output file name - anchor

[wishbone]

stupid question: want to link to an anchor on the tearget file. What is the name of the output file? I tried to guess, but /site/category/output/index.php isn't it, nor is site/category/output.php...

So, you should already know the targetfile, because you write the link ?? ok ?? (something like $targetpage->url)

Now you only have to append your anchorname:

<?php

echo "<a href='{$targetpage->url}#anchorname'>MyLink</a>";

thx! but I want it hardcoded, absolute URL...

[diogo]

You want it hardcoded or absolut? because they are different. You can have a dynamic absolute like this

rtrim($config->urls->root, "/").$page->url; // rtrim removes the trailing slash from the root url

or, if you really want it hardcoded (I can imagine you need it for javascript), you can view the page and copy the url, or just echo that code and copy the result

thank you! that only throws me, again, a folder. I need the hardcoded absolute path and file name...

I want to link to an anchor on the target page. I can't link to /site/category/output/#anchor

[diogo]

I can't link to /site/category/output/#anchor

How come not? Works with me on every browser I tried...

@wishbone 

what about setting the template to not use trailing slash

Hhm, what's exactly the problem?

Have you tried the suggestions?

What is the exact URL of your targetpage?

---

Do you know the exact URL?

[ ] YES

[ ] NO

If you have answered the above question with yes, your solution is as follows:

 - please type the known URL followed by a # and the anchorname exactly into the href of your link

ok, yes, now works, sorry, don't know why... I was confused because I don't have a file name.

Could you pls explain me the concept how the page is displayed if not a file?

[diogo]

The file displayed is always index.php, but the content being rendered depends on the url. It's like when you have a query string, like in domain.com/index.php?field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3, in that case all those pairs field/value can be pulled by get, and the content displayed can vary depending on them. Except that here, normal URLS are redirected to index, and via the URL segments the right page is displayed via some PW magic. I don't know exactly how it works, but maybe someone more informed can explain the details.

PW magic Yes !!

Well thank you, it's not important, only to understand the concept...
