Hi Typolink/TS experts!

On my site, I have a list of pages, one of which is of type "Link to an
external URL", which points to a subdomain of my site.

The typoscript that creates the menu looks like this:

lib.menu_main = COA
lib.menu_main = HMENU
lib.menu_main.entryLevel = 0
lib.menu_main.1 = TMENU
lib.menu_main.1 {

noBlur=1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>

NO = 1
NO {

allWrap = <li>|</li>
stdWrap.case = lower
stdWrap.cObject = CASE
stdWrap.cObject {
key.field = doktype
default = TEXT
default.field = title
default.typolink.ATagBeforeWrap=1
default.typolink.wrap=|
3 < .default
3.typolink.ATagBeforeWrap=1
3.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = http://{field:url}
}

ACT = 1
ACT.allWrap = <li class="main_selected">|</li>
ACT.stdWrap.case = lower
ACT.doNotLinkIt = 1

}

Which almost works... In the output, the link that points to the
subdomain is correct, however, this link is wrapped in another link, so
I end up with this:

<a href="subdomain/"><a href="http://subdomain.example.com"
target="_top">subdomain</a></a>

Which is obviously not valid HTML. How can I modify the above TS so that
the correct link isn't wrapped like that? Also, is it possible to
configure it so that target="_top" is removed?

Here's hoping!

3.typolink.returnLast = url

TSRef is your friend

Hi Dmitry,

Thanks for your fast reply! I tried your suggestion, but this was the
result:

<li><a href="subdomain/">http://subdomain.example.com</a></li>

Which is the wrong way around... How can I make it look like this:

<li><a href="http://subdomain.example.com/">subdomain</a></li>

Or is that even possible?

I just studied TSRef and I have a much better idea of what's going on,
and I've used about an hour trying all sorts of optimistic typolink
statements, none of which give the desired result.

Any ideas or pointers?

Well, just for the purpose of eliminating the simple errors, is your
actual code missing a closing brace after the line "
3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = http://{field:url}" like the code in
your first message?

Hi Christopher,

When I was studying the TSref I modified it from the original posting,
and what follows is a direct copy paste:

lib.menu_main = HMENU
lib.menu_main.entryLevel = 0
lib.menu_main.1 = TMENU
lib.menu_main.1 {

noBlur=1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>

NO = 1
NO {

allWrap = <li>|</li>
stdWrap.case = lower
stdWrap.cObject = CASE
stdWrap.cObject {
key.field = doktype
default = TEXT
default.field = title

3 < .default
3.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap= http://{field:url}
}
}

ACT = 1
ACT.allWrap = <li class="main_selected">|</li>
ACT.stdWrap.case = lower
ACT.doNotLinkIt = 1

}

Any ideas? Can anyone explain why it's wrapping a link in another link?
If I could figure that out, I might be able to figure out how to prevent
it doing it.

Yes, it looks as though you've built a link with stdWrap without first
'turning off' the auto-generated TMENU link. Try adding
"NO.doNotLinkIt = 1" (it's also in the original ML post that I guess
you're working from [1]).

[1] http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermai...er/015843.html

But it looks like you're totally rebuilding the link, including the
link text. Any reason why you need to do that (i.e. since you only
need to change the href attribute of the link)?

Hi Christopher,

I tried doing this:

3 < .default
3.field = url # <-Changed this from title
3.stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
3.typolink.parameter.dataWrap = {field:title} # <- changed this from url
3.typolink.returnLast = url

In the hope that it would simply swap the fields... But no dice. That's
all I need to be able to do... get typolink to swap the parameters. It
doesn't work (read: I can't get it to work) even if I do something like

3.typolink.parameter = http://subdomain.example.com

It feels like I'm SO close to a solution. Looks like I might have to
investigate the userFunc option of typolink....

What is the problem? You were working from an already fully worked-out
solution. From that mailing list post, you should have needed to
change almost nothing at all…

As for the changes above, sorry but they're nonsensical (how could
providing the contents of the title field ever be the appropriate
value for typolink.parameter?!). In TS you will make yourself insane
if you just randomly switch properties around. The following code
works--I've stripped out anything extraneous, indented the code and
used braces etc (it's much easier to understand if you don't repeat
the same object name over and over


lib.extUrl = HMENU
lib.extUrl {
1 = TMENU
1 {
expAll = 1
noBlur = 1
wrap = <ul>|</ul>

NO {
stdWrap.cObject = CASE
stdWrap.cObject {
key.field = doktype
default = TEXT
default {
field = title
typolink {
parameter.data = field:uid
}
}

3 < .default
3 {
stdWrap.htmlSpecialChars = 1
typolink {
parameter {
data >
dataWrap = http://{field:url}
}
}
}
}
doNotLinkIt = 1
wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>
}
}
}

Thanks, Christopher. You are a genius! It worked 100% perfectly
