RB Internal Links Wordpress Plugin
October 7th, 2007
What does this plugin do?
The internal link plugin allows blog owners to easily link to posts and pages within their wordpress blog without having to enter the full URL. Use wiki style tags to define a link when writing a post the sites permalink structure is maintained. The wiki code can be inserted manually or by using the wysiwyg plugin.
Can I see it in action?
Below are some screenshots taken using the plugin. The first is an example of the wiki code in the editor and the last two are examples of the wysiwyg plugin.
Download
Latest version of RB Internal Links from the WP Repository
Installation
- Upload the “rb-internal-links” folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
- Activate the plug-in
- Browse to Options > RB Internal Links to take a look at preferences
- Start internally linking
Usage
To manually link a page:
At the place you would like the link to appear write
<!`--{post id="post-slug" text="link text"--`>
OR
<!`--{post id="post-id" text="link text"--`>
removing the tick (`) that I had to put in to stop the example from parsing and exchanging post-slug or post-id for the post or page slug/id you would like to link to.
Note:
- text is the text or html you would like to put within the anchor tag and should be ok with anything other than { or “
- you can specify a class for the link using …
class="my_class"… - you can specify a target for the link using …
target="_new"… - you can put html in the text parameter, e.g. text=”<img src=’myimage.gif’ />”
Using the tinymce wysiwyg editor:
- Make sure you’ve ticked “enable wysiwyg editor” on the plugin preferences page.
- A new icon will appear on the wysiwyg toolbar, it looks like a page with a link over itClicking on the icon will pop-up a toolbox
- Select the category the post you need is in or alternatively, choose pages for a list of pages
- Click on the post or page you wish to link to
- Fill in the optional properties for the link
- Click “Insert Link”

Thanks for the great plugin!
Two things:
- The meta tag for the popup window in tmce_plugin.php on line 29 should be changet to utf-8, in order to facilitate showing of unicode encoded post/page titles.
- In the same file, on line 17, it is safer to return the article->ID instead of post_name, since you cannot guarantee that the slug will be non-unicode (in which case it is an ASCII encoded string, totally unreadable). Maybe this can be made an option - what to return, the id or the slug.
Best regards, Vanco

Hey Vanco, some great suggestions that I’ll build in this evening. Thanks for your feedback.

great plugin!!!
thanks

is possible this plugin works in mode code (instead of Visual Editor, )
thanks

Hi there
Cool plugin, waited for something like that all the time 
But I do have an issue with using the plugin in the wysiwyg editor. The icon does not appear. I downloaded the plugin, put the top folder and all its contents (including all subfolders etc pp)in the plugin folder of my wordpress installation and activated it. Then I checked whether all settings are ok, which they are.
But the icon does not display.
I am using WP 2.3.1. Any ideas?
November 13th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
Oh, and by the way, there still is a Thumbs.db in the image folder
November 13th, 2007 at 10:16 pm
And one more thing
The URL in the plugin information does link to http://www.blograndom.com/extras/ - guess there is ‘/blog’ missing somewhere.

How to link to a category page?
December 16th, 2007 at 3:57 am
Hi Cohen,
It looks like it will be a very handy plugin. I intstalled, activated, and updated the options but I am unable to see it when I am making a post.
Where should it show up?
Steve

