Greetings,
I'm building a web app which allows the client to create items linking to literature items. One question, how do I tell the client to get the literature item url?
For example, if the literature item linked to a "House" PDF literature item, I have a field called "url-house":
<strong>{tag_name_nolink}</strong>
<ul>
<li><a href="{tag_url-house}">House</a></li>
<li><a href="{tag_url-senate}">Senate</a></li>
</ul>
Thanks!
Brian
I have asked many many times. LOL.
You have to insert into the editor area and cut and paste into a text field you make

Actually, should there be a way to include a field in the web app which simply allows the client to browse to a literature item?

Thanks Liam,
I'm curious about URL itself now, see the question I asked here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4514423#4514423
I suppose another way to get the URL would be to mouse over the literature item, note the ID number and place it in the URL convention mentioned in the KB article, the other discussion mentions.

Thats correct. You can do it by posting the URL directly OR by using the ID and making the URL in your template on the fly.
Im with Liam though, you would think having a link field type should not be that difficult, you could then link to anything in your BC site from a web app.

I used Liam's technique and plopped the {module_literature,i,140114} right into my web app text field. Not sure my client will find this very convenient. BC is always improving, a link field type is much needed.

Do this for a few and they do find it not natural but it's ok.
