Is it possible to add a field to write custom html attributes for a link? like hreflang or lang

It could be a text field where we could write "hreflang="fr" and it is added to the final link like "rel" field.

I want this too.
Especially for hreflang and title attributes.

Or offer "harcoded" fields for valid attributes (hreflang, lang, title, rel, rev, …) and an additional text field for custom attributes.

Well, you'll be happy to hear that 'title' can now be set in the field settings page, in the current devel branch. So you'll get that soon.

That said, hreflang is apparently referencing the target of the link, and so can't be handled so easily... Hm.

I don't want to allow just any text to be entered when a link is being created, because of the possibility of wierd values. Do you know of anywhere in Drupal where the possible languagecodes are available? One idea that comes to mind is a switch on the field settings page that would allow for a dropdown of different languages to be displayed on the node form, where the user entering the link could set the language there.

Thoughts, ideas?

the language code can be accessed with the $_GLOBALS['language'] object :

but i think that you would need to get infos about i18n too (i never used it)

You may want to include in your example on the project page what is necessary to preserve the attributes...

echo l($field_CCK_LINK[0]['title'], $field_CCK_LINK[0]['display_url'], array('attributes'=>$field_CCK_LINK[0]['attributes']) );

Placing it within a link function call might be good as well.

Maybe this could be done for the D7 version and then back-ported to D6.

I was going through this blog post on multi-lingual accessibility and started thinking about adding in hreflang attributes.

Works well in both HTML4 & HTML5, but it doesn't seem to be used all that much in practice.

I'll close this issue due to inactivity for 14 years and upcoming EOL of Drupal 7 in January 2025. While the project version for Drupal 7 will keep providing support for security issues and website breaking bug fixes for Drupal 7, we should try to minimize the open issues for Drupal 7 in the queue as much as possible. Thanks for the report and all the efforts in here. Feel free to re-open if you can provide a fix or found an additional related problem which increases the issue priority to "Critical" here.
