You'll always find the current documentation at http://www.gesellix.de/index.php/joomla/46.html

In contrast to other extensions TitleLink doesn't need the article ids to find your article - so you always get exactly the right links.

2007-11-05: TitleLink with JoomFish:

If you have problems using TitleLink together with JoomFish please try the current JoomFish release 1.8 (http://www.joomfish.net/ ). It seems like it fixes problems with enabled caching. Also see http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,116130.0.html .

2007-10-19: TitleLink 3.0 rc1 for Joomla! 1.5 released!

TitleLink works now as native Joomla! 1.5 content plugin! This means you don't have to enable the System-Legacy plugin to let TitleLink work.

New settings let you decide which TitleLink plugins (content, menuitem, virtuemart, shortlink) are being used. By disabling plugins performance can be improved, depending on other installed components (like com_virtuemart).

This release candidate has been tested under Joomla! 1.5 RC3, nightly built 2007-10-18. Please note me if you get errors or if you have some improvements!

General project description:

TitleLink is a plugin to easily create links in Joomla content to other Joomla content by Title or Alias. By inserting text into your content like {ln:Content Managment} you link directly to your content with that title. The purpose of this program is to help create easy ways to drop links to content within the material that you are writing.

Through the easy syntax you are able to set a css-class or define whether the link should be opened in a new window. You may create links to external sites as well. Clickable images may be created easily as well (was broken in release 2.9, now functional again with release 3.0 rc1!).

TitleLink is extendible through plugins, currently it works together with Joomla content, Joomla menuitems, Remository, Shortlink and VirtueMart. Just have a little look in the documentation under http://www.gesellix.de/mambots/content/titlelink.txt for all the other nifty possibilities.

You may configure the plugin to change the default pattern from "{ln:...}" to a more wiki like "[...]". TitleLinks in existing content may be easily changed through the according component. In a similar wiki-style TitleLink enables you to create missing articles if no link to a phrase could be created: you may click on your desired phrase to go directly to the article edit/creation page.

TitleLink also works together with Joomla!Fish now. If you encounter any problems feel free to note me through the plugin site or my private homepage! It only seems like an active cache (see the global settings in the Joomla backend) hinders Joomla/TitleLink from updating links.

You will find current beta releases at JoomlaCode and http://www.gesellix.de/goto.php?link=titlelink :)

It generates many duplicated ids. Not fully SEF by rufuz, January 13, 2008

1 of 2 people find this review helpful:

it generates as many duplicate ids as many links you put in different articles, (tested in j!1.5, SEO on) as it is not capable to link to the page where article is already and uniquely published.

It generates a page under the same page where you put it and your url will have id# instead of title of article. So it is not fully sef.

if you really want parametrized links to articles (not a good pratice as your pages don't have be dynamic or internet would be a land of 404) you can use :

article

even it is a bad way for the id# and duplicate, you can still decide where to put it and don't need to install nothing, and they are not much more characters to digit.

Anyway wiki and other features worths the install.

bye

Owner's reply:
Can you please explain your comments a bit? Where does TitleLink create IDs? Which IDs? Did you use the Joomla 1.5 SEO extension or an additional one? And I don't understand your comment "even it is a bad way for the id# and duplicate, you can still decide where to put it and don't need to install nothing, and they are not much more characters to digit.".

Please give me a chance to clearify this. The best would be to create a tracker item at Joomlacode or you can contact me by mail.

Using features like parameterized links to pages is optional. If someone uses it he has to know what to expect...

Anyway thanks for commenting.

TitleLink for Joomla! 1.5 is great by gbrackett, October 19, 2007

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

I've just installed the plugin in 1.5 RC3 and so far it works beautifully. I have tried both links to internal articles by title and to Wikipedia by phrase -- no problem. It's great that the plugin allows changing the separator, since several of my titles contain colons (:). I'm impressed by the number of ways the plugin link can be specified, including opening new windows, defining the class of the link, searching any one of a long provided list of sites, even appending an anchor reference. The developers have clearly used the plugin themselves extensively, and have made it very versatile. Highly recommended!

Really nice plugin by RBJ, September 18, 2007

This is really a nice plugin. I had trouble creating external links to my content. This one helped me and works like a charm.

Keep up the good work guys!!

Brilliant Plugin by egosystems, August 29, 2007

This is such a time saver. You can easily create links in your content to other items and web sites.

Fantastic! by perandre, March 13, 2007

Exactly what I needed for userfriendly linking, and it works great! I simply use the syntax (link:Welcome to Joomla!).

There's even a component that converts your syntax if changed.

Thank u so much!

Very needed little nice tool by Xena, January 30, 2007

Works great and is so easy to use!

good easy to use component by grouchal, January 26, 2007

Liked it - easy install and use - made linking so much easier!

Lovely, very usable by mrs.marijke, January 23, 2007

Yes, I do think this is a lovely plugin. I have only just installed it and worked through info to see how it works, but allready this seems like a sensible tool!

Easy to use. by skiman, August 5, 2006

0 of 1 people find this review helpful:

This is really a must have. If you ever want to link to another content item in an easy way, you have to try this.

If it could be upgraded to work in combination with Joomfish, it would be wonderfull. At this stage it can't be used on a multi-lingual site.

Owner's reply:
It can be used on multilingual sites, when caching is disabled.

Updated - More like a Wiki now by emagin, July 26, 2006

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

With the new update, you can now use simple brackets [ and ] to contain a reference to another page [Joomla Extensions] or to a Shortlink [Google News]
It's so simple it's turning my sites into pseudo wikis without the hassle of another component or bridge.

Indispensable by emagin, April 19, 2006

I love this extension, it's truly indispensable.
As your site grows in content, how can you manage all those internal references to existing pages!!?
{ln:calendar} {ln:register} etc. are so easy to use, it's almost like having wiki power in your site.

Of course if you have a lot of references to Wikipedia and many other external DBs like dictionaries, google etc., you can do all that here in a snap. Truly amazing
