Linking to the Wall with an Anchor Tag for long pages  (Japan)
Modified By Rodney Joyce  on 5/15/2008 9:44:19 PM)

On PokerDIY the Event/Leagues/Profile and Group detail pages can be very long, so the user has to scroll down quite bit to find the Wall.

 

I wanted to make it slightly easier for the user to get to the Wall, and I generally have a few page-specific actions on the upper right of each page. This is a really simple tweak to help the user if you have big pages and certain modules get "lost" on a page. It can be applied to any page/module but it works really well with the Wall module.

 

I'll use my demo poker event page as an example - open the Settings page for the Wall module on the page. Under "Module Settings", go to "Advanced Settings" and enter this into the "Header" textbox (assuming you want to take them to the top of the Wall where the most recent posts are): (Please note I have had to remove the "<" from the HTML below)

 

 

You can then add this snippet of HTML anywhere on your page to provide a link to take them to the top of the Wall:

 

 

When you click on the link it should now jump directly to the Wall. Really simple HTML, but often we overlook the simple things! You can also see it in action on my Poker League page.

 

"a href="#PokerEventWall">See the Event Wall/a>"


Thanks
Rodney
