Posting Links
How can I post a URL and have that text link to that URL? Same question: How can I post a picture and attach a link to that picture so when folks click on it theyre taken to a specific post or webpage?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Posting Links
Well I thought I had but nope. What Im looking for is the little chain link that you click and then enter a URL when youre attaching an image so that clicking on that image opens the link. Know what I mean?
Its late and Ive been at this for far too long today. :?

Re: Posting Links
To add text to the url link, do this:
Attachment properties for images are within ACP GG? Was that what you wanted to know? or are you meaning something else?
Code: Select all
[url=THE URL] The TEXT [/url]

Hi LDM, I figured out how to do the text linking but what I mean is: I want to be able to post a picture in a thread, and have that picture link to an external link like a new webpage.LDM wrote:To add text to the url link, do this:

Ive been all through the ACP for attachment settings and dont see anything there that would change this or make it work.
On some other forums Ive seen a little chain link icon that a person can click and add the linking URL.
I need some way for my members to be able to do it easily.

Hmm, I think I know what you are talking about. I always use Highslide on boards, it opens on an overlay window. In fact, it's going to be on the next ModphpBB3 cause I think its superb!
Edit: Found the link and demo

Re: Posting Links
Wow, that is very cool!! And no, its not what Im talking about hehehe. Here we go again!
What I want is like a banner link.....you know, I post a banner which links to that persons page. Or I post a flyer of a biker rally and want folks to click on the picture and have a new window open up the rallies website.
Im attaching an example (well Im going to try anyways) of what I mean by the little chain link I use on other forums.
Thanks so much again LDM. That next script of yours is going to be the best thing going on the net!

Yes, thats exactly what Im looking for, but any way to put that command into an icon for members to click on? My members arent exaclty code savvy if you know what I mean hehehehe. For right now though it is the perfect solution for me to use with banners and event flyers. Thank you!LDM wrote:Try this with the tags
