Title: Links in main area
Post by: CrystalTears on August 29, 2006, 05:42:16 PM
I wasn't even sure how to ask this, so I wasn't sure how to find it through search. I'm a complete blockhead sometimes. :D

I was curious how you can get links that you create in the blocks to show up the information in the main area.

I have a WoW site and would like to post links of the dkp and roster but would like them to show up in the center area rather than a new window. Is there a way to do that or am I missing an option somewhere?

Help appreciated. Thanks. :)

Ah so it's not a simple thing and would need knowledge of php coding and create a php page with the info?

Depends on how you want it to look.
You can make a page and use the editor, that way it's pretty much just place the images where you want them, and add the text and links where you want them to show.
Single frontpagepage article :)

Okay, not really something I was hoping for. I was curious how to get external link information to show up in the main area. Guess it can't be done. Fine by me, less work. :D

Thanks.

Do a search for iframe CrystalTears and you'll find some info on that.

The editor have a lot of diffrent tools for you to use, you can make links in that to, both to internal and external sites.

eg if you want to link to this site, you write "TinyPortal" mark the word, choose hyperlink and in the frame that pops up you type in the full url to the site, check the boxes to how the site is going to open, own frame, own page or same page etc. very easy to use and you can really make pro look with it :)

If your trying to make offsite material appear within your site. YOu have to use an HTML "iframe". That's the only way...

As G6/Ichbin suggestioned, create a HTML article and make your iframe. If you have the php script of how it is displayed, you may can get it to display in a php article on your site without using an iframe. Which would be better, but it is unlikely that you can do that.

There are a few hundred posts in here on how to do that, so i suggest you do a little search as IchBin said.

You are an expert in helpfulness, Mrs G.
She sure is! But if people actually used search around here we wouldn't have the opportunity to be so helpful.....

Im not a waitress that serves children in here. Im support, and a guide, There is no reason to write another tutorial on how to do things, when it is posted over 200 times already.
I know a lot of you are somewhat ellergic to the search funktion, but im not a nurse or Doctor eather, so take your "chill pill" and be happy with the support given ;)

It honestly depends on how you search, and thus was my original problem or I wouldn't have posted another thread, so my apologies. If you're not in the main forum, the search won't really work, and I'm used to searches going through the entire forum by default, not just the one you happen to be in at the time.

There is the "advanced" search there to, gives you more options to find what you are looking for and where you want the actuall search to be performed :)

Actually, you are quite correct. I'm glad you pointed that out. I've noticed a lot of times things are not found unless you do an advanced search either. SMF search function needs a tune up IMO.
