Does Mahara support HTML anchors?

For example, if I what to create a link from one view that will locate a specific piece of info. half way down the page of another view.

Can Mahara do this?

Thanx

It seems mahara strip out the #link part so it does not work.

I tested here. http://mahara.org/view/view.php?id=33185

<a name="link1">Link 1</a>

becomes

<p><a>Link 1</a></p>

That's a shame, I wonder why?

Thanks for your reply.

It is something to do with TinyMCE init.

I think it is possilble to change it by hacking script code.

I asked it here. http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=24988

Let's see. It should be easy to fix it.

It seems that text box takes out href attribute from a tag and I think it could be intetional. But it is strange. I will add to a bug report. Links in the forum works fine.

Ok, I found a solution for this.

Please have a look at this, http://eportfolios.skagerak.org/view/view.php?id=167 and click link 1,2,3 or link 4. This works to other text box block as well, like link3 and 4.

The way I did are followings.

Open lib/web.php and around line 2484, find this

// Permit embedding contents from other sites
    $config->set('HTML.SafeEmbed', true);
    $config->set('HTML.SafeObject', true);
    $config->set('Output.FlashCompat', true);

Add the followings after these lines.

    // adding ID
    $config->set('Attr.EnableID', true);

Then it should work by now.

I am assuming you have access to codes, may be through FTP, or using terminal.

Cheers.

Thanks for sharing your solution with us.

I have implemented the "Namespace IDs" solution described here:
