We need some features added to the SimplyLinks component and plugin for Joomla 1.5. The current version works fine, but requires some manual editing and is missing a feature we consider key...to that end, we want the following added/modified:
1) When selecting an article for an internal or glossary link, use a "selection button" instead of having to provide the article number. This should work like many other linking routines in Joomla where a box appears with a list of articles that can be selected from--and the list can be filtered by section, category, or keyword.
2) Add parameter field to admin panel of plugin to modify line 24 of [login to view URL] to change the number of "times". This controls whether the plugin converts only the first instance of a keyword to a link versus converting all instances of a link.
3) Add a component parameter to control whether or not a "link graphic" appears next to each auto-generated link. This is currently set via the style sheet in the component. Will be acceptable to simply provide a "Use graphics with links? Y/N" type of question and switch between style sheets.
4) Minor edit: change label "Description" in admin interface to "Description (HREF Title Attribute Contents)"
5) Minor edit: change label "Category" to "Link Type"
6) Repackage component and plugin to be a single zip file that will install both pieces at the same time, correctly and in accordance with Joomla 1.5 standards.
