Link input (CMS_INPUT_LINK)

This input element is provided for entering links directly into a section, a page or embedded into a rich text editor.

If there is more than one link input type existing in the project (e.g. for internal or external links), they can be displayed in a drop-down list by clicking in the field or on the “Edit link” icon.

After selecting a type, information for the link to be created can be entered in the next step, such as:

• Internal link (on one of the project's pages): Link text, link target (page)
• External link (to another website): Link text, link target (URL), should the link open in a new window?
• Image link (adding an image): Image to be displayed
• Database link (Link to a database): Link text, link target (dataset)

Link input using standard input elements

In turn, each of these link types contains input elements for entering this information.

The following elements are in the figure, for example:

• Reference selection input element: “Target” label, selecting a page from the project/link target
• Link text input element: “Link text” label, entering link text

Using this button, entries and changes are applied and the view returns to the original link input.

Using this button, the view returns to the original link input without saving the entries or changes made.
