Hi.

I am having problems with figuring out how to pass variables to my ezxmltags/link.tpl.

I would like to be able to call attribute_view_gui attribute=bodytext url_type='full'

link.tpl should be able to get this variable and thus i am able to use aboslute url instead of relative url.

This does not work however.

Are there any ways of accomplishing such a thing without affecting the kernel or ezpublish classes ?

(The reason why this is needed, is so that my htmlemails will display links properly, not relative)

Hi,

You can override the original link.tpl file and add "full" to the ezurl operator parameters.

Good luck.

Thanks Romain.

I have managed to do so, but that forces me to output the links as absolute all the time.

My goal is toe be able to pass on a parameter which i can use to check for in my link.tpl

Is this possible? or am i not able to pass on a variable with attribute_view_gui for an xml block datatype ?

I will just do what i have done already.. i will output all links in links.tpl as aboslute.

That way i make sure to stick to one scheme as well sa make sure that htmlemails contain correct and full urls.
