Node-page theming

Hi Nancy,

Sorry if it is my mistake, but I do not see the link itself, which is better when the link is ugly.
Hopefully there is a way with web links also to "masker" the link, so you see the node title, but the link is underneath, or better maybe a field which is the same as the link-text in a normal tag?

Thanks for going into this so thoroughly Nancy, very much appreciated!

Hi Nancy,

Visit was hardcoded unfortunately in links_weblink. But better to have it user-choosen what word it would be to show.
Next to this, thinking about it, it would be great if the node-title and the text you see as hyperlink would be user-chosen.

So you got:
Node-title: Say "Papageno"
Url: Say "http://www.dno.nl/index.php?as=3&c=sounds&m=archive&s=28&sm=archiveSeasons"
And an option to set
Url-text: Say "Muziektheater papageno uitvoering"
So please add this as an extra field.

This way the link looks nice and the user has the ability to show the link with different text than the node-title, which is also good for SEO purposes :)

For SEO purposes it is better to not completely reuse, but be able to tune the node-title and url-text as you like.
More flexibility. The best would be an option to use or the url, or the node-title or another field.
I am not having problems with to much settings if they are valuable and effective!

Looking forward what you build from it!

Hi Nancy,

Testing this as fast as I can. What I see you added a above/underneath view option, thanks!

I would very much appreciate the possibility, may be only through theming if otherwise not possible to show a different field as link-text. See how: http://www.operas.nu/papageno is now.
The css posibilities gives a much better layout, but to get rid of the ugly link showing on the page would be great!

Are there posibilities for this. May be something like (altered which I used for another module) for node-weblinks.tpl.php:

<a href="<?php print $node->url?>" title="<?php print $node->title?>"><?php print $node->title?></a>

YesYes! It is working thanks! Set this to closed.

Great this option to set your own visit text!
I will this weeks, very bussy, but will try also convert the bigger site best-information.eu to web links.
Let you know how the converting goes.
Thanks for implementing this feature!

Hi Nancy & Robert,

You guys are great!
Nancy which other module of you do I need to use now for other problems I still have on my sites...:)

Hi Nancy,

Sorry to open this again. Using Weblinks Drupal 5 RC7
I finally have the node-override working with panels. So I got on Weblinks node page the possibility to show other panel-panes next to the node itself.
See www.vindtocht.nl/salsa-en-tango-weekend-maastricht. The %title is not shown anymore after "Bezoek direct" which means Visit in dutch.

I think this is because panels itself uses %title.
EDIT: May be this is connected to: http://www.drupal.org/node/213751#comment-969268
Wandering if for now, not the %title, but immidiately the node-title can be gotten or may be the title token.., so panels does't interfere with the %title..

Sorry again for opening this, but you can imagine I hit my head also to the table when I finally had panels node-override working as explained here http://drupal.org/node/206185 and terms showing and than seeing that the %title is not showing anymore...

Thanks a lot for going into it again!

greetings,
Martijn

Hi Nancy,

Yes the visit setting says "Visit %title". I made it now "Visit" for testpurposes as you can see on: http://www.vindtocht.nl/niet-duur-ski-hotel-bij-verbier
Panels messes somehow with the title, pagetitle module doesn't work also correct with panels.

Hi Nancy,

Yes, I have the token module!

greetings,
Martijn

Hi Nancy,
Sorry, Panels itself is what me withhold the most going to 6. Panels is not ported yet.
And all sorts of modules I use are not on 6 yet. So sorry I have to stay on 5 for a while..
Thanks for backporting!

greetings,
Martijn

Hi Nancy,

Yep all sorts of tokens work, except....cry,cry, the [title] token.
I will make an issue on the panels.module. Banging my head again to the table.taken a cup of coffee.
Report you back what comes out of Panels. Cry, cry...

EDIT: May be this is the case: http://drupal.org/node/213751#comment-969268
It looks like node.tpl.php doesn't have control over the node-title.
Every token works, except the title token.

I build this in my node-weblinks.tpl.php..and it didn't work also..

<div class="links"><a href="<?php print $node->url ?>"><?php print 'Bezoek direct ' . $node->title ?></a><?php print $links; ?>
</div>

but I think on Weblinks level it is fixed..or you should build a new variable, $node->weblinks-title or something than I think it will show up under panels.

Greetings,
Martijn

Hi Nancy,
It is not working..I also think it is a panels problem.
What I do know is that using another $node fields works!
I also have the ad module, in that module a $node->adheader is build (this is the same as the node-title) and then it works.
I build this in my node-weblinks.tpl.php..and it didn't work also..

<div class="links"><a href="<?php print $node->url ?>"><?php print 'Bezoek direct ' . $node->adheader ?></a><?php print $links; ?>
</div>

So using another $node field will work, something like $node->weblink_title next to the title.

The $node->title will not work. In panels there is a discussion this is because theme and panels want to take charge over the title.

Hi Nancy,

I have moduleweight installed. Panels-pages and panels have already a value of 10 both. Weblinks 0 and Token 0. I set token to 5, but no success.
I just think that the title is big issue with panels. The issue on which I replyed is already critical: http://drupal.org/node/213751#comment-971868
Will try the patch stated there asap.

Hi Nancy,

Success!! The code is {node} n, but thanks a lot for all your effort!!!

// Panels deletes the title (http://drupal.org/node/213751).
    if (!isset($object->title)) {
      $object->title = db_result(db_query("SELECT n.title FROM {node} n WHERE n.nid=%d", $object->nid));

It gives another query, so I think this is a temporarely solution, when Panels solves http://drupal.org/node/213751. But thanks you so much for your great support for now!!
