Linking from Actinic to an external site

[abi rhodes]

Hi,

I have search through the forums but cannot find the answer to my question!! How do I link from my actinic site to another site external to it? Eg if I wanted to have a 'links' page?

Is it possible in Actinic Catalog V8?

Cheers
Abi

Let us know your search terms, perhaps we can help you to use better ones in the future, this must have been discussed 100 times at least.

The "usual" solution is to use the description field of a product or the text area of a fragment and use :

!!<<a href="http://www.site.com">link to site</a>>!!

.. this is regular HTML but wrapped between !!< and >!! so Actinic knows to show it as HTML and not as plain text. Any HTML code can be added in this way.

You can also use the [LINK] feature to similar effect.
