Hello !!

I wrote this plugin to integrate in document and manage easily links towards websites to which I often refers.

Great plugin Guillaume! Thanks for sharing   

One of those additions that I know will be a timesaver to a lot of people.

Cheers, Garry

[davidm]

It sure will be a time saver !

Just one thing of no importance, in the example : it's modxcms.com not modx.com

It will sure be nice to have this, along with an autolink feature and the phpGiggle thing that's in the hopper

I don't suppose this has any features to create a link with a _blank target location ?

[Guillaume]

Hi bugsmi0

*      All link attributes can be used to create the link and its context.

You can create a link with all attributes

An example for your case ; in the code of the snippet plugin you need to add sommething like this :

Code:

$alr_links['grunzig']['text'] = 'grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['title'] = 'Website of Grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['href'] = 'www.grunzig.net';
$alr_links['grunzig']['hreflang'] = 'fr';
$alr_links['grunzig']['target'] = '_blank';

This code will generate this link :

Code:

<a lang="fr" hreflang="fr" title="Website of Grunzig" href="http://www.grunzig.net" target="_blank">grunzig</a>

[bugsmi0]

Code:

$alr_links['grunzig']['text'] = 'grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['title'] = 'Website of Grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['href'] = 'www.grunzig.net';
$alr_links['grunzig']['hreflang'] = 'fr';
$alr_links['grunzig']['target'] = '_blank';

what snippet should we put this code in the dropmenu ? does it matter where in the snippet the code goes ?

[Guillaume]

Sorry bugsmi0 but I don't understant your questions. My english is so bad... 
Could you explain what do you want to mean ?

Thanks

[bugsmi0]

the code above you said to put it inside the snippet, did you mean the dropmenu snippet ? if so where in the dropmenu would this code go

[Guillaume]

Sorry ! I commit an error. You need to put it inside the plugin and not the snippet.

For example, if you put this inside the plugin AutoLinkRef :

Code:

$alr_links['grunzig']['text'] = 'grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['title'] = 'Website of Grunzig';
$alr_links['grunzig']['href'] = 'www.grunzig.net';
$alr_links['grunzig']['hreflang'] = 'fr';
$alr_links['grunzig']['target'] = '_blank';

In a document, this plugin will replace

[-grunzig-]

by

<a lang="fr" hreflang="fr" title="Website of Grunzig" href="http://www.grunzig.net" target="_blank">grunzig</a>
