I would like to see more "Useful Links" added to the home page. Right now I have only room for 10. I can use them to connect my Tribal Pages site to some very interesting stories and documents, as well as books I have made, that are posted on Wikitree. This way, the material can be available to those visiting Tribal Pages without taking up actual space on Tribal Pages. If you click on the links which I now have on my home page on Tribal Pages you will see how I have used these links in this way already; but, I have much more that I could make available in this way.

Hi Dee, why not NAME the bottom one of these 10 LINKS

MORE LINKS and LINK to one of your STORY PAGES.

Then in this STORY PAGE you can put as many LINKS as you wish

See my LINK SITE BELOW FOR HOW TO DO THIS.

Now anyone only has to CLICK on your MORE LIKS to see the extra ones. Thes can TOTAL from just a FEW to as many as you wish.

You can make these a Photo LINK to make it more intersting.

You can also put this MORE LINKS on yor HOME PAGE ABOUT as a Photo LINK.

If you are undecided how to do this, my e-mail address is in the Related Link below.

Hope that I have been of some help.

Regards

Hi Dee I mentioned that you can put the LINKS with a Photo on your HOME PAGE.

Here is the code to do this enter your STORY ADDRESS whre the XXXXXX are. In your story just create LINKS as you would without a photograph ( or with if you wish)

<center>

<a

href="XXXXXXXXXXXX"><img border="0"

src="http://vyepar.tribalpages.com/tpphotos/photos/vyepar_6286232.jpg"

></a></center>

Try it on my PAGE BELOW This takes you to another LINK that in your case would be your STORY PAGE with all your EXTRA LINKS

Hi Dee , this is what it would look like on your SITE by your other LINKS, or you can use just the TEXT under the RED OR, to LINK to a STORY PAGE with as many LINKS as you wish

All the best

Les

So simple to do

Thank you all so much for all of your replies. As soon as I get a chance I will start experimenting to see if I can do it. (Dee)

I totally agree on this. There needs to be additional link lines added. AND hyperlinks for notes too would be GREAT!

Thanks for your support. I thank everyone for their suggestions on how to program it, too; but, I think it should be a part of the template because not all people understand or want to learn how to write html. I figure if ten lines were included to begin with, more could be added.

Hi Dee, I have just put this in answer to one of this Forum entry.

There is nothing to learn in HTML for such a simple request.

Regards

Les

Hi Sunny, it cannot be any more Simple than this

Copy and Paste into NOTES TO TEST

<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/"> GO TO GOOGLE HTPPS</a>

Enter your Address to where you want to go XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

and then PUT your Own TEXT where ****************

<a href="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"> *********</a>

Also as I pointed out earlier put all your extra Links into a Story and add this Link to one of TPs 10.

Surely Members can modify their Sites to suit their Needs.

Have a look at my Helpful site to see what can be done without asking TP. This LINK is in Related Link below

Sorry, Les, but your brain and mine do not run on the same wave lengths. I am not a techie and this stuff does nothing but confuse me. I will wait for the site to come up with something. I know it can be done because I once had a site on another server that had the exact same thing with unlimited spaces for links. Right now I am adding in to stories some things I had on another now defunct site, so I am in no hurry. But, I will also point out that it would look much nicer on the story pages if the photos were shown in a larger size, with a choice on where to place them on the page, rather than as thumbnails which visitors have to click on in order to see them in the larger size. I am assuming that "Feature Request" was started in order to get feedback about things such as this and develop new features rather than work arounds.

So, it seems that you put whatever link you want in between < and >, right? But, I do not want to show the address. Instead, I would like to show a link that has a title, like on yours, something like "Photo of the Schoolhouse" and does not show the address. How would you do that? By the way, I was going to say, yeah, 8 yrs old, RIGHT! I am 70.

Hi Dee, try this in yours or someones NOTEs ( YOU CAN DELETE afterwards)

You will only see the Address in the Notes as you enter, but in te proper Notes you will only see the LINK

Photo of the Schoolhouse which will take you to your site as I have put this as the Address

COPY and PASTE

<a href="http://tamingthetree.tribalpages.com/"> Photo of the Schoolhouse</a>

As I have pointed out, there is nothing hard in doing this, as long as you take your time.

I took off 80 years so easily.

All the best

What if I put a title where you have the photo of the

school house? Like for instance, I typed in there "Artistry of Elizabeth C. Whitteker"? Would the link then be operative if a visitor clicked on "Artistry of Elizabeth C. Whitteker"?

I have a story already written at this address complete with

photos of pieces of the found artwork:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Artistry_of_Elizabeth_C._Whitteker

So, what I would like to do is use it in that way. You know, make it so that they will only see a link which says "Artistry of Elizabeth C. Whitteker" instead of the address. In this way, I would not even be using up space

on Tribal Pages to even show the photos. Check out the

address link and you will see what I mean. I have about

another 35 links like this on wikitree already.

Thanks so much! I will try it today. This was the real probblem.....I didn't know what the special characters were that you put in the beginning and the end. Other sites that I use have different ones. For instance, wikitree uses "[" and"]"........then, for the title of the link to show up, you just skip a space before typing it in. I would have never

figured it out. Thanks.

Les,

Okay! I did it. Check it out. Only had to remove " and ? from the title of the link and it is perfect. I should have said "Good Morning from Sebring, Florida, USA!" Guess I was just too focused on the problem. All better now. Thanks to you. Dee

I did just finish looking at this link:

http://vyepar.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=vyepar&view=78&ver=3300&storyid=61628

Was this the link you meant? I had a time figuring out how

to go back and find that thread again and this was the first

link I found. I think it is very helpful. I was looking at

the stuff you had about how to put the story photographs in order by numbering them. I found out that they also will show up in alphabetical order, so, I used that method after I figured it out. At the time, I was wondering if numbering them would also do it; but, I didn't try that. I plan to check out everything you have on that link. I'm sure I will find more useful things. Thanks. Dee

Yes Dee, thanks for looking at it.

Using the Alphabet you are limited to 26 unless you then use Aa or Ab or A1 and so on.

So using numerical is easier.
