I'm still having problems with hyperlink. I'am trying to link page to page. What HTTP or ULR name should I use and where do I find it. I’m real new at this, so it’s probably in front of my face. Thanks for the help if you can help send me the reply to excellentcreditservice******.com |

In that case, supposing that your domain name is www.yourdomainname.com the Url for linking to, f.e., page2 of your site, is " http://www.yourdomainname.com/page2.html " . If you don't have a domain name (and account) you can't link anything exept other peoples, existing URLs.

I can't figure out how to get an ftp hyperlink to work. The files I'm linking to are Word docs. I've followed video tutorial directions for uploading them, so far as I know. In Blue FTP, I created a New Folder and uploaded the docs to them, and they're appearing where they should (so far as I can tell) in the BlueFTP window. But when I go to Insert Hyperlink, I have no idea how to identify these files in the URL window following the ftp:// I tried out multiple variations with the name of the file, and the hyperlink appears to be created. But when I try to open the link on my Mac, I get an error message that I don't have permission to view the page. On my Windows machine, I get the 'page cannot be displayed' page. Can anyone help? mcnora |

No, do not use the ftp:// link, use the normal http://www.yourdomain.com/foldername/filename.doc type of link. Files OUTSIDE the public_html are not accessible by the public (only by the site administrator or an authorised FTP user) using either FTP or File Manager.

Hey Malcom, try downloading BV-8 one more time. I won't delete the pages you've built, but it will provide any new updates you pc might need. If that doesn't work, then try renaming your pages (even if it's the same name). Just delete what you have as the url and retype. Thirdly, don't look for the link to happen in BV. The link will take place as you preview or publish. I hope this helps solve your problem. |

Musicman, I renamed all of my page files and also downloaded BV8 again. I didn't republish but noticed that I can now link two of the pages for one shot only fom the preview screen. That's the equivelant of the browser isn't it? Oh yes, and I can also link a third page but it *******tes the Index page in it's place. Is that confusing enough or what? My synapsis seemed to be snapped. Is it the way I have hyperlinked? Actually, as the Link buttons are grayed out on the top of each page I am a bit confused as to how to change the hyperlinks anyway. Have I completely kaiboshed things by uploading my public file in the Control Panel? Oh where is my IT department when I need them?? It would be music to me ears if you had another trick up your sleeve... Thanks, Malcolm M |

And correct, VodaHost cannot tell you why they don't exist (they don't exist infact as you have them in your menu bar.) i simply found the error because i've seen this mistake too many times and i can guess and try, but VH staff cannot lose 15 or 20 minutes trying to guess.

Navaldesign, Ok, I have opened up each page and followed your instructions changing each Navigation button description and page name and file name to match uniformly, saved exactly as suggested for this so called hyperlink... caps, spaces, everything. I saved each page and published each page individually. (Index wouldn't go to lower case for the I, so I left it in Upper) After this I went to the Control panel under file manager and uploaded the newly saved pages. I didn't touch FTP or PHP?? I don't understand this. Something is not flowing through or I am working in the wrong screen or something. I have repeated this process numerous times. I need a drink, maybe two. I have also reloaded BV8 recently. I reset my page settings through my button panel because my "Link" button on the top is still "grayed out". I saved and published each renamed and revised page via the File drop down. I also checked each hyperlink on the page beyond what is in the Navigaton panel. Could multiple links on the same page be conflicting? Is there supposed to be a forward slash after the www.toughworld.net on the Index page? Also, why will all of the other pages revise to save as lower case but the Index page only save as "Index"? Could this be contributing to the problem? I have never filled in the "Target" field in any of the pages. Could this be why they don't upload? Did I miss something in the tutorials? I'm fishing here hoping I will hit on something or you will recognize the problem. In the meantime I continue to request feedback and suggestions. I don't know what to look for next. Everyone please be clear in telling me where togo on the page in order to make any suggested pages? Thanks. I need the hand holding at this point. I appreciate it. Ideas please? Cheers, Malcolm M. |

