Guest Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I know how to create new files and code them in the info boxes and the filenames.php, but how do you reference a website? I am going to be creating a new info box called "Sponsors," and I want to add links that go outside of our website, such as www.yournamehere.com. How would I reference an outside link? It's got to be pretty easy to do, but I haven't seen any notes on it. Thanks for the help! Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcad Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Just a suggestion and maybe not relivent but how about using the manufactures box and just creat a new box called links or something like that. Links would be in a pull down type menu. Hum! Might be kinda cool that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil_e_n Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Just <a href="outside link">Our Sponsors</a>. The reason you need to use tep_href_link within the website is to keep the session/SSL/whatever. If you're leaving the website, that doesn't matter and you can just use a normal link. If you're going to be updating/changing it a lot, I'd suggest adding a table to your database with the URL/link text/any image you might be using and coding it with a query to display the contents of the table and making it updateable from the admin, but that does take more initial effort. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question? Always BACK UP your files and your database before making any changes. Before asking questions, check out the Knowledge Base.
