Ideal feature: article linking

An amazing feature for me would be the ability to set up a system where as I am writing an article I could say type a word and it would be converted to a hyperlink to an article eg. if I write FRED it would be converted to a link to Fred's biography....

Could this be done with a custom replaceable tags system?

Any help very much appreciated.

Well when you make a new article you can see the ID off the article...If you know that ID it is easy to insert a link to the article...

use this:

[ID integer]string[/ID]
This creates a HTML link to an article with ID (integer). String represents the text that is linked. Sample: [ID 4]read this[/ID]

But it could be cool if you could press a bottom and then get at list of articles on your site and then when pressing on a article there is easyly inserted a link...

Many thanks for that. It's time consuming - like you said it would be great if Oliver could integrate it..... maybe he / someone else could explain where he makes his {TAGS} and we could manually add a few....

Thanks again! Loving the product!

yes i agree, that this would be a very useful function: automatic keyword linking.

I currently have lots of articles on my wmcs, and inter-linking them using [id ] will simply take too much time :/