Hi Stephen,
There seem to be a few people having problems getting the tinyMCE icon to appear. It should be in the visual toolbar and it looks like a page with a link in front of it.
If it isn’t there could you let me know what version you are currently using and also what other plugins you have installed as I have tried to install the plugin in multiple scenarios and it always appears for me. Very odd!
And Daniel:
At the moment you can’t link to category pages or anything other than a post or page. I’m noted you’re request, and it is something I hope to build in soon along with the ability to link to other items, such as blogs in the blogroll.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:10 am
I am running Wordpress 2.3.1 and had the problem with the icon not showing up in TnyMCe.
Solution:
I checked the source of the live site and got this:
—————————————-
/* */
——————————–
It should be the following on lines 122-124 of rb-internal-links.php:
——————————–
echo ” . “\n” . ‘// //’ . “\n” . ”;
——————————–
works fine now!
December 19th, 2007 at 10:11 am
it commented out my code for real! ahah
ok…
so just replace any instance of * /
with / /
with no spaces between the two characters
December 19th, 2007 at 10:32 pm
Thanks Aleks! I can’t figure out why the /* */ comments wouldn’t work but I’ve taken your word for it and changed them to normal line comments.
The new version, with an updated rb-internal-links.php is available from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rb-internal-links.zip
Please let me know if this finally solves the mystery of the tinymce icon.
December 21st, 2007 at 12:29 am
Nice plugin!
Do you have any idea why I can only see the inserted link if I switch to the Code tab and back, or hard refresh the page? (WP2.2.1)
Cheers

December 22nd, 2007 at 2:00 am
I’ve added in some code so that on the preview tab the ugly code is hidden and replaced with the value in the text=”*” parameter.
Make sure you have some content in the text=”" parameter, if you do and it still shows nothing in the preview tab please send over the link code so I can test it out.
January 4th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Hi Cohen!
I cant see my text, when i add an internal link.
I usually select text and afterwards add the internal link. When I apply the link now, the text is invisible although it works after publishing on the frontend.
also if I edit the post/page after publishing I can see the text with the yellow background.
January 7th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Ah ok I see the problem! The text doesn’t appear straight away if you insert the link using the tinymce plugin. As soon as you go to code and back to preview it works again.
I’ll need to run the ‘code hide’ function when the link is inserted in order for it to appear straight away.
January 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
thanks for the plugin,
another thing displaying the links, is it possible that it adjusts to the url-pattern setting for permanent-links? i am having pattern without id (like http://server/about/email), but the rb-plugin still genereates something like http://server/?page_id=31 . it would be fantastic if all internal links would match or adjust to the chosen permanent-link pattern.
January 8th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
hi again,
i was mistaken. it was an old link which appeared and i thought it got generated by your plugin.
never the less now i see that plugin does not work (i cannot see an icon top right in editor nor manual rich editing works).
i followed installing procedure as you suggested and got only success-messages and rb-links options are all activated.
i am using standard wordpress 2.3.2.
rb-link plugin version is v0.13.
January 9th, 2008 at 2:19 am
all good things are three…
weird, without having done something the plugin works now. the only difference between now and some ours ago is, that i logged off and loggin again to the admin area. could this be the reason?
January 9th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Hi there! Firstly great plugin!
Just one thing, would it be possible to allow linking to anchors? This would make linking to sections on the same page much easier! Atm I can’t see a way to do that with your plugin.
~Shiv
January 9th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
I stumbled upon a strange behaviour:
if you’re using Admin Menu http://www.semiologic.com/software/publishing/admin-menu/
this menu is inserted in the head of the link pop-up window, too?
January 9th, 2008 at 11:14 pm
Woah, glad to see the plugin is gaining some popularity! Sorry about everyone having issues, I’ll do my best to get to the bottom of them.
manuel: I’m not sure why the plugin didn’t appear until you’d logged out and back in again. This doesn’t make much sense and I haven’t heard of it before. Did you disable any other plugins at the same time?
Shiv: Do you mean linking to anchors on the page you are linking to? If so this sounds like a great idea, I’ll add the code for this. If not, I’m not sure what you mean?
Marco: I’ll have to test this out, not sure whether its my fault or admin menu’s. :p
January 10th, 2008 at 1:01 am
yes, does not make real sense, for i don’t think either that logging in/out would change a plugin’s state in wordpress architecture.
but logging in/out was the only thing i remember which changed.
other plugins (flexi-pages, akismet) weren’t activated or deactivated.
never the less… let’s be grateful that it works now.
January 10th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Seems as the Admin Menu is adding the trouble, as Dashbar works fine.
January 11th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
okay thanks cohen!
did you do an update on the code hide funtion position?
’cause otherwise i will have a look on it if i can change it (my scripting skills are not really intermediate
flo
January 19th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Cohen,
TNX for a great plugin.
As for the “linking to anchors”: What I would like to generate (and I think that’s what Shiv wants, too) are links like
http://www.mysite.com/links#some_super_program
January 20th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
doesn’t work for me either… wp 2.3.1, plugin is activated, no errors. icon doesn’t show up in the editor, tried some tricks, logged in and out. nothing. any ideas?
January 20th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
very strange behavior! i did nothing *except* for logging in and out several times, and now it seems to work! seems like instability its best.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Nice plugin. Should really be implemented by default. But how do I remove a link in visual mode?
January 24th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
I have 2.3.1 and I cannot view the icon in the visual editor. I have the latest rb_internal-links.php file too.
Thank you for releasing this plugin! I cannot wait to get it working
January 27th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Thanks for all the feedback again, sorry its taken a while to get back to you all.
