<p>Cross-site links are constructed using the Site URL. Can you
edit the Site you are linking to and verify that it has the correct
Site URL? Assuming it does, once published, your page should
contain a link pointing to this URL.</p>
<p>Let me know what you find.<br></p></div>Timtag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-14T20:12:16Z2010-12-14T20:12:16Zcross site internal linking<div><p>The following is what happens:<br>
1) Edit page content and highlight area to link and select link (on
the tinymce editor)<br>
2) Select internal, link to page in another site within cascade<br>
3) link shows up as <code>href="/othersite.url.com/page"</code><br>
4) submit page, then preview in cms... looks fine, link goes to
other site page<br>
5) publish, review it out online... the link is pointing to
url.com/page instead of othersite.url.com/page</p>
<p>The site does have the correct url. Am I missing something
else?</p></div>Jefftag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-21T17:37:21Z2010-12-21T17:37:21Zcross site internal linking<div><p>I am sorry but I need a tad bit more information.</p>
<p>What version of Cascade are you running? What is the Site URL
within your Site Management area of your other site that you are
trying to link to? Also, what is the name of your Site that you are
trying to Cross Site Link to?</p>
<p>Your url should look like the following in Cascade
Site://SiteName/path/to/page when you click on HTML view on the
WYSIWYG. In the Link editor it should appear like
SiteName:path/to/page.</p></div>Pennytag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-21T19:15:13Z2010-12-21T19:15:13Zcross site internal linking<div><p>Cascade v.6.7.1</p>
<p>Trying to add a link on <a href=
"http://sub.site.com/about">http://sub.site.com/about</a> that goes
to another site inside the cms that is located at <a href=
"http://www.site.com/map">http://www.site.com/map</a>.</p>
<p>Problem that happens is that when the <a href=
"http://sub.site.com/about">http://sub.site.com/about</a> page is
published the link that is suppose to go the <a href=
"http://www.site.com/map">www.site.com/map</a> ends up actually
going to sub.site.com/map</p>
<p>In the WYSIWYG, html mode, the link created shows up as
href='site.com/map'<br>
(site.com is the name of the site in the cms)</p></div>Jefftag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-22T15:33:43Z2010-12-22T15:33:43Zcross site internal linking<div><p>Can you go to the Site Management pane and give me the Site URL

<p>I am trying to replicate your issue on my 6.7.1 version of
Cascade but I am not getting the same issues as you. There is an
issue that was fixed in 6.7.1, but that had more to do with
External Linking. Here is that <a href=
"http://issues.hannonhill.com/browse/CSI-53">bug</a>.</p>
<p>I am not totally convinced that it is the same issue you are
experiencing but if it is, the issue will be corrected with an
upgrade.</p>
<p>I am including some screen shots of what happens when I
cross-site link.<br>
The first is what I see in my embed link editor popup from the
WYSIWYG. It is important to note that even if it is a cross-site
link, it is still considered an internal link (you mentioned it was
earlier).<br>
The second is what I see when I click on the HTML button on the
WYSIWYG.<br>
The third shows that I can not save my Site in the Site Management
area without the URL being filled in.</p>
<p>I am sorry if some of this information is redundant.<br></p>
<p>If you get me the Site URL that you have filled into each site
and also let me know if you are filling this link into a Data
Definition WYSIWYG or the default WYSIWYG, I will be happy to try
to make my instance as close to yours for replicating purposes.</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p></div>Pennytag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-30T19:26:20Z2010-12-30T19:26:20Zcross site internal linking<div><p>Attached are some snaps. In order of inserting the link,
verifying the link is correct, and then what the link looks like
when published.</p></div>Jefftag:help-archives.hannonhill.com,2010-02-09:Comment/42517022010-12-30T20:19:30Z2010-12-30T20:19:30Zcross site internal linking<div><p>The screen shots are a great help. Thank you! I see what you are
saying now.</p>
<p>I think the main confusion came from me thinking that you were
linking across Sites within Cascade. Assuming that you meant the
Cascade term, Site. I see that you are in the Global area and
actually linking to another page within a different folder within
the Global area. That different folder being your site container.
The Global area is different from what I was describing
earlier.</p>
<p>I do not think that what you are trying to do is possible within
the Global area. That is part of the reason that Sites in Cascade
were created, so that users could manage multiple Sites and link
across them. Here is a great article about sites: <a href=
"http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Sites/">http://www.hannonhill.com/kb/Sites/</a>.
I think in the Global area, you have to make an external link to
where the page will end up being published.</p>
<p>Please let me know if you have any other questions.</p></div>Penny
