Hello!

I noticed that someone built an add on to WYGWAM that allows you to link to channel entries (http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/wygwam-entries), which would be super useful for my business since we are always linking to older stories.  Are there any plans to do something similiar for WYVERN?  I would be more than glad to pay for this!!

Hi there! Wyvern actually has this as a native feature a year or so before WYGWAM did. The interface is different, but you can link to Structure pages, or a template_group/template based URL.

OH thats awesome! I will buy/install it now and check that out. Thanks for the response.

Do you think it will have any performance issues for a site with over 10,000 entries? The WYGWAM module forces you to select the entry via drop down, which doesnt work well with such a large amount. I noticed that WYVERN has a search bar, which would be better.

It loads the page via ajax, so it might take a second to load. I’ve used it on sites with a 7000+ entries before.

Hey BM,

I installed it and I cant seem to figure out how to link to an entry. If I go to url and then template path nothing seems to show up. Am I doing it wrong? I want it to search for an entry and then return the entry url along with the template path I determine. Does it not do this?

I’m curious about this as well.

If you’re using the template to link to an entry you will have to manually enter the url_title. It doesn’t query all entries.

OK then this isnt what I am looking for.
