CKEditor Link

A plugin to easily create links to Drupal internal paths

This module is an extension to the CKEditor module.

It also supports CKEditor installed through the Wysiwyg module.

This module allows to easily create links to Drupal internal paths through CKEditor's Link button and dialog.

It is composed of 2 parts:

1. A client-side CKEditor plugin that adds features to CKEditor's default Link plugin.
2. A server-side input format filter that converts the raw paths added through the plugin into aliased and, if applicable, language prefixed URLs.

Features

• Integrates with CKEditor's default Link button and dialog (no separate button/dialog)
• Adds a new option Internal path to the Link Type select box, that gets selected by default
• When Internal path is selected, displays an autocomplete textfield: just type some letters to get a list of suggestions!
• Natively supports linking to nodes, taxonomy terms, and menu item paths
• Exposes hooks for developers who want to extend the module
• Full multilingual support
• Link paths added through the plugin respect the standard URL format: /BASE/PATH/raw/internal/path
• The input format filter CKEditor Link Filter converts these raw paths into aliased URLs.
• A lot more!
