How do I make this link executable?
banneroftruth.org/pages/articles/article_detail.php?739
What I would like to learn is how to make the above link not only exectuable, but also not show the whole "go" line but instead say something like Banner of Truth or article.
Kim,
The answer to that question can be found in the FAQ section here:
FAQ: "Can I use html in my posts?"I'll also show you how here. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
In the following examples, I will use the "code" tags to show how the string looks otherwise the tags themselves won't be displayed. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
So, on this Board there are actually "3" ways to create a clickable link:
1) Simply type or copy/paste the URL into your message. It will be automatically converted to a clickable link, e.g.,
http://www.the-highway.com 2) Making the URL (address) clickable by using the UBB Code tags:
[url]http://www.the-highway.com[/url]
The result will look exactly like #1 example above:
http://www.the-highway.com 3) Hiding the actual URL and making an alternate Title/Name clickable:
[url=http://www.the-highway.com]Home Page[/url]
With this option, only the Text will be displayed but clicking it will take you to the hidden URL (address). So it would look like this:
Home PageAll three methods require that you include
http://www. in the address. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
