Dynamic Links in Content

Hi,

I've got an interesting problem to try and solve, which is more a CKEditor problem rather than Kentico, but curious whether anyone has ever achieved this. The website is a version 9.0.18 application, but I don't think that would have a bearing on the problem.

The website scenario is:

• There are about 6,000 pages (documents) - most of them standard content pages, although a large percentage are custom pages (documents) that do not have standard CKEditor WYSIWYG content areas.
• The standard content pages are grouped under 8 level-1 pages, drilling down in some sections to a maximum of level-4.
• About 2/3 of those standard content pages are not displayed on the menu. They are accessed by links that have been entered into content areas on pages - so that means about 1,000 pages (or more) have "hard-coded" links to various pages. By "hard-coded" I mean that content editors (4 content editors) have inserted them by clicking the Insert/Edit Link button on the toolbar and navigating to the relevant page to insert the link. So, for example, the html in the content area for a link would be "/[Section-title]/[Perhaps-a-Second-Level-Title]/[this-is-the-page-that-is-linked]"
• There are approximately 40 "Member" roles, with approximately 1,500 users each assigned to their individual "Member" role.
• Access permissions are assigned to the various Member roles at the page level.
• Not all member roles have access to all pages - the member roles have access to usually only a small sub-set of all the pages (documents).

Managing the content of the site and the content permissions has become extremely cumbersome and inefficient for the content editors, and so the site tree is being reconfigured as follows:

• A folder is created at Level-1 in the name of the Member role. Let's call it "Icecreams-by-Ivy". Inside that folder a sub-set of ONLY the pages (documents) that the particular role has access to are created as LINKED pages (shortcuts to the actual page).
• A special "Home" page created as a new page, with the Page URL Path setup (using my "Icreams..." example section) as "/icreams-by-ivy".
• Access permission for the relevant "icreams-by-ivy" role is assigned at the Folder level, with all pages below that inheriting from the parent. That is the only role that is assigned permission to access that section of the site.
• Members will then access their section of the site by going to https://[site-name]/icreams-by-ivy

Any links that have been created by code within *.cs files are all working perfectly.

HOWEVER, the problem is the links inserted into the content areas will send the user back to the ORIGINAL page, rather than to its linked page within the relevant section.

I've been able to amend all the relevant menus (in c#) by testing for the base path like:

    string sBaseNode = "";
    string parentPath = "/" + DocumentContext.CurrentAliasPath.Split('/')[1];
    if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(parentPath))
    {
        CMS.DocumentEngine.TreeNode node = null;
        UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo("administrator");
        CMS.DocumentEngine.TreeProvider tree = new TreeProvider(ui);
        node = tree.SelectSingleNode(SiteContext.CurrentSiteName, parentPath, "en-au");
        if (node != null)
        {
            bool bFolder = node.IsFolder();
            if (bFolder)
            {
                sBaseNode = node.NodeAliasPath;
            }
        }
    }
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sBaseNode))
    {
        this.Cmslistmenu1.Path = sBaseNode + "/%";
        this.lnkHome.HRef = sBaseNode + "/";
    }
    else
    {
        this.Cmslistmenu1.Path = "/%";
        this.lnkHome.HRef = "/";
    }
    this.Cmslistmenu1.ReloadData();

SO ....

Has anyone got any ideas on how I can achieve similar functionality for links inserted directly into content areas? ie, if the page is a linked page within a member-folder, the link in the content area will be prefixed by the section title - eg: "/icecreams-by-ivy/".
