When I add an announcement to the module, and set the "no link" property, the URL Token points to the actual URL, but not correctely: instead of www.site.com/home/tab/xx/default.aspx, it points to www.site.com/home/tab/xx/ (without the default.aspx). Klicking on that link leads to an HTTP 403 Error. How can I handle announcement, for which I don't want a link to further information?

Changing the template (removing the <a href... part) is not possible, because for some announcement I need the link, for others I don't)

Any Ideas, how to propperly handle announcements without a link?

Thanks,
Rene

in version 4.0.0 of the module you should be able to use this syntax: [URL|<a href="{0}">some text</a>]... however.. i just found out that that is not working, due to a smal bug in the implementation of tokenreplace.... I've just fixed that bug and a few others, and submitted a new version of the module to the release tracker (http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Development/ProjectReleaseTracking/tabid/997/Default.aspx). I am hoping on a quick release....

Oh.. I forgot.. as a workaround you might try the new [READMORE] token, which displays a read more link that will hide if no link is available

Will it be possible to use tokens within the link? e.g.  [URL|<a href="{0}">[TITLE]</a>]...  to use the announcement title as a link?

Thanks a lot

regrettably not. That would surely be a nice feature, but it is not possible to use nested tokens. Mind you, this is core functionality...

i will try to find a workaround for this thoug (any suggestions are welcome)
