any hints? run into this before?

PS: I apologize for forgetting to give my specs:
Revo 2.2.0
Apache server on Linux system, PHP 5.3, etc. [ed. note: unsub777 last edited this post 14 years, 6 months ago.]

Do you have the full URL (e.g., http://somesite.com/page.html) in the content field of the weblinks?

PLEASE, PLEASE specify the version of MODX you are using.
MODX info for everyone: http://bobsguides.com/modx.html

The other thing to notice, is that when you ahve a weblink it will show the URL of the weblink - not the actual weblink itself.

i.e www.myurl.com/weblink bu your actual weblink might be www.abcdef.com (in which case the weblink wont work as i i believe it needs the http:// to be http://www.abcdef.com

edit: doh, just seen Bob's reply.

Hi
sorry for delay,

@Bob: yes, I have the full url in there.