Flo - I’ve just released an updated version that inserts the correct code in to the visual version.
Everyone with missing tinymce icon until logging in/out - I’m not sure what could be causing this, is it possible that the tinymce settings are cached? As long as the admin panel reports the tinymce plugin as enabled there is nothing stopping this working.
Anders - I have also come across the issue of removing a link in visual mode, not sure how to get around this yet. Anyone have any ideas?
January 27th, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Oh and I almost forgot, Andreas - I’ve added the anchor feature you were after.
February 1st, 2008 at 8:34 am
Hi and thanks for the plugin, just what we were looking for today! I initially also had problems with the icon not showing up (in Firefox), but open IE and it was there, so I just hit shift+F5 in FF and the icon showed after clearing the cache.
There’s one issue though. We’re running WP 2.3.2 and when we’re adding a link with this plugin, it doesn’t show in the visual editor. Only when we click Save (and continue) does the link show up. Wouldn’t be such a problem for us, but harder to ask a client to remember the roundabout procedure.
Has anyone else run into this?
February 1st, 2008 at 8:46 am
Short follow up - also seems to create a problem with the code view mode. When having added a link (which doesn’t show up) and then clicking on “code view”, it freezes both my FF and IE browser.
Secondly, if I highlight part of a word in the visual editor and then click to add a new link with this plugin, the popup window breaks that link apart for the “Link text” field, so that part of the link appears after and outside of the textbox.
Great plugin though, just a few glitches, at least in my setup.
February 5th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Sounds great! I can’t find the new version though. The download link up in the article seems to go to the old version (0.13). At least I couldn’t find any hints on how to use the new anchor feature. Any idea?
February 6th, 2008 at 3:49 am
Just came back to check if there’d been a reply to my comment and spotted that the first of my two posts didn’t get listed, perhaps it got deleted when I posted twice?
Anyway, what I originally said was that in my WP 2.3.2, when I add a link with the plugin, it doesn’t show up until I click save. OK if you know about it, but can be confusing.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:25 am
Hi Karl/Andreas,
I may have forgotten to commit this to the wordpress plugin site but both these features have now been implemented.
I’ll put this up tonight and then let you know so you can download it and test it out. Hopefully some of these bugs will be fixed.
February 7th, 2008 at 6:13 am
It’s brilliant, I love it and it’s exactly what I’ve been waiing for. Thank you!
February 9th, 2008 at 7:48 am
Hi Cohen,
I wrote a little while ago as I was having problems getting your plugin to work. It somehow magically started working (just got to love computers!)
This is a very cool plugin and it makes my life soooo much easier.
Thanks a million,
Steve
February 12th, 2008 at 2:46 am
Hi Cohen,
Thanks, that sounds great with a new version, I’ll check back and hopefully it’ll be up soon. At the moment, if I’ve added a link, place the cursor somewhere close to it and switch to code view in the WP editor, it crashes my entire computer (running Vista and Firefox 2), racking the memory consumption up to 98-99%, forcing me to re-boot!
Apart from that, still works great though.
February 12th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Sorry about the MASSIVE delay in getting the new version out, I’ve just committed it to the wordpress plugin cvs. Please give it a go and let me know how you get on.
February 13th, 2008 at 3:11 am
Cohen -
Thanks ever so much! It now shows straight away and doesn’t crash the computer; it’s working flawlessly. Great job!
Thanks, Karl
February 13th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Works absolutely fine, thank you very much!
February 17th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Hi Cohen,
Thanks for this great plug-in. I’ve just installed your latest version (2-12-08) on WP 2.3.3 but am still having the problems previous users spoke of:
- The tinymce wysiwyg editor button not showing up
- And after manually inserting the link in the code editor, the link doesn’t appear on the visual side. The link does appear in the published post, but still doesn’t in the visual editor when I got back to edit it.
I tried logging in and out again, but no luck there. I do have several other plug-ins installed though, including cforms II which has a wysiwyg editor button too. So maybe it’s conflicting with that.
Other plug-ins I have installed are: Google XML Sitemaps, WordPress.com Stats, No Self Pings, Akismet, Flexi Pages Widget, My Category Order, AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget (drop-down), Google Analytics for WordPress, cfoms II, and All-in-one SEO pack.
Sorry for the really long post and thanks again,
Aubrey
P.S. In the readme, the “For more information visit” link has a typo - it says link instead of links and takes you to a 404 NOt Found page:

