Linking to a Section's Anchor
Can I automatically include the Anchors generated from my Section Ids into the Site.xml so that I can hyberlink to the middle of a page?
Im trying to find a workaround for issue FOR-95. My real problem is that I generate 1,000s of recursive sections all having unique ids based on information from a database. Its impractical for me to manually code all of them in the site.xml. I was wondering if I could leverage the <tocitems> that contain all of the ids? Or, any other suggestions...

I've unsuccessfully tried the TOC with location=menu, but it didn't provide
me a way to resolve the hyperlinks -- unless I did something wrong. My
problem isn't having a user navigate to the middle of a page, I need to
hyperlink to the anchor.

Would it be enough to use the existing auto-generated TOC mechanism[1],
and assign them to a SECTION/SECTION/TITLE? That way, (if skinconf.xml
is set up correctly, again[1]) it will automatically generate the
links. You can then place the TOC in either the Site Nav on the left,
or the Top of the content section or both.
HTH!
