ENHANCEMENT: Link picker #356

Open humblehumanbeing opened 9 years ago

humblehumanbeing commented 9 years ago

While working with modules in G4 we were able to achieve hyperlinking by JCE. Currently we input the links in particles manually. Can we have an option to pick the article and Gantry do the rest if it won't add too much to G5's weight?

Do you mean having a link picker for each field that takes a link? If that's the case, yes we will definitely consider this. Not the highest priority right now though.

For example, We link iconmenu items to categories/articles. Therefore we will choose the category/article from a pop-up as we do for fonts etc and G5 will create Joomla links automatically. index.php?option=com_content&view=categories&id=1793&Itemid=375&lang=en

Thanks we will look into this, again this is not going to be our highest priority at the moment.

Is there an update on this? While working with Gantry 5 is a new modern setup, linking to articles in particles via manual input is very old fashioned and not reliable. Especially when after-changed links have to be adjusted manually in related particles. Creating a particle with article-picker would also be a -inbetween- solution for bypassing the multi column issue in 2nd level menu items, when users could add particles with links to articles.

This feature hasn't been targeted to the next version and unfortunately because of the amount of issues already targeted to it, it's unlikely that we will be able to get this feature implemented in near future.

On the other hand this could be a good exercise for someone else to do, but it requires some coding skills and a good knowledge on how Joomla APIs work.
