Link in a form (in frontend)

Hi,

I would like to give users a way, by default to have in the form (among others) html tags for link.
(In Site->configuration must be set "no editor" :-(( ).

So, the form in frontend must contain something like:

<a href = " 

replace this! ->> 
LINK HERE (such as: http://www.lifeline.de) 

"target =" _blank ">More in the Source</a> 

In "submitcontent" in the field "HTML form:" I have:

<div class="form_item"> <div class="form_element cf_textarea" style="width:600px;"> <label class="cf_label"> text: </ label> 
<? php 
$editor =& JFactory::getEditor(); 
echo $editor->display ( 'full text', 
  '
... 
<a href = " 

replace this! ->> 
LINK HERE (such as: http://www.lifeline.de) 

"target =" _blank ">More in the Source</a> 
' , '80%' ,' 350 ' , '55' , '20 ' , False); 
?> 

But in frontend in form I get:

<a href = "/directory/ 

replace this! ->> 
LINK HERE (such as: http://www.lifeline.de) 

"target ="_blank ">More in the Source</a> 

where "directory" in "<a href ="/directory/" is the name of the joomla's directory.

What is wrong by me, pls.

Thanks.

Hi Lemur,

I don't understand what you are trying to do here - but I do see that there are extra spaces in your code again <?php & $editor = & JFactory::getEditor(); . . .

I don't understand what you are trying to do here - but I do see that there are extra spaces in your code again <?php & $editor = & JFactory::getEditor(); . . .

OK, the spaces came by copying :-((.

-------
my users must enter a link in the article.

in WYSIWYG - Editors there is a command like "Insert / Edit link".

In "submitcontent" form I need to use an "a href"-tag.

I want give to the user in the FRONTEND form, so to speak, a kind of "frame", where he could add a real link.

So, the beginning of the tag:

<a href = "

, further an empty space where user enters link

, then the end of the tag:

  "target ="_blank ">More...</a>

This link must appear later in the article, as always, as the link "More..."

But instead of

<a href="

by the execution of

<?php
$editor		=& JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display( 'fulltext',
 '
<a href="

HERE LINK 

" target="_blank">More...</a> 
' , '80%', '350', '55', '20', false ) ;
?>

I get

<a href = "/directory/ 

and the link, of course, doesn't work.

I can attach the revised form :-)).

Thanks.

Hi lemur,

This is very complicated - I think that there are too many factors that are trying to modify the code :-(

Could you use a place holder like {##LINK##}Please add your link here{##END_LINK##} and then use a string replace in the OnSubmit box to change this into an html link??

Bob

Hi, Bob.

Firstly, I would say, that we have paid for the License for your excellent extension (and support!).

According to your council I have browsed the forum and found something about "place holder".
(For example, hear).

But not something exactly suitable :-(. ("This is very complicated .." -(C))

I would be very grateful if you could write to me in detail what code and where I need to enter to make a link "wildcard" in a form.
If this desire is to cocky, can you tell me, please, where i can read about it. :-(

Thanks,

Leon.

Hi,

I can't understand whats needed here exactly, you need to load the editor with some content ? you need to let the user insert a link ? they can already do this with the insert link button as you said!

give me more info please

Hi Max,

As I understand it, lemur wants to pre-load the editor with a template including space for a 'more' link - presumably to an external web-site.

You are righte.

I have progressed with a placeholder, not to the end yet.

At all events, thanks to all and: the beautiful Christmas! 😀 😀

Leon

Hi, I got it now, you can do it the way you do or just tell the users to write some text for the link and replace it onsubmit with PHP, not sure about the best for your case!

Max

Thanks,

but I still have the problem.

I use in FormHTML:

- URL field

<div  class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_textbox"><label class="cf_label">URL:</label><input class="cf_inputbox required" maxlength="150" size="30" id="url_0" name="url_0" type="text"></div><div class="clear"> </div></div>

- Placeholder {url1} in Editor call

<?php
$editor      =& JFactory::getEditor();
echo $editor->display( 'fulltext',  '
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br /><br /><div style="display:none;">{url1}</div>' , '80%', '350', '55', '20', false  ) ;
?>

I have in OnSubmit

<?php
    JRequest::setVar('fulltext' , str_replace('{url1}', '<a class="readon" href="'.JRequest::getVar('url_0').'" target="_blank" >Mehr in der Quelle: </a>', JRequest::getVar('fulltext')));   ?>

But once I enter the article, I have in it no link as "my-link", that I've entered in URL field, but as "http://my-domaine/my-link"

How can I change this?

Happy New Year!

Leon

Hi Leon,

sorry, but why do you place this code :

    <?php
    $editor      =& JFactory::getEditor();
    echo $editor->display( 'fulltext',  '
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <br /><br /><div style="display:none;">{url1}</div>' , '80%', '350', '55', '20', false  ) ;
    ?>

???

why do you place this code :

    <?php
    $editor      =& JFactory::getEditor();
    echo $editor->display( 'fulltext',  '
    <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
    <br /><br /><div style="display:none;">{url1}</div>' , '80%', '350', '55', '20', false  ) ;
    ?>

I have added in your "submitcontent" form only

'    <br />...<br /><div style="display:none;">{url1}</div>'

, becouse of i don't now :-( an another way to place a placeholder in editor field.

---------

So, else more what i need:
to give a user a possibility to inpute in a certain field of the form an URL, that will be transform in the link in an article.

As i described in my first post and in the last post, i get in the article
(regardless of whether I use in the form

<a href = "my-link" target =" _blank ">More in the Source</a>

or a placeholder

{url1}

)
a link like

http://my-domaine.net/my-link

instead of

http://my-link

.

From where comes "my-domaine.net/", please?
Or better 🙂, what code must I use?

I need the solution urgent.

Thank you,
Leon.

Hi,

I must excuse me, because of my problem is not connected with CronoForm probably.
(I have not noticed it timely ! 😟 )

I can not insert such a link in any editor, do not know why.

when a link is inserted in an article,
NOT with the link button of the editor, but with HTML

<a href="url.de">LINK</a>

I get rather than LINK

url.de 

http://my-domain/url.de

I don't now, how can this my-domain be removed.

Excuse once more,

Leon

Hi Leon, you need to put http:// in the front of the link or it will use your path, I think there is an option in the editor plugin parameters to disable adding the path, check it!

Max

Thank you very much.
This is not a definitive solution, but at least works. 🙂