Ok. you have done excactly the contrary of what i suggested. F.e., your needaspeaker page, was published excactly as: "needaspeaker" and it was working because there were no blank spaces between the words, and the link in your menubar was http://www.toughworld.net/needaspeaker.html Now you have left the link in the menubar as it was, but you deleted the page and published it as "need a speaker". Indeed, click on http://www.toughworld.net/need%20a%20speaker.html to see your page. Do not touch your menubar. Open the page in BV, save it as "needaspeaker" and publish it. Let's go to the rest of your pages: book excerpt: the link in the menubar is http://www.toughworld.net/bookexcerpt.html but the page is http://www.toughworld.net/book%20excerpt.html I remind you that the %20 means a blank space. Open the page in bv, save it as "bookexcerpt" and publish it. Please note that in some page menubar (like in your index page) the link in the menu bar is completely wrong as it is "book exerpt" -- "c" -- missing. Book order: the link is http://www.toughworld.net/bookorder.html in the menubar, but the page iotself is http://www.toughworld.net/book%20excerpt.html . Also here the link in your index page is completely wrong: it is set up as http://www.toughworld.net whish sends back to the index page itself. Anyway: correct the link to be http://www.toughworld.net/bookexcerpt.html in all menubars, opn the page as "bookorder" and republish it. Newsletter: the link in your menubar is http://www.toughworld.net/ezine.html but the page nesletter is saved as http://www.toughworld.net/newsletter.html How can it ever come up ? Also i found this link (????) in one of your menu buttons, http://www.locallinc.com/needaspeaker.html as well as this one in your book orders page menu bar: http://www.toughworld.net/www.toughw...ookorders.html Please understand that page names and links must be excactly the same otherwise it will not work.

Yippeee, I am dancing in the streets!!!! (from a sitting position, this is actually quite remarkable) My pages are finally linking and I think I actually even know where I became twisted around. Ok everyone with techie savvy, never assume that the newbie is differentiating between the BV "Save" file and the Navigation buttons or Link screen when it comes to saving and linking and caps and spaces. The tutorials talk about blank spaces and capital letters and confuse the hell out of you (alright, me). For my part, I was concerned that my Buttons would not have Caps on the words and I thought that by putting caps on the button descriptions, I also had to put caps on the rest to make it work. In a nutshell... you can ONLY put Capital letters and Spaces, in the Navigation Button Descriptons ... nowhere else. The Navigation URL's and Links must be consistent with the BV File name. In my case I deleted all spaces and caps. So I dove you crazy for a few weeks. Stay tuned ... I'll be back!! Cheers, hope this is of value to someone out there! Malcolm |

You don't need to delete the old version. Simply publishing the updated version od the page, will overwrite the exixting one. If, anyway, you still need to delete it, connect with FTP, select the file you want to delete and press DEL (or, ususally, right click, Delete)

The site I published to test is drycond.com A quick navigation with all the fixed menu buttons appears OK, but switching between the home page and sub pages keeps creating new home pages. By the time I have clicked a few buttons, I need to close 10 "home pages" to exit the site. I did something fundamentally bizzare...and I cant figure it out. I just want to be able to click the back arrow to get back to the home page or click on the logo header to get back to the homepage. Sorry If this problem is miscatergorized. I do not know if this is a hyperlinking problem or what. Thanks for your help. R. Allen |

Because your links are made with Target set to _blank. Leave the target field empty.

The tutorial explains everything. Please provide a link to your home page at least, so we can check the rest of your links directly.

Aloha from Maui!! So far this has been the easiest Web Builder I've tried. I have my index page (home) and two album pages filled with photographs. My first question of (I'm sure) many to come is: does every photo have to have a URL link to the page it's on? What about nav buttons? Oh yeah....is there a particular size, pixel dimension, resolution that works best for publishing photos to the web? Sorry for all the questions |

Hi, can anyone help me with hyperlinking within a page. I have no problem linking pages but what I want to do on a specific page is use a text menu at the top with a number of choices which link to specific paragraphs of text within that page - a quicker way to navigate that having to scroll down to the relevant paragraph. Can't seem to find how to do it - thanks. |

Hi guys. I am incredibly new at this too, but I think I am catching on. Rematkably, I have understood a lot of what I have just read from all your posts! However, I have a problem that I just don't know what to do about. Why is my preview page so different from my original page as far as font or spacing goes? Could it be something to do with my page properties and the size of my original page is not the same as my preview page? I hace tried previous suggestions given to me as far as increasing the size of the text box and making sure I have common font, but that doesn't work. My original page is beautifully set out and spaced and then my preview page is just all wrong and doesn't look balanced. What am I doing wrong? Also can someone tell me if I am allowed to build a site with Blue Voda and host it with someone else or do I have to host it with Blue Voda? |
|
#51
| ||||
| ||||
|
Yes, you need to host it with VodaHost, it is clearly stated in the download page. Your problem has to do (probaly) with using non web friedly fonts, or with embeding in the page some third party script that affects formating. However, without seeing, i can't tell.

You have to highlight something first (text, an image, etc.) for the process of linking to initiate: the logic is Q: "which item is to be linked?" A: "the highlighted one"... Have you reviewed the Hyperlinking Tutorial?? |
