TOPIC:

Create project list/links in your signature 12 years 5 months ago #3145

I was asked how to put a list of projects in a forum signature like mine, so here goes:

Log in (if you're not already logged in) & navigate to your profile - there are several ways to get there:




Hover over the "Edit" button & select "Update Your Profile":




Select the "Forum Entries" tab:




And enter the required text (more on that later) in the "Your board signature" area & click "Update":



& the text/links will appear at the foot of each of your forum posts, both existing and future.





Your need to collect the web addresses of all the threads you want to link to, and come up with a brief title, for example my list would be:
My Projects: 

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2199&Itemid=78
Cheetah wreck restoration

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2403&Itemid=78
Volvo 850 & Metro 6R4

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2285&Itemid=78
Grasshopper re-re build

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1939&Itemid=78
Bigwig rebuild/reshell

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1780&Itemid=78
Monster Beetle rebuild/repaint

http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1680&Itemid=78
Sand Rover restoration


Forum code for links needs to be:
[url=web_address]link_text[/url]

So you need to put the
[url=
]

and
[/url]

in the right places, for example:
My Projects: 

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2199&Itemid=78]Cheetah wreck restoration[/url]

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2403&Itemid=78]Volvo 850 & Metro 6R4[/url]

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2285&Itemid=78]Grasshopper re-re build[/url]

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1939&Itemid=78]Bigwig rebuild/reshell[/url]

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1780&Itemid=78]Monster Beetle rebuild/repaint[/url]

[url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1680&Itemid=78]Sand Rover restoration[/url]

The above will produce a vertical list, to save a bit of space, remove all unneccessary spaces & line breaks, you might also want to put some dividers in there - I used elipses (...) in mine:

My Projects: [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2199&Itemid=78]Cheetah wreck restoration[/url] ... [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2403&Itemid=78]Volvo 850 & Metro 6R4[/url] ... [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=2285&Itemid=78]Grasshopper re-re build[/url] ... [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1939&Itemid=78]Bigwig rebuild/reshell[/url] ... [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1780&Itemid=78]Monster Beetle rebuild/repaint[/url] ... [url=http://www.tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=10&id=1680&Itemid=78]Sand Rover restoration[/url]

Which will look something like:

My Projects: Cheetah wreck restoration ... Volvo 850 & Metro 6R4 ... Grasshopper re-re build ... Bigwig rebuild/reshell ... Monster Beetle rebuild/repaint ... Sand Rover restoration

If I may add one thing... Tamiyabase can also create the codes for you. :huh:

Open an extra window in your browser and go to a topic section on the Tamiyabase forum.
Click the button "new topic" there - this will show the window for a new first post.
Using the option circled in red on the picture will give you the opportunity to create the code you are looking for.

Fill in the page you want to link to at "URL" and at "Text" the name you want to give it.
Then press "Insert" and the code will appear in the editing window.
This can be copied and pasted to your forum signature. Handy for putting several links up at a time...


Just don't end the window with "Submit" but close it...
Of course this feature can also be used to make links in your regular messages look spot on. ;)
