Since it does not work with Joomla 1.5.12 and the developer is aware of it, this info should be stated here that the article link is Joomla 1.5 native up until 1.5.9, so that people like me would not waste few hours trying to figure out what is wrong. Thanks for the effort though, since the article link does work very well with 1.5.9 Joomla. Unfortunately, most essential components do require Joomla 1.5.12, so we have no choice sometimes....

Thank you for bringing this on to the surface!
This is definitely the most missing feature in the CORE! Besides the usual big suspects ;-) This is what i am searching for since my early mambo-days.
Indispensable feature IMHO.
Hey Joomla Devs: There is the select Article feature in the menu manager! It should be a piece of cake for you to implement the same code and technique for internal linking (even with the current ACL setup) Is it on their ToDo list???
PLEASE!!!
I had problems with JCE, so i can´t rate this 5 Stars.

Hey there,
Great work on the plug-in. I installed it, activated it, went to an article...wrote some text, selected the text and pushed the button "Link Article" at the bottom of the page. A window appears were i can select any article i want.
This is were the problem comes in. I click the article, nothing happens...2xclick, just selects the article name. I try to trick it with search, same thing, nothing. It's like the article is not click-able at all.
So everything works great until i want to actually select the article i want. Any ideas?

I'm in the process of manually moving my site from Joomla 1.0 to 1.5 - missed the 1.0 ability to link articles in the new version.
Article Link did the trick and I'm very happy. Would recommend this to anyone.

Exactly what I needed, did what it was supposed to do as soon as the plugin is enabled

I'm kind of new to Joomla, and this is the first extension I installed and really like it. Took a minute to locate the bottom of the page, but once I did, it does exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the straight forward add-on.

Sorry for the harsh review, but products with no documentation, no indication of if it is installed correctly, no obvious/intuitive interface, and limited support don't rate highly in my book.
byguiboni on February 19, 2009
This is so simple. This is a good job really. I think it sould come on core. Thanks a lot.

It is firstly choice plugin for my sites. This is a good job really.

Fine tool, and yes it looks like but aint the same as Linkr.
I couldnt get it work for the JCE1.5.1 editor though, but did for tinyMCE. Is there a lil bug in play?

thanks for this alaattin - it does exactly what it says on the tin and should really come as default with joomla, it's such an essential thing; installs like a breeze and will save me hours of faffing about.

So easy to install and use. This should be in the core Joomla. The only thing I'd suggest is a half page piece of documentation for newbies. Cheers!
byaudabee on November 27, 2008
This plugin should definitely be part of the standard install of Joomla. Such an "simple" thing but what a boon to productivity. Thank you so very much! Brilliant.

Hey - thanks for this. I've had to do all kinds of gymnastics to get simple links inserted into articles. This makes it SOOOO easy.

Thanks for your review lane, I really understand you in terms of gymnastics :) Regards

This is the one I have wanted for long time!
Installed and enabled the plugin, that's it. It works fine.
It's one of the best plugins, but one thing I am anxious is the url it generates.
url:
http://www.yourdomain.com/component/content/article/33.html
where 33 means the article number.
Does this mean duplicated url?
Anyway, it's a great extension!

Joomlaeasy, thanks for your kind review. We may discuss this issue on the project forum if you like, here it'll create a mess I think. Regards

Isn't this what the Linker (linkr?) extension already does? I'm not saying that we shouldn't have more than one (choice is good and yours might be better). Does yours have advantages over Linker?
Owner's reply
Yes sure.
First of all, Linkr is a component and plugin combination solution; however Article Link is just a plugin and so light weight. Linkr has its own interfaces designed, however Article Link uses native Joomla interface (the one you see on Article selection in article layout menu option). This really makes sense, since users get accustomed to something and this plugin doesn't introduce a new ergonomy. Therefore, this plugin is just designed to create article links within article with basic css classing, no more no less; if you need something different you may look for another extension. As a last word, Article Link is a simple, straight forward and ergonomic solution to article linking with lightweight infrastructure.
