Title: Hyperlinks to Discussion Forum
Post by: mark.myers on August 13, 2007, 11:00:02 pm

I'm posting this in case it may be of interest to others.

I have just discovered (by trial) that you can set a hyperlink to the discussion forum - this is not documented, at least  not that I could find.

Set the hyperlink address to "$forum://"

I have yet to try a hyperlink to a specific topic but will post if I work it out.

It would be a great facility if you can confirm it!

The forum link currently only opens the forum, not a specific topic or post.

Pretty please?

Opening just the forum is less than we really need...

Thanks, Roy, saves me trying to figure out how to get it to work :)

Ditto for me. Given that it opens the forum anyway then navigating to a specific topic shouldn't be too hard - he says in ignorance - in the same way the relationship matrix can open a specific profile. I notice that on a topic you can "Copy path to clipboard" which looks something like "category::topic" - what can you do with the path when you have it, ie what is the point of this?

Mark.

Hopefully, Mark has pointed the way.

Forthed, heartily!
