Support/Comments for Context Links *Updated to 1.1*

Cool

Thanks for the update

It has been updated. Strongly recommend this update as it is more customizable. When I have more time I will add in the ability to narrow the scope post parsing. Features, suggestions, or coding additions still welcome.

I’m probably being dense or something, but can anyone shed some light on what this looks like in practice?

My understanding is that with this plugin I can simply type in a name that is the same as the pagetitle in the content of a child document and then it will automatically create a link for it. Is that right?

I have a document structure as follows (document IDs in parenthesis):

Welcome blog(60)
-Blog1(61)
-Blog2 (62)
-Blog3 (63)

The pagetitle for each of these is the same as the menu title.

So in the configuration for the plugin I put:

Parents = 60
Match Source = pagetitle
Document Objects = pagetitle
Search Type = 0

I also checked the system event for "onLoadWebDocument"

I expected that if I then put "Blog1" or "Blog2" or "Blog3" anywhere in the content for "Welcome Blog (60)" then it should automatically create a link to that child document. ie: Blog1 -> 61, Blog2 -> 62, Blog3 -> 63.

Am I way off here as to what this thing does? If not, what am I missing? The links aren’t working as I would expect.

Thanks!!

You are exactly right on your understanding of this snippet. Your configuration is likely a little off. You have this:



You have Document Objects set to ’pagetitle.’ Essentially, you are telling this plugin to only search the pagetitle for those keywords and to not look into any other area of the document (i.e., the content field). Simply change your configuration to the following, and you will likely get what you were looking for:

This snippet is cool, I wonder how I missed it earlier.

I don’t think you missed it entirely, you just didn’t manage to move from the development thread to the repository thread

Regardless, I am glad some people have found this useful and welcome any code additions or other feature suggestions. I hope to continue to polish this.

LOL I though it sounded like a good idea.

Very nice.

I did notice that it inserted a link within a link, so that might be something to watch out for. I already had a phrase linked:



and it did this



I don’t think nested links validate, do they?

Did you try any of the search methods? I bet you are using the "aggressive" one :p But this is something that is known and I doubt it is possible I will code the logic to account for all the possible permutations.

You are right, of course.

I changed the search type to 1 and that fixed the problem.

Thanks
