i want to make the title of my scriptbox block clickable
i tried putting an html on the title and it works fine when viewing the block but when i go to the manage block page i see the words coming off as shown in my attachment
now i'm asking whether there is a more proper way to do that or this one's just fine?
yes
make 2 blocks
make 1st block html put ur title ok
make 2nd block below it put ur code and hide the title ok
can you post the entire URL you are trying to use? Have you closed the tag?
eg:
<a href="URLHERE">Title</a>

look at my attached picture
I did.. and if you don't close open tags, like < /a>, no spaces.. strange things like that can happen.
I'm not sure if you can insert URLs into the title.. I tried it and it did work.. but the URL vanished when I reopened with the edit button.. but the Title was still there.
After going back to the home page.. the title was linked still.

that's basically what i said...
i used this code
<a href="http://google.com">Clickable Title Testing</a> and the error in the picture shows up
btw in where do you input your code? in the edit block or in the manage block page?
Well, the way I tried was in the block title.. I'm at work and we use IE6.
It may look different in FireFox.
Like I said, I'm not sure block titles have been designed to accept URLs.. if they were, you would likely have a seperate URL text input field like the menu manager.

well i hope they do in the next update... but how do you do that hide block title falguni1 is talking about?
that's a good idea , but what links should we put e.g. to recent posts , birthdays , arcade stats etc ?
huh? i dont get what you're saying
anyways i solved my problem with the help of falguni1's post
silly me... i didnt see the dont use title on the block edit
i meant that the whole idea of linking the titles of the blocks looked nice , but i wouldn't know where to link the titles of "recent posts" , "birthdays" and "arcade stats" !
i think they are already linked...
just checked (again) , they are not !
my bad... only stats, user and shoutbox are the ones with links
but seeing the 2nd post of this thread it could be easily done that way...
Dear Neorics,
I am glad that I was able to solve your problem.
i know , but what are the actual links for those ?

It's not on the agenda to be included as far as I know.. and I've not seen it discussed between the testers.
But, it's not ruled out that it could be included.

"recent posts", "birthdays" and "arcade stats" !
if you are asking for those then i guess you have to make a custom template for them and make a custom action either by coding it your self or using a custom action mod
or more easily just use an article and enable php scripting on that article and copy and paste or make the templates there