February 18th, 2008 at 10:10 am
Hi again,
I just wanted to let you know that about 5-6 hours after I sent my comment yesterday, the wysiwyg editor button appeared and is still here after a day. And it works great.
Thanks!
February 24th, 2008 at 6:37 am
Awesome plugin! Almost exactly what I’m looking for. Would you be interested in adding a search box? For larger blogs with hundreds or thousands of posts, browsing by category isn’t very efficient. Great work though! Works like a charm.
February 27th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Hello Cohen,
after deactivating the plugin or removing the plugin directory, TinyMCE shows up with an empty textbox for every post - wether it includes an internal link or not. The sourcecode box is empty, too. How can I deactivate or uninstall the plugin without having such problems? An upgrade to 2.3.3 german didn’t help. Only a new installation and activation of your plugin helps.
Robert
March 8th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Hi Cohen,
I really like the simplicity of the plugin in action as I have used on several sites.
Now I seem to have an issue with it when running php on a Windows machine (not a great combination, but necessary for various reasons) and in the pop up-window I DO see my pages and posts, but when I click on either one, the page just continues to load - “Loading posts…”, but the pages or posts never show up.
It works fine on non-windows systems with the same setup, latest version of your plugin along with WP 2.3.
Any idea what can be the fault?
Thanks!
March 8th, 2008 at 2:05 pm
I love this plugin thanks
Can you make it so I can create a link to the category?
March 19th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Glad to hear the new version has fixed a lot of issues.
Julian: a search box sounds like an excellent addition, hopefully there is a built in function for searching I can reuse. I’ll add it to the todo list.
Robert: very odd, I wonder whether there is a cache issue with the js here. Did the problem go away eventually?
James: being on windows shouldn’t make much of a difference. The only thing I can think of is the ajax requests going to a different URL to the one you are browsing on, which your browser will block. Strange though as I think all the ajax calls are relative. Could you take a look at the source code for the url it is using?
Those upgrading to wordpress 2.5 soon: there is one small bug I need to fix but upgrading won’t break anything.
March 26th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Was the new version, 1.2 expected to fix the ‘no icon in the Visual Editor’ issue? I’m using WP 2.5RC1 and I’m still not getting the icon.
March 26th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
A correction to my previous comment, I’m using version 2.0 of your plugin.
March 27th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Oh my god, I finally found the holy grale! I can’t believe this functionality isn’t in WP already, so major kudos to you Cohen.
A feature request would be to be able to remove the link again without going into html mode. Maybe the posibility of marking the link and pressing the button to edit/delete the link?
Now the only thing I need in WP is a way to link to downloadable files. You up for the task Cohen?
March 28th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Hi Dennis,
Thanks, glad you like the plugin. I’d also like the ability to highlight the link and remove my code. It shouldn’t be too difficult so I’ll give that a go soon.
Can you not link to files using the image/file manager built in to wordpress? I’m sure you can choose for the link to be a thumbnail, a text link or the full size version.
March 28th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
@Cohen: I this a general “file library” with a matching button in the editor is what I am after. If I upload e.g. a PDF file, I cannot put it in a “pdf” folder and I cannot choose to link to it in the editor. Instead I have to have all the files in one big pile and to link to it I have to remember the file location or copy/paste….that’s if I am not mistaken?
March 30th, 2008 at 10:26 am
this would be a great plugin - i am sure, if only that icon would appear in my toolbar!
April 2nd, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I have searched for a plugin like this for a while, and I really need to be able to create internal links in an easy way.
But I can’t get it to work under Safari 3.1 with WP 2.5 (haven’t tried an earlier version of WP, though). All I get is a inlinkerror in a comment when I view the HTML. It works fine in FF.
Also, a feature request:
Could it be possible to have a preference setting or similar to turn on/off the class, target and anchor fields. In a non-tech user environment it can make more harm then good…
And perhaps also to get the Link text filled automatically with the title of the post/page that is being linked. That would be great.
Thanks for the hard work you are doing. Really appreciate it.
April 9th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
Perhaps you can add the title tag for the links? Furthermore a rel tag would be perfect to add nofollow or bookmark, etc.
When text is left blank it should be automatically added the post/category/page title. This would be great! Looking forward to a notation like
April 10th, 2008 at 12:29 am
When using this in conjunction with the TinyMCE Advanced plugin, the icon no longer shows up. Not sure which plugin is at fault though.
April 16th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Hi! Last night I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 and lost the functionality of this plugin. I checked and the WYSWYG is checked. Is there something I need ot do? I have the latest version of the plugin installed.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:04 am
yes - great plugin (I think so) but I can’t find the new icon on my tinytoolbar :/ … cache is empty, logout, restart - I did all, but this little icon is not there - any ideas?
Sven
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Same as Fenke, no RB icon in my toolbar (WP2.5, french localization). Should be a great plugin!
April 24th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
To everybody having issues with the plugin in wordpress 2.5:
I’ve just committed a new version to the wordpress depository. Could you try downloading it and giving it a go? The only file you need to replace is rb-internal-links.php
Hope this fixes it, if not I’m really stumped!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Thanx for your work Cohan - but nothing happend with the icon.
First I only replaced the rb-internal-links.php. After that I updeated the whole plugin. :/
This icon was nerver show on the toolbar. Is this important for you: I use for the toolbar the “TinyMCE Advanced”-plugin.
thanx & hope you can fix it.
April 25th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
No icon for me sadly 2.5 user I also try it manually and nothing shown up
I better check with you that I was doing it right?
I used my html view put then saved, I wanting to bring in this link http://graficadesigns.com/desktop-wallpaper/
April 25th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Hi Cohen,
i didn’t reach you by mail and had and addition to your plugin that might be useful to integrate (search for posts, instead of clicking through categories).
If you’re interested send me a mail.

