When adding a link using the default link-plugin, I want to be able to write "what-ever", e.g. #my-id. The link-plugin, doesn't allow this. It extracts all possible "anchors" in the current text being edited, but in my case, it is just part of a bigger "page".
Any ideas on configuration options, or do I need to write a custom plugin?
There are numerous suggestions around on how-to configure the existing plugins and remove UI-elements etc. It does not work in current version (4.4.3), but thankfully you can build your own plugin and remove the existing one, quite easily. There's a good explanation of a similar plugin in the documentation: http://docs.ckeditor.com
I also wrote a bit about this here: http://danielwertheim.se/2014/08/15/ckeditor-the-link-plugin-is-painfully-clever/

I'm developing a site for my company and I also need to modify the native component "mailto" to fit our needs.
I'm working with a joomla 2.5
I was wondering if future updates occur, what will happen to the lines I've added, for example, in "\components\com_mailto\controller.php"...
I haven't find answers on the net.
Also, for the same reason, I've modified the default layout of an article. Should I rename it? and if yes, how, because I couldn't do it (when I've tried the article did not display).
Thanks for your help
Before starting to edit core Joomla components, should should always have a look at the options you have. I don't believe in editing core file as it simply causes problems for updates when released, therefore in my opinion, you have 2 options:
I always make a note of all my requirements and start looking for a 3rd party extension that caters for my requirements.
If I cannot find a 3rd party extension and don't particularly want to start digging into it's code, I would go with developing a plugin. Plugins are used to manipulate the behavior or something and therefore come in extremely handy for when you would require core editing.
Editing the layout of an extension view is completely fine, but it's strongly recommended you make a Template Override so that if the extension does ever get updated, your changes won't get overridden.
So to answer you initial question, any line you have added to the controller.php file will get overridden when you decide to update the extension.
Hope this helps
While the answer from Lodder is totally valid, as a last resource you can also consider forking the com_mailto as a separate component.
This has some disadvantages:
you need to rename all the files involved (controllers, models, views)
you need to maintain it and keep in in sync with future updates (consider than you are now on 2.5.x and in a year you might want to upgrade to 3.x).
I've seen it before, but I can't remember which project or which documentor they used (if any).
I'm pretty sure it was a JS project, probably a Node.JS module.
Anyhow, the documentation was listed by file, and each page displayed as 2 columns, one with the inline documentation, and the other with the code.
Does anyone know which tools allow for this?
"Annotated Documentation" is what I was trying to think of!
The tool was docco.
The above link is docco's documentation as documented using docco.
I've just started work on an existing Joomla! site, and have a requirement to add an alternative language version of an article. Note that this isn't a full-internationalization effort - we don't need every part of the interface translated - just the need to have another 'version' of an article. Ideally, though, this would include more than just the core content - for example, title. I don't really want to create a second article because, in essence, this really is just a single article, and I don't want things like comments to be split between two separate articles.
Does anyone know if this can be done using joomla core?
If not, can anyone recommend an existing component that will do this?
A good component for manage translations in Joomla 1.5 is Joom!fish. It allows you to do a whole internationalization that, as you said, isn't exactly what you want to do. However I like to think in the long run so, if there's more change, I have not to restructure again and again just because of I haven't thought it before. Hence, if I were you, I would like to use Joom!fish anyway.
Well, as a short fix - Google Translator works and can be installed into your template you're using.
Then you can set it to be hidden unless the users browser is set to use a different language as default - then a small pop-up box drops down and it asks to translate it using google translate.
If that's not the option you're looking for - joom!fish is a good component others rave about but I don't have much experience with personally. Outside of that I'm not really sure.
Hanny had a good idea that would be really easy to implement in an article with the right extension. You can use this extension -
http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/tabber
This would allow you to easily create tabs with the translations available anywhere you have them. The page above uses the extension to display the tabs, it would be trivial to implement.
There are no options displayed when I'm looking at a plugin with the plugin manager. Where there should be a menu for basic and advance options is just white space. How can I start trouble shooting this problem? Other installed extensions work fine and hours of searching about plugin options make me think this is a peculiar error. This is what my menu looks like http://i.stack.imgur.com/s2S4K.png
The plugin you are using is not written for Joomla 1.6, the XML manifest needs to be updated at the very least. The plugin itself may also need to be rewritten. I would start withe the XML file first, you can find details on the changes that need to be made here - http://www.theartofjoomla.com/home/9-developer/112-upgrading-a-plugin-to-joomla-16.html
I'm new to Ruby/Redmine/Redcloth but I'm trying to achieve the following:
The default way to build a link in Textile is "foo":http://bar. However, 90% of the day I use Atlassian products, which use [foo|http://bar] as link markup.
To keep everything a bit uniform I'd like to implement this in Redmine via a plugin. However, it appears that you can't change the macro syntax so instead I'll have to look into extending RedCloth to accept this form of inserting links.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Thank you and merry christmas,
Dennis
You might consider switching to one of the two Markdown plugins (one is Markdown Extra-like, based on Bluefeather), which are a bit more similar in link style, although not the same as what you are used to. Since you use SO, though, you're obviously familiar with it.
Otherwise you'd have to write a full plugin, for which either of the plugins I've mentioned would serve as a good model. Best of luck.
