An advanced Plone TinyMCE plugin for handling links to files

Project description

Introduction

This is a plugin for TinyMCE editor for Plone.

It will replace in the less obtrusive way the standard plonelink plugin, providing a version that handle in a different way links to File and Image contents.

Detailed documentation

When the link is not internal or not to a file nothing will change and standard Plone behavior is kept.

When you link a file or an image inside the Plone site you commonly get this XHTML code…:

<a class="internal-link" href="my-pdf">Download the document</a>

Instead you’ll get this…:

<a class="internal-link internal-link-tofile" href="my-pdf"
   type="application/pdf" title="pdf, 146.2 kB">Download the document</a>

(the same if you have enabled “Link using UIDs”)

The plugin also add a CSS to your Plone site that:

  • Add the image icon based on file’s mimetype, on the left of the link (if on IE, need IE 7 or better)

  • After the linked text will be added a text generated with CSS, with the same content you find in the title, put in bracket (need IE 8 or better). IE users with old versions still get’s some additional information thanks to the title HTML attribute.
