Project Detail

Description

We need some features added to the SimplyLinks component and plugin for Joomla 1.5. The current version works fine, but requires some manual editing and is missing a feature we consider key...to that end, we want the following added/modified:

1) When selecting an article for an internal or glossary link, use a "selection button" instead of having to provide the article number. This should work like many other linking routines in Joomla where a box appears with a list of articles that can be selected from--and the list can be filtered by section, category, or keyword.

2) Add parameter field to admin panel of plugin to modify line 24 of simplylinks.php to change the number of "times". This controls whether the plugin converts only the first instance of a keyword to a link versus converting all instances of a link.

3) Add a component parameter to control whether or not a "link graphic" appears next to each auto-generated link. This is currently set via the style sheet in the component. Will be acceptable to simply provide a "Use graphics with links? Y/N" type of question and switch between style sheets.

4) Minor edit: change label "Description" in admin interface to "Description (HREF Title Attribute Contents)"

5) Minor edit: change label "Category" to "Link Type"

6) Repackage component and plugin to be a single zip file that will install both pieces at the same time, correctly and in accordance with Joomla 1.5 standards.
