Linking Articles & Categories

At times one needs a link to an article or to a category. Of course you could simply include the URL shown in the browser per clipboard into the source code. But there is a more elegant way to set links on articles or categories.

In the following example we show, how to set a text link for each article onto a contact article:

Template article text: {TemplateInclude name="HTMLHead"}           <table border=1><tr><td valign=top>                 <? PrintCategoryTree (); ?>           </td><td valign=top>                 <? PrintArticle (); ?>                 <hr>                 <a href=<? PrintLink ("", "Contact"); ?>>                      Contact                 </a>           </td></tr></table>      </body> </html>

As you can see, we used the normal HTML link tag to set the link onto the article. The „trick“ is the nesting of the normal HTML link tags with a template function named „PrintLink“. „PrintLink“ outputs a category’s or an article’s URL, whereby the first parameter is a category and the second parameter is the headline of an article. If you link onto an article the first parameter can simply be passed empty.
