Make it easier to add documents to pages

As a content designer
I need to insert a document at a specific point on a page and give it custom link text

@dedavidson has been working on a fix for this

[dedavidson]

The fix for this is to add config to modules/localgov_media/config/optional/linkit.linkit_profile.default.yml the localgov_core project. ( https://github.com/localgovdrupal/localgov_core/blob/2.x/modules/localgov_media/config/optional/linkit.linkit_profile.default.yml )

It requires adding the following config to the matchers section:

  <a uuid>:
    id: 'entity:media'
    uuid: <a uuid>
    settings:
      metadata: ''
      bundles:
        document: document
      group_by_bundle: false
      substitution_type: media
      limit: 100
    weight: 0

How would this fix then work for an editor?

Hi @SarahQ83

If you are familiar with how the LinkIt module works, we would just be extending that to allow linking to documents as well as other pages on the website. At the moment, LinkIt only searches for other pages on the site.

If you are not familiar with LinkIt, it's a module that helps with creating links in a wysiwyg editor. It allows us to search for a piece of content to link to, and then insert that link in the wysiwyg. Crucially, if the URL for the link ever changes, you do not need to go back to where you added the link in the wysiwyg as LinkIt will automatically update all references to the link.

Hi @markconroy that sounds simple enough, thanks
