footnotes's Issues

Duplicate/Incorrect Footnote Numbers

There seems to be some conflict when the actual footnote content is similar (or at least starts with similar content).

See the attached screenshot showing what the numbering should be:

I've also included the key below:

The page you can find this on is here:

I'm running the latest release of Craft (2.6.2974) and Footnotes.

Any ideas what is going on?

Will this plugin get GraphQL support? [FR]

What are you trying to do?

We love all the functionality here, but we have a headless site where it'd be great to pass through the footnote links via GraphQL

What's your proposed solution?

Implement GraphQL support

Accessibility Recommendations

What are you trying to do?

When in use on a client website, accessibility audits are flagging the interactivity of the footnote <sup> elements.

What's your proposed solution?

The audit tool is requesting either using an alternative markup or making them more accessible to screen readers via a tabindex attribute. Is this possible to add?

html tags in footnotes

Hi Vierbeuter, Thanks for providing the plugin!

I have a question regarding the rendering of the footnotes. My client wants to have <a href="#">, <em> and <strong> in the notes. Is this possible somehow or maybe a planned feature? Thanks!

… and sorry for disturbing – solved by adding a raw filter {{ footnote | raw }}. All good 😄

Fix changelog for Craft Plugin Store

As of release 2.2.0 the changelog parser of the Craft Plugin Store can't read the plugin's changelog file. Some invalid formatting or such stuff is going on which I couldn't figure out up to now.

By the releases 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 I tried to fix that but unfortunately it didn't work. Now I am a bit stuck. … This one is freaking me out. 🙀

If anyone reading this right now knows what to do please feel invited to tell me. 😽

Missing settings?

Hey seems like the templates folder is missing?

Support for CKEditor

What are you trying to do?

With P&T now focusing support on CKEditor rather than Redactor would it be possible to see this being compatible with this plugin as well?

What's your proposed solution?

Support Footnotes with the P&T CKEditor plugin https://plugins.craftcms.com/ckeditor?craft4

Links in footnote

Love this plugin. Very neat. Id like to include active href links in the sup foot note - but these are stripped out in the footnote loop
{% for number, footnote in footnotes() %}

Further suggestions

1. Be nice if we could access the settings in the template to to detect if 'Enable anchor links" is switched on so an optional back button can be included.
2. Although we can smooth scroll up ('back') be nice to have a class on the link created to target smooth scroll down to footnotes

Existing footnotes content displayed incorrectly after craft 2 to 3 migration.

After the migration to craft 3 i noticed that the output already existing footnotes are not displayed correctly. The anchor link are in the setting enabled.
The footnote content is not displayed and generated as anchor link (and numeration list at the end of the text), it is only within the sup-tag (without the anchor) in the text flow.

Matrix fields?

Is there a way to make this work when the footnote is added a Matrix field? I'm not sure what the syntax would be for the line that converts footnotes into numbers without repeating it for every Matrix block:

{{ entry.handle_of_redactorfield | footnotes }}

[FR] Craft 4 Compatibility

The CraftCMS 4 pre-upgrade check says this plugin is "not ready" — do you have plans to upgrade this to work with Craft 4?

Cf. https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/extend/updating-plugins.html#rector

Footnote button icon looks the same as Redactor's superscript

The footnotes button from the plugin page's screenshot:

Looks the same or very similar to the one for superscript (built-in option for Redactor):

https://imperavi.com/redactor/examples/buttons/add-sup-and-sub-buttons/

I think they should look different from each other. Some people might want footnotes and superscript buttons, and they'd be hard to tell apart.

Can the footnotes filter also add an anchor link?

Would be nice if the footnotes added something more like this

<sup><a href="#footnote1">1</a></sup>

so that it would link downo the the footnotes at the bottom of the article?

Migrate plugin to Craft 3.x

The plugin needs to be migrated so that it can be installed and used in a Craft 3.x installation.
