I couldn’t think what else to name this thread.
Ok… in regular HTML, you can use links that go to particularly named elements. So you could have a link like http://somesite.com/welcome.php#section_one, and then somewhere in welcome.php you’d have an element with an id=”section_one” — that way the page jumps down to that particular section. Just like here, where you can click “jump to last post” and voila.
Things like that would be useful for posts like our FAQ sections, or other such threads where we need things broken down into sections with a few navigation links at the top. (see the AIM FAQ sticky for an example). Instead of having separate posts for each section, is there a way in vbcode to do this?
July 21, 2006 at 6:03 am #148498shifterMemberI’ve asked this before – ages upon ages ago – for the FAQ posts, but there didn’t seem to be a way at the time. Perhaps somethings changed since then, but I actually prefer my new way of handling FAQs by creating a post (or copying members great answer posts and moving them) in the FAQ with a link at the top to the post. This gives members some props for great answers, is easy for my Team members to make additions to, and is nice and clean and usable with the click of a link!

It isn’t the best way, I know, because it isn’t as easy and also bumps your postcount more, but it works.Clint
July 21, 2006 at 12:17 pm #148499TigerbladeParticipant.Clint … that’s how we currently do things like the FAQ pages, with a separate post for each section. That’s what I was trying to avoid. I thought it might be cleaner to do it this way instead.
shifter … I suppose it does make it easier to do those things with separate posts. Meh. I’m just old-fashioned I guess.
July 21, 2006 at 10:54 pm #148497Jeff HesterKeymasterTigerblade and Shifter: The plan is to move the FAQs out of the forums and into the CMS, possibly beginning in August. At that time, we can do pretty much whatever we need to, including bookmarks (the “#” stuff).
