I'm looking at links that I've entered into the HTML module that reference other pages on the site. I noticed that many of the links refer to the page by ID and others refer to pages by their friendly URL. I'm currently in development phase. This is bad because the links that are referenced by freindly URLS are referenced as localhost or by a temporary domain I've setup for development. The domain will be different once deployed.

Can someone enlighten me as to why I have mixed results and second, is there an automated way to fix all of these (other than doing search and replace in the database itself)?

Thanks,

Kevin

it depends whether you select "open in new window" or link tracking/logging, whether the linkclick.aspx handler is used (which will work even if relative address of the portal changes within the domain)

Ok, I just created 3 links. 1 with the default options, one with a popup window and one that tracked clicks.  Of the three, only the one that tracked clicks didn't include my temporary domain in the address.

Now I admit to not being a very experienced web developer (desktop developer doing this for charity), but I thought one of the fundamental principles of making web pages would be to use addressing relative to the home directory of the web application. This allows you to change domain names without having to update all of the links.  Why in the world does DNN insert the absolute path into the links?  This seems insane!

I don't know how to link to pages now without clicking the track option.  This would be an obvious problem for nearly everyone so I'm clearly doing something wrong. What is it?

I now have a really big mess on my hands and I don't know how to solve it save going through and updating all of the links that have been created without the tracking option. Any suggestions before I waste half of a day on this?

Thanks

Oh, this is awesome. I just upgraded to 5.6 and now the workaround I was using before of clicking the "track" button doesn't work anymore. The link manager has changed such that when I insert a link, even though it uses the tab id to reference the destination page, it now records the url using the absolute path. I guess I can edit it by hand but I can't expect my user's to do this. Wtf?

you may edit web.config and switch back to FCKEditor as default.