May 10th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
To backup what Karl Wångsted said, it doesn’t work in Safari 3.1, the tag is replaced with an error, like this (I replaced brackets with parens so the code isn’t eaten):
(!–intlinkerror–)class=”rbIntLinkText”)sadfasdf(/span)`
May 10th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
One other thing…the links RBIL generates are static (that is, they include http://foo.com/“). Would it be possible to have a pref to generate only relative links?

Hey Anton,
Could you make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of the plugin. A lot of people have had luck with the latest version with wordpress 2.5 and 2.5.1 where before there was no icon.
Hey Andi,
I did get your emails (I think) but work has been crazy busy. I’ll take a look and get back to you asap.
Safari Errors,
I’ll speak to the mac guy at work.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I am having trouble getting the button on the editor to show up in Wordpress 2.5 or 2.5.1. I have tried uninstalling it and putting it back up but it still doesn’t show. I have 2 different installs and it won’t work in either.
What else can I try?

Hi cohen,
I like your plugin. But i use the nextgen gallery plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) and I would like to be able to link to albums and/or galleries as well. Could you give me some hints which functions I must change to make that work? I don’t really want to understand your plugin, just enough to change what I want.
I don’t think this should go by default into your plugin, but I would like to have it.

if you need help, like translating (german), you can contact me.

forgot one thing: a “remove internal link” button would be nice, so you can unlink an internal link again (withut getting in the code view).

Thanks for the great plugin! My only suggestion for its improvement would be to support large numbers of pages. I am currently using it in a CMS wordpress install and I can’t view all of my pages when I use the tinyMCE editor button.
July 5th, 2008 at 6:49 am
I absolutely love this! I still can’t get over the fact this function isn’t a default in WP or TinyMCE.
I am having a problem however and posts 16 & 17 above seem to match my issue. I highlight the text, browse to the page I want to link, link it, link shows in yellow and my linking world is a happy place. Then I hit the SAVE button and my visual page text disappears. I am left with nothing but a blank white page in Visual mode.
I have tried switching back and forth between Visual and HTML, logging out & logging in, Visual mode page is still blank white.
This is in the FF browser. Trying it in IE6, upon clicking SAVE everything hangs, I finally had to do a ctrl+alt+del to get out of it. Then got an error msg about a script running on the page and line 49 if that helps.
I *REALLY* want to be able to use this plugin, but I can’t if my Visual page disappears, especially on a client’s site. I hope you’re very close to having a fix for this. Thank you, other than that glitch this is probably the best little add-on for a newbie WP user that I’ve found so far.

The internal link plugin allows blog owners to easily link to posts and pages within their wordpress blog without having to enter the full URL. Use wiki style tags to define a link when writing a post the sites permalink structure is maintained. The wi…

Hi Cohen,
Absolutely great plug-in! What a huge help this will be for me.
I am having a problem with it that I sure hope you can find a fix for. On clicking SAVE, I can no longer view my page content in the Visual mode. It’s then a blank white page. I thought maybe it was Firefox, so tonight I tried it on IE7 and the same thing is happening plus I get an error when the page tries to load in the Admin. Error is:
Out of Memory at line: 2
I have no idea if that helps you or not.
This is happening when first going to the page to edit it if it’s in visual mode, and does the same thing if I try to switch back and forth between visual and html view.

Hello, thank you for making this plugin!
It works very well. I can see the tiny MCE icon in WP 2.6.
I do have a small problem however.. it was working impeccably until I changed the default category name from ‘Uncategorized’ to ‘General’. Now the General category works only intermittently, displaying posts with no rime or reason. Changing the name back doesn’t fix it. The ID is still 1. The rest of the categories seem to work ok, so for now I’m changing all my quotes to the new categories!
Thanks in any case,
Best wishes,
Alexandros

OK! I understood what’s going on
The plugin works fine, but it displays by default the same number of entries as you have set in the blog options, ie 5 or ten posts. Because there is no forward or next behaviour, by default you can only see a few posts at a time.. although pages are all displayed.
How can we remedy this situation??
Any help is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Alexandros

Just thought I’d let you know that I’m no longer having problems w/this. From what I can tell, it seems that there may have been a conflict w/another plugin. I can’t be sure which one either. But if you are having problems like I was, I would suggest you start with deactivating plugs and even deleting them via http://ftp. That may cure your problems.

