Custom Sections

I am trying to add multiple pages to our site, and while I have 33 it will not allow me to add another. Is there a limit? I have tried using many different extensions and no luck.  Thanks

Are you adding them as custom sections because you want them behind security? (ie, making them member only?)  Because otherwise an alternative is just to use the guild wiki and link to the relevant wiki pages ...

Well I don't see guild wiki anymore lol,, Anyway it is not for that, I am working on a codification project for guild rules lol

I don't know why you can't see the guild wiki - perhaps you've just removed it from your active links?  It's definitely there as I have it on my site.  This seems to suggest that you also have that option available to you: https://pegasuscommand.guildlaunch.com/gwiki/?page_name=wiki_home&gid=557369

I don't know what you mean by a "codification project" however, as far as I know, the main reason to use Custom pages is to make them private to your guild members .. yet anything to do with guild rules I'd suggest need to be public so people can see them prior to joining.

Apart from that .. I don't know if there is a limit .. sorry.  All I can do is assume there is, and give alternative suggestions.  Perhaps one of the guys from GL can answer that.

 No problem, thanks for the help.  What I am doing is reorganizing our guild rules to allow drill down to a single rule. So I am making a page for each rule.  There may be easier ways to do this lol, but I don't know how to and make it look the same. 

 The wiki may well be able to do that then.

You simply start typing in the WYSIWYG screen .. like you would here or a forum post, and create links to other pages as you go using double square brackets ie [[general guild rules]] would take you to the general guild rules page (make sure on each page to make a link back to both the "home" and the page prior), then on the general guild rules page you could have one that goes to [[raiding rules]] then on that page you could have drill down further to [[guild raids]] and [[pug raids]] ... or however you want.

You can have a look at ours if you like, although it's not a prime example as we don't use it as much as we used to: http://www.darkwolves.eu/gwiki/index.php?page_name=Wiki_Home&gid=180473

 Poisonenvy is this your site?  I ask because the Guild FAQ pagew is exactly one I'm looking for for our Guild Rules page, and would like to find out how its done

 No.  Pegasus Command was a site linked to the OP, who was asking about getting additional pages on his website.

My website is Dark Wolves .. this is our wiki: http://www.darkwolves.eu/gwiki/?page_name=wiki_home&gid=180473

We do have a FAQ page: http://www.darkwolves.eu/sections/general_info/faq?gid=180473

I suspect that the original poster had problems with number of website pages, because of the way he'd created that page.  I guess there must be a limit to the number of custom pages you can create, so it would have been more ideal for him to use the wiki instead which, as far as I know, has no limit.

 Yes I've been looking at your pages when you linked them on another post.  Your FAQ page is exactly what I'm looking for so will be looking up how to do it later today or tomorrow

You know what, I can't actually remember how to do that page properly.  I made it ages ago.

It is something to do with anchors, and I know how to set part of it, but not the second, using the buttons.  There is an option to link to an anchor .. with a drop down list showing all of the anchors created, but using the standard interface I can't work out how to add a new anchor to the list.

I've just had a massive play with it and this is what I've managed to come up with:

You can create a new anchor by using the insert/edit link button.  In the top box, choose a name for your new anchor with a hash in front so, for example, #test

In the box below, enter whatever you'd want the heading/link to be, for example: How do I insert a picture

Once you've done that, as far as I'm aware, that should have added the new anchor name, test, to the drop down anchor list .. however, it's not doing it.

So the only way I've worked out how to get round it, is editing the actual source code using the <> button.

Then find the section that you want your anchor to link to, and insert the following in front of it: <a name="test"></a>

That will then create an anchor point so that when you click the initial menu item, it will auto-scroll the page to that location.

If you want to create the actual initial anchor link in the source code as well, you can do so like so: <a href="#test">this is a test title linked to a faq</a> where the word after the # is the name of your anchor, and other bit is whatever you want to show on your page as a heading to the linked FAQ.

So basically <a href="#name"> is assigning the anchor a name, and then <a name="test"> is placing the anchor down.  Both have to also "close" with the </a> 

This is obviously a really complicated way of doing things and either I'm missing something really obvious, or something has changed since I created that FAQ, because it seems that currently there is only half the process there. 

Perhaps someone from GL could shed some light?

Hey everyone,

Poison's info is almost correct. In our system, id works and name does not. The only different is instead of doing name="test", do id="test".

<a href="#test">Test</a> This is the button they click.

<a id="test"></a> This is where the user will be scrolled to when the button is clicked.

Okay so the information I got was direct from the source code of my FAQ page, and it works .. this is an example taken directly from the source code of link and target:

<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><a href="#whoarewe">Who are "Dark Wolves"?</a></span></li>

<h2><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><em><a name="whoarewe"></a><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Who are "Dark Wolves"?</span></em></span></h2>

As you can see, it uses a name.  I click on the "who are dark wolves" link, and it takes me direct to the anchor point further down the page.

But my query really, other than that, was mainly how to do it via the actual buttons rather than having to go into source code.  I'm pretty sure that when i originally set up that page, there was a way using the WYSIWYG interface of creating and placing down the anchors.  Obviously part of it is still there, as you can use # in the URL box when creating a new link, to make a source anchor.  There is also still the drop down box listing all of the already created anchors.  Unfortunately though, using the #, although it does part of the job, doesn't add it to the list.  I'm not sure if I'm doing it the wrong way round - I seem to remember previously having to add the anchor at the anchor point first, and THEN creating the link to it, but it's been some time since I did it last. 

Basically .. half of the interface is already there to enable use of anchors, without going into the source code, so it would make sense to have the other half.  I suspect previously there was an "insert" button that had "anchor" as an option?

I understand now! I see what has happened. You can see that Anchors are working in the text editor for forum posts. Use the Anchors button to create anchors, then once created those anchors are listed in the hyperlink function. The Anchors feature is not active in the editor for custom pages. If I had to guess, it got lost in updates over time. In this case, we'll have to get into the code and add this back. I can make a ticket for this and get to it as soon as we can.

In the meantime, while working with custom pages, you can use the method I mentioned
<a href="#test"></a>
<a id="test"></a>

I will also need to look into why it is stripping out name= when manually writing that code and fix that as well.

Ahhh .. that must be what happened.  Yes please do make a ticket and have a look into it, that would be great.  At least I know I wasn't going mad :P  Spent ages trying to work out how the heck I'd done anchors originally - I'm not normally THAT good :P

Stay safe everyone!

The anchors feature has been added back to the custom pages editor!
