[TYPO3-dev] typolink improvments (link to records)

[Daniel Pötzinger]

Hello

I ask myself whats the best approach to link to records.
Intention should be that an editor can easy select a record like tt_news 
as linktarget - and this is translated to the correct link.

On pages whith much extensions (like tt_news etc) it becomes more and 
more necessary to link to certain newsrecords.

A suggestion on this:

add metasyntax to typolink e.g. <link record:tt_news:5>link</link>

This is translated in the frontend to a correct typolink.
therefore a typoscript configuration tells how to build the link, e.g. 
just by defining a typolink.

config.typolinkToRecords {
   tt_news {
     parameter={$ttnews.SinglePid}
     additionalParams=&tt_news[uid]={field:uid}
     additionalParams.insertData=1
   }
}


Currently there is a extension ch_rterecords which does similar things 
but with the disadvantage that it is not typolink compatible (used 
external url and is not aware of real_url etc..)

What do you think? Or is there allready a possibility for that feature?
