Who is it written for? [ править ]

Introduction [ править ]

One of the key features of documents on the web that they can have links to other web sites, making any one web page part of a large network which extends beyond the text on the screen — thus the term hypertext. Links are also used to navigate within a Web site and even within the same page.

There are two main options:-

1. A link within the current site to another article or menu
2. A link to a page on another website, that is to say an external website

A link to a menu within the current web site [ править ]

The menu and article details will vary from site to site and the detail depends on the editor used.

Using a simple editor You need to know the address of the menu or article that you want to link. The best way to do this is:-

• Open the menu/artilce you want to link to.
• Copy (Ctrl-c does this) the address in full from the top of the browser screen.

If you have sample data on a localhost web site, link something to the Menu ‘More about Joomla!

• Open an article for editing
• Highlight the words to appear as an underlined link in the finished page
• Click the «Insert/edit link» icon (a chain which became active when text is selected)

This opens a dialogue box

• Link URL:Paste the URL of the part of the website you want to link.
• Target: choose ‘Open link in a new window’
• Press Update

When the article is saved — check that the link works.

Another editor Some editors allow for choosing menus and articles within the current web site, as the illustration shows.

The initial process is the same:-

• Open an article for editing
• Highlight the words to appear as an underlined link in the finished page
• Click the «Insert/edit link» icon (a chain which became active when text is selected)

This opens a dialogue box. To choose the right menu:-

• Click the + next to Menu
• Click the + next to Main Menu

Find the menu that you want to link.

• Click the + next to that menu

This shows all the options below that menu item.

• Highlight the one you want to use

To open it in a new window (rather than in the same page):-

• Click Target — there is a list of choices.
• Choose Open in New Window

Finally — to insert the link —

• Click on the Insert button

A link to an external Web site [ править ]

You need to know the address of the page you want to link. The best way to do this is:-

• Open the page you want to link to.
• Copy (Ctrl-c does this) the address in full from the top of the browser screen

In your article:-

• Enter the text to be linked if it is not there already. (This is what appears as an underlined link in the finished page.)
• Highlight the text to be linked
• Click the «Insert/edit link» icon (a chain which becomes active when text is selected — in the bottom row of icons)

This opens the dialogue box

• Paste in the address of the destination page in the Link URL box (Ctrl-v)

To open in a new window (rather than in the same page) — this is often helpful for external sites:-

• Click Target — there is a list of choices.
• Choose Open in New Window

Finally — to insert the link —

• Click on the Insert button
