How do I create a link?

When you add an URL (like http://www.example.com) to the body or side text of a Page Viewbook will convert it to a link automatically.

If you want to manually create a link use the following Textile code:

"Link text":http://www.yoursiteadress.com

 

Note: Read more about formatting options here.

How do I create the link by simply clicking on a menu at the top of my site, like Blog or Twitter.

Hi,

How do I get rid of the underline below my link text when I put a link into the side text bar?

To put simply, you can't. However you can use this HTML:  <a href="http://www.cnn.com" style="text-decoration:none;">link text</a>

Is there a way to make an image in a collection (say on my home page) a link to an album page?

Hi Julien, 

Yes there is.  If you select your collection page in the image manager you will see several tabs above the editing area.  One of those tabs says thumbnails.  Click it, and one of the options you will see is "open albums fullscreen," or something like that.  Click it, and album pages will open up when you click the thumbnails.

Best,
Jim

If I want to add a link to my email - just with the word 'email me' do I put the following in the hyperlink window or do I just put the html code directly in the body?

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com">Send email</a>

Ahha Just figure it out. To link and email address to some text -

Type text to link e.g. "email me"

highlight text and select hyperlink button in editor

type 'mailto:someone@example.com' into the text box.

works for me.
