But perhaps it would be better to use a content picker / Multinode Tree Picker in combination with a textstring. That way you can use the textstring for external ur's and the MNTP for internal ur's making it possible to add multiple internal url's.
Perhaps you could even build an archetype so it would be possible to add multiple external links as well. That of course requires that you install the Archetype package.
Once it's installed you need to go to the "Developer" setting and right click the "Datatypes" folder in order to be able to create an instance of the multi url picker property editor so that you can use it on your document types. Ones that is done you can select your created multi url picker on a document type in the "Settings" section and then you can render the links with the Razor examples the package creator has provided on the package page.
This seems to be a much much better approach than the one I originally suggested.
Using Textstring as link?
Hi,
I'm having issues getting RelatedLinks to add any values in the backoffice so I was wondering if I am able to use a Textstring as a link somehow?
Thanks,
Jon
Hi Jon
Seems like many are having issues :-/

Hope this makes sense.

I am using a combination of Textstring + ContentPicker at the moment.
However, this solution is a pain in the ass.
Something like the link creator from the RTE would be cool:
And combine it with custom queries so you can select data which isn't available in the tree or has custom generated URIs.
Hi Jan, Tobias,
Thanks for your responses.
How would I go about using these methods of creating links for internal/external URLs? I'm a little unsure and a short tutorial would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Jon
Hi Jon
In the mean time I got aware of the Multi Url Picker package, which allows you to create internal and external links as well you can find it here http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/multi-url-picker
Once it's installed you need to go to the "Developer" setting and right click the "Datatypes" folder in order to be able to create an instance of the multi url picker property editor so that you can use it on your document types. Ones that is done you can select your created multi url picker on a document type in the "Settings" section and then you can render the links with the Razor examples the package creator has provided on the package page.

Hope this helps.
