Add a link to News 2 Years, 7 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi Bart,

How are you?
I'm trying to add a new message in 'Latest News' for everybody to read that the yearbook 07 is online.

The yearbook is under Extras - Download - General - Yearbook 07. I want to add a link directly to the download section in my News message.

But when I try to add a link to the message my browser jams and shuts down. I clicked on the icon saying 'Link' thinking this would allow me to add a link to the download section of this website.

Hopefully you can explain to me how I can do this.

Thanks and all the best.

Cheers

Step one: create a new content item
Step two: Insert a link to the item that I already uploaded for you in the "Download\Upload component". You do this by clicking the icon from the editor toolbar with small letter link in the icon.

Once the popup window opens to guide you through the process of linking to the right file you select the "GENERAL" folder. Once you have selected that you can select the pdf file.

Step three: click insert.
Now there should be a link in your news article that you were editing to the file that was uploaded in the "Download\Upload component".

When you save the newly created article it will be reviewed (possibly edited) and published in teh right section.

ONce that has happened you will be notified as author of the new news item. You can then allert others that there is a new item that they might want to read.

If you think it would be helpful to improve the help documentation you can let the current IHM class know. They are looking for ways to improve the website...

Personal help like this from me is nice but I have less and less time to do this..

Hi Paul I noticed you had created a new news item, but your link to the PDF file does not work.

Was there something not correct with the instructions I provided? If so please let me know where things went wrong. What specific instruction did not work as it was supposed to.

Looking forward to seeing you fix the link so I can publish the item.
