Creating links within posts
Hi, I've looked all over the forum but I can't seem to find a solution or anyone with a similar problem. I'd like to create links within the posts, for example a long post and have an index at the top of it with links to parts of the same post. I've tried using html coding like this:
but when I publish the post it doesn't work.
Help please?
- Code:
<a name=#help>Help</a>
then <a href=#help>Click for help</a>
but when I publish the post it doesn't work.
Help please?

Re: Creating links within posts
Yes it's activated for the whole forum. So I would have to first write the whole post then edit the anchors?
What I'm trying to make is like an index (or a table of contents) at the beginning of a very long post with different sections then when people click on the words it takes them to that part of the post, not to another page.
Thanks for the fast reply

If it is in the same post, the first code I posted will send you to it.
For Example:

Re: Creating links within posts
Oh thank you! And how do I make it go to like the middle of the post? do i have to put a link on a word or something? I'm sorry I'm new at this and I've been reading html tutorials all day to figure this out.

There is a known issue with the text editor that when you try to add BBCode after writing your message that it adds it at the end. You need to add it when you are typing the message.

Re: Creating links within posts
I believe that I misunderstand your last post. Are you trying to add links in a post the will link to the same post?

Re: Creating links within posts
You can do that with html. Its a form of "bookmarking".
You do it like this:
Add this to the end of the URL of the page you want them to read and be directed to:
Example:
Then add this code to the wherever on that page and in the post you want them to go, it will place them at this bookmarked place on that page when they click the link above. It can be a different page or the same page, it doesn't matter, the link above when clicked will put them at any page and at this bookmarked place on that page:
You do it like this:
Add this to the end of the URL of the page you want them to read and be directed to:
- Code:
#bookmark1"
Example:
- Code:
<a href="http://help.forumotion.com/t93820-general-rules#bookmark1">Click Here</a>
Then add this code to the wherever on that page and in the post you want them to go, it will place them at this bookmarked place on that page when they click the link above. It can be a different page or the same page, it doesn't matter, the link above when clicked will put them at any page and at this bookmarked place on that page:
- Code:
<a name="bookmark1"></a>

Re: Creating links within posts
But I do that and when I post the topic even though I click on the word it doesn't redirect me I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Does it work even if it's inside a table? Because I'd been making the index as a table, could that be it?

It will work anywhere, you must be doing it wrong, so post the link to the topic and I'll make the code for you and post it here.
Re: Creating links within posts
