Can the user set the ID name for on page anchor tags?

User wants to be able to click a sub nav and go to a specific section on a page using anchor tags. To do this, they need to set the URL in the link to go to, e.g. #jobs, and the ID of that section needs to match. Can the user set the ID in Perch admin?

Hi Danny, yes it is possible.

To start with the template can automatically add the id, for instance, like this:

<section id="<perch:content id="text" type="text" label="Heading" title="true" urlify="true" />">
    <h2><perch:content id="text" type="text" label="Heading" title="true" /></h2>
    <perch:content id="text" type="textarea" label="Text" html="true" editor="redactor" />
</section>

With this template Perch will set the ID to be a 'urlified' version of the heading. e.g. Heading: Where to Find Us would be used as an ID of where-to-find-us.

Ah, I was missing the Urlify. Thanks, Simon.
