I saw that some of you can make clickable words...
For example I say "Mishka" and I click on the word and it leads me to her bio.How do you guys do that?Thank you!
That's a link! To make a link, you can type <a href="URL">Link name</a>
The URL is the link to the bio. When you go to your character's bio page, just copy the text in the address bar at the top of your screen. It should look like this: http://endlessforest.org/community/between-two-fire-walls-mishka039s-biography. Paste it in between the two quotation marks " "
Then type whatever you want to appear as the clickable words for the link name. You can say "Click here!" and it will look like this: Click here!
The link to this thread is seen up there, in the URL bar. See the little bit where it says "endlessforest.org", and then some other stuff after it? Yep. That's the URL of the page you're currently on.
Click on this and copypaste it into a field - for example, the space to code your signature for the site. When you save your signature now, it'll automatically create a hyperlink (the fancy word for a clickable word that takes you to a different page).
To make your own hyperlink with your own text, you can do two things. You can use HTML, the stuff we use to make biographies pretty, or BBcode, simple code that makes text BIG or italic or blue!
(I'll go through BBcode with you now, but if you want to learn the HTML way to do it, just yell.)
What we need to do is type this thing, without the spaces between the square brackets.
[ url=http://endlessforest.org/community/between-two-fire-walls-mishka039s-biography ]Mishka[ /url ]
The spaces are there to confuse the site and stop it from making just the hyperlink! It's just so I can show you what we need to do.
The "[url=" part means: "Hey TEFc! I have a URL for you, and this is the link. Right here." After the equals sign, we need to put a full URL. I've already put Mishka's bio link in the code up there ^^
Once we've written all this:
[ url=http://endlessforest.org/community/between-two-fire-walls-mishka039s-biography ]
We need to tell the site what we want our text to say! What we do now is simply put "Mishka" after that last square bracket, like so:
[ url=http://endlessforest.org/community/between-two-fire-walls-mishka039s-biography ]Mishka
Now, hang on a minute. This code isn't working! What we need to do last of all is put in a closing tag. This tag is like a full stop (period) for code. It tells whatever is reading the code that the "sentence" has ended, and it can move on to something else! The closing tag we need is [ /url ], without the spaces, and once we add that to the end of Mishka's name, it looks like this:
Make sure there are no spaces between the square brackets. You can have spaces when you write in the space where "Mishka" is, but if you put spaces in between the tags, it'll stop the code from working.
I hope this helped you! <3
Edit: Heck, Aquilo beat me to it with the HTML version. But now you have both methods! Enjoy experimenting.
