An advanced Plone TinyMCE plugin for handling links to files
Project description
Introduction
This is a plugin for TinyMCE editor for Plone.
It will replace in the less obtrusive way the standard plonelink plugin, providing a version that handle in a different way links to File contents.
Detailed documentation
When the link is not internal or not to a file, nothing change.
When you link a file (or an image) inside the Plone site, instead of obtain this in your XHTML…:
<a class="internal-link" href="my-pdf">Download the document</a>
…you’ll get this…:
<a class="internal-link internal-link-tofile" href="my-pdf" type="application/pdf" title="pdf, 146.2 kB">Download the document</a>
(the same if you have enabled “Link using UIDs”)
The plugin also add a CSS to your Plone site that:
Add the image icon based on file’s mimetype, on the left of the link (if on IE, need IE 7 or better)
After the linked text will be added a text generated with CSS, with the same content you find in the title, put in bracket (need IE 8 or better). IE users with old versions still get’s some additional information thanks to the title HTML attribute.
Customize format of link to contents
Plone normally doesn’t manage link to file is special ways (it simply generate a link to the base URL of the content).
This plugin will add a new control inside advanced settings:
Playing with those options can change the format of the generated link, addind a suffix to it.
- Link to download content (default)
Force the download of the file (or image)
- Link to content’ preview
A link to a view of the content
- Direct link to content (TinyMCE default)
Do not add any suffix.
Most of the time “Link to download content” is like “Direct link to content”. Most of the time in Plone calling url/to/a/file is like calling url/to/a/file/at_download/file, but without an explicit at_download/file sometimes the target file can be opened by browser plugins (expecially common for images, where url/to/an/image will open the image in the browser).
The “Link to content’ preview” cab ne used to create links that are not opening the attachment, but move user to the Plone content.
