For Adam - Tips-Techniques

[philip_coggan]

Hi Adam... Do you think it would be possible to add a feature to the Tips-Techniques forum to let us post thumbnails illustrating techniques? A bit like the Workshops facility?

Why not to make a link to existing workshop?

You can describe your technique basing on your photo, for example, with workshops, showing how did you managed the result, like <a href="http://www.trekearth.com/workshop.php?pid=498">Adam did</a> ages ago.

"let us post thumbnails illustrating techniques"

Yes, Darren suggested this a while ago and I will definitely add this in. I was trying to finish the bookstore section, but since this is becoming highly requested, I'll do this within the next couple of days. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Yuricle - it's a pretty good suggestion, except...(shameful secret), I don't know how to create links. How's it done?

Hi Philip,

To add a link you will have to use HTML reference code. Looks something like this for your fuzzy baby

<"a href=http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Cambodia/photo12997.htm>Philip fuzzy baby<"/a>

The example above will give you a link like this

<a href=http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Cambodia/photo12997.htm>Philip fuzzy baby</a>

You will have to remove the double quotes, I have to add them in to prevent T.E. from turning the example to a real link.

Here's another example without the double quotes. ;)
Although not mandatory, for proper html syntax you should surround the URL in double quotes.

&lt;a href="http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/photo12997.htm"&gt;Philip fuzzy baby&lt;/a&gt;

gives us

<a href="http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/photo12997.htm">Philip fuzzy baby</a>

Thien, take a look <a href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com/tutors/&command.html">here</a> to see how I added &lt; and &gt;.

Cool! thanks Mike.
