component links are not working as expected

Question

Component links in my page are redirecting to same page.

I have a page and have a component link that will redirect to other section of the same page.

I am using the following method to

componentLink.getLinkAsString(fromPage, this.componentUri.getValue(ctx), 
                                    componentTemplateUriValue, linkAttributesValue,
                                    linkTextValue, showTextOnFailValue);

The actual method call is

componentLink.getLinkAsString(tcm:58-7895-64, tcm:58-13021, 
tcm:0-0-0, title="ABCD" xmlns:tridion="http://www.tridion.com/ContentManager/5.0", click here, true);

I am geting the hyperlink as

<a href="/pathtosamepage.html" title="ABCD" xmlns:tridion="http://www.tridion.com/ContentManager/5.0">click here</a>

I am expecting as

<a href="#sectionofthepage" title="ABCD" xmlns:tridion="http://www.tridion.com/ContentManager/5.0">click here</a>

1. I was getting the expected output before the page is republished.
2. The source of the both versions of the page is same but behaviour is different.

There are also other pages with the links and they are working fine. I am not sure whether they will work fine after publishing.

Can some guide me how to fix this.

I am using Tridion 20011 sp1.

Answer 1

i recently wrote a blog post on anchor topic. it talks about Out of the box and custom anchors.

Answer 2

If you are looking to add anchor links to generated dynamic link URLs this post gives you good examples of how to achieve that.

To my knowledge this information is never stored in the broker by default so if you previously had this information stored in the broker it must have been done using some kind of deployer extension. The only information added by the built-in webcontrols or API functions would be the ordinal position of the component presentation on the page so you would end up with something like

/pathtosomepage.html#2

but never with

/pathtosomepage.html#somecustomanchorname
