In Drupal 7 how do I add an anchor tag to a path alias menu link

Question

I created a node in drupal 7 and given it a url path alias of 'testing'. When I try to create a menu item that links to the path alias with an anchor, it throws an error

If I do node/1#this it works, but again not with a url path alias.

Is there a work around?

Answer 1

You can add the full url with the anchor tag. Not the best for deployment but a work around.

Answer 2

I found adding the page path without it's alias would validate the form.

For example: "node/1#top"

Although, I now have an .active-trail and .active class issue on the menu item/link.

Answer 3

This works for me:

function phptemplate_url_outbound_alter(&$path, &$options, $original_path) {
    $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($original_path);
    $url = parse_url($alias);

    if (isset($url['fragment'])){
        //set path without the fragment
        $path = $url['path'];

        //prevent URL from re-aliasing
        $options['alias'] = TRUE;

        //set fragment
        $options['fragment'] = $url['fragment'];
    }
}

In search for an answer for my colleague I found a gist.

You guys can try it out.
