[TYPO3-dev] Question about RTE link generation

[Steffen Ritter]

Hi list, espcially Stanislas Rolland,
we all know RTE as the "Eierlegende-Wollmilch-Sau" (sry, don't know any 
corresponding word in english) of editors. Something, which bothers me 
all the time is the link generation.
The wizard-window with selection for email-adresses,pages and so on is 
very nice for editors... But for admins there is the questions: why ara 
links generated as "full tags" and not as <link typolinkparam>text</link>.

Generating links and URLs completely TS config about linkvars, 
linkhandlers, hooks on linkgeneration (such as googleanalytics, download 
counter) and furthermore realurl are ignored.

So is there any reason why not acting like the standard tt_content link 
wizard (returning a parameter for typolink.parameter) and saving the 
link by <link param>|</link>, letting the parsefunc doing the rest, 
respecting all configuration.

If there is no reason for that: Tell me how I can help you refactoring 
this to work "the typo3 way" of link generation... (Probably a switch 
like "use classic link generation" in future versions for backwards 
compatability).


If there is: please tell me ;)

regards

Steffen
