Hi Tom,
I have not seen anything that does this. Cool idea for a control but!

Cheers,
Neil

Thanks Neil,

I might just use a macro to get around it with a content picker or text box for now and populate the link based on which is populated.. but will look at making a control somewhere down the track!

It wouldn't be too difficult to make a UserControl datatype for this using the UserControl Wrapper.

It would be nice to have a single control/data-type to handle both internal/external redirects.

For previous sites I have used 2 property fields, one with "umbracoRedirect" (content picker) and a textstring called "externalUrl" ... the "umbracoRedirect" is taken care of internally in the page request - and for the "externalUrl", I handle that manually in the XSLT:

<a>
    <xsl:attribute name="href">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="string-length($currentPage/data[@alias='externalUrl']) &gt; 0">
                <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data[@alias='externalUrl']" />
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:NiceUrl($currentPage/@id)" />
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@nodeName" />
</a>

If there was a single control/data-type property, then it would be a simple case of checking if the value was numeric (i.e. nodeId) or a string, and that it started with "http" (or whatever... "mailto", "ftp", "callto", etc???)

Cheers, Lee.

I have been looking into how to use the rich text editor linker to do this... so far no luck :-\

The next version of uComponents (v2.0) will have a data-type called Url Picker that enables you to select an internal content node or an external URL!

The source-code is up on CodePlex: http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/SourceControl/list/changesets

A beta release of v2.0 is due out very very soon!

Cheers, Lee.

Hi ANAND,

This thread isn't related to your installation problem.  If you would like some advice and support, then you should post a topic in the appropriate section of the forum.

Please state which version of Umbraco you are trying to install and how you are installing it (e.g. downloaded from CodePlex or Web PI?)

Also include the version of your operating system and web-browser, etc.  As much information as you can possibly give - that way someone will be able to help!

Best of luck!

Cheers, Lee.
