collective.tinymceplugins.advfilelinks

Introduction

This is a plugin for TinyMCE editor for Plone.

It will replace in the less obtrusive way the standard plonelink plugin, providing a version that handle in a different way links to File contents.

When the link is not internal or not to a file, nothing change.

When you link a file inside the Plone site, instead of obtain this in your XHTML...:

<a class="internal-link" href="./my-pdf">Download the document</a>

...you'll get this...:

<a class="internal-link internal-link-tofile" href="./my-pdf"
   type="application/pdf" title="pdf, 146.2 kB">Download the document</a>

The plugin also add a CSS to your Plone site that:

• Add the image icon based on file's mimetype, on the left of the link (if on IE, need IE 7 or better)
• After the linked text will be added a text generated with CSS, with the same content you find in the title, put in bracket (need IE 8 or better). IE users with old versions still get's some additional information thanks to the title attribute.

How this looks like (on Firefox)

What you will find inside TinyMCE

TODO

• More control on the plugin popup on what the user can show when creating the link
