Adding Links With The Text Editor

This allows you to link to other sites, pages of your site or documents from the resource library .

The Link List Module also offers the ability to add a quick list of links, but these instructions apply if you want to include a link as part of a paragraph.

First highlight the text or image in your formatted text which you wish to use as the link.

URL

the Address or file that you want to link to. If linking to a file in the resource library, a typical URL would be: /docs/example-doc.pdf.


Text to Display

The text label you see when you hover over the link with your mouse.


Title

The name/title of the link.


Open link in...

Choose whether to open the link in the same browser window or a new one. For links to pages on the same site you should use 'current window'. For links that are going to external sites select new window.


Link List

Lists all of the pages on your website - you can pick a page from here instead of adding a URL.


Once you have added the required details click OK and then on Save Text at the bottom of the original form, if you have finished editing the text area.

If linking to an internal page pick the page you would like to link to from the Link list dropdown instead and leave the Url field empty.

If linking to another website add the Url (the address for the site) into the Url field, making sure to include the prefix, which is usually http://www.

If linking to an email simply copy the email address you want to link to and paste it into the Url field. A pop-up will appear and ask if you would like to add the mailto prefix - click OK

If linking to a document go to the resource library and find the document that you want to link to. Copy the file name (highlight and Ctrl+C) including the file extension (eg .docx or .pdf). You then need to type the folder path into the Url field, starting with /docs . So if you are linking to a file in the main documents folder, you would type something like /docs/example-doc.pdf. If you are linking to a file which has been added to a folder within the document library, would would need to put the folder name too, eg /docs/my-folder/example-doc.pdf.