Hi, your plugin looks great. but when i try to link any phrase or word to any post, it doesnt show any category. It shows No posts found but it shows only pages when i browse. Whenever I try to browse the category from the icon, it shows no post. I am using wordpress 2.6. I hope you yor will help me. Thanks

Hi Cohen,
I am trying to understand if my problem is caused by rb internal links or from TinyMce (or a combination) and TinyMce’s issue with double linebreaks, omitted or added -tags as in the post at http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic.php?id=1561&page
As in that post we have commented out the part that prevents extra linebreaks.
We’re running wp 2.3.3 and I currently experience the problems in Firefox 2.0 (it doesn’t appear to be an issue in IE at all)
What happens is that I have a block with an image, an H3, some text that then finishes off with an internal link. And a lot of other information after this.
Anytime I put my cursor at the end of the line with the internal link, hit return a few times, then switch to code view and then back again, all the information after the internal link is gone.
Anybody experience anything similar?
Also, switching between visual mode and code view a number of times eventually renders a javascript error and the page to freeze.
“Out of memory”, line 67 at plugins/rb-internal-links/tmce/rb-internal-links/editor-plugin.js
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

HI really like this plugin but with the latest version of wordpres it breaks the wysiwyg editor on the write page/post.
any ideas?

@cohen:
i had some problems since upgrading to wordpress 2.6. the linker didn’t find posts anymore. problem was the “numberposts” option of get_posts. afaik the value of -1 to get all posts is new. maybe you should at least release it with this update.
btw du you have any link how to embed the linker icon into normal editor? i dont use the tinymce one.
would be great if you send me a mail, because i cant subscribe to comments

hi!
your plugin is super great! i tried to work with the post tabs plugin but the RB Internal Links doesn’t work inside the tabs… it’s possible for you to see what is wrong?
thanks and good work!

Hi…
I’m using 0.21 and WordPress 2.6.1. Great plugin… except when I click on a category, it only lists ten posts, and I’ve got about 300 in one category.
Any ideas please?

Hi there, are there any news on the Safari issues? It still seems to crash the browser when using the internal links function.
September 8th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
I’d just like to say thanks again for the comments and suggestions. I’d like to implement all of them but doubt I’ll have time. I hope to have a lot more bugs kinked out over the next few days.
If anybody is interested in helping out with the plugins development, just ask!
Also does anyone have any suggestions for making feature requests and bug reports more organised that this list of comments on the blog? A forum seems a little over the top!

Nice plugin, thank you.
Had the problem with the icon not showing up, but at least in my case this was an issue with the server file permissions.
It appears that by default the rb-internal-links plugin maindirectory has eXecute permissions only for User, while eXecute permissions are required for All.
So in short, “chmod a+x rb-internal-links” in the plugin directory fixed the problem. Icon shows up, everything works.

I mean, it only shows some posts to link, I hightlight one text (that’s one title of another post) from my post. Click the button.
I was expecting to see some related posts with that text, but nothing, it only show me like 10 posts, I can’t see or search others.
How that plugin works ?
Thanks.

Really needed this! Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Hey, this would be a great plugin if I could shake that error with tinymce advanced. I’ve been looking around to see if anyone had a solution. What happens is that if RB internal links is active, then you cannot save a post. You get a “do you want to leave this page” warning. Anyway, great idea. I hope someone finds a solution!

I’m having problems with wordpress 2.7 beta 2. Having RB Internal Links active causes problems switching between HTML and Visual tabs on posts and pages. It won’t display the visual tab at all.

Hi,
I am using 2.6 and having the same problem with only showing 10 posts in a category?
Any solution!
November 11th, 2008 at 6:56 am
10 post problem:
I think I found the solution:
wp-admin - Settings - Reading
Blog pages show at most - and increase the number
That way it shows your posts in the category.

Hello,
I need some help in working with this plugin.
I love the concept however I can’t get it to work.
If I add multiple links on the same page or post using the visual button, then only the last is placed on the page or post. If do this in the html screen and hard code the links they all appear.
I have also noticed that when I make my browser window smaller, the visual buttons do not shrink down and they hang out over the wysig editor pane. They will also no longer work when this occurs.
Thanks
George
