Hi
 
MMBase as-is encourages the reuse of content. a news item might be used
in different context (pages), therefore it is usualy not possible for
mmbase to generate links to other internal content. to solve this
problem different aproaches are followed. for every content type you can
create a generic page
/generic/news.jsp
/generic/images.jsp
so that it's possible to link to other pages. In that case the url
object is not used but a news item is "related" to an other news item.
If you want the layout of the news item to be different sometimes you
might want to try and use tree/leafparts
http://www.mmbase.org/docs/reference/taglib/treeinclude.jsp
 
if you modeld the navigation in mmbase you can get the url of a item by
following it's relation to the navigation
 
newsitem->related->newsitem->navigation  |
  ----navigation
 
for the vpro I created a dynamic sitetree that helps to map content to
url and vire-versa.
 
What are you trying to do? it sounds like a lot of advenced features!

        Onderwerp: Using a URL object in construction of a link
        
        

        Greetings!!
        
        
        I have a few urls that are associated with a news items. How I
do use those
        urls in a construction of a link. For example, having a news
headline be
        linkable. <a href="">headline</a>. I know RichText support
something like
        this, which I am using. However, is there a general way to do
this?
