Making clickable links

You can easily make clickable links within your site or to other sites on the internet.

Links within your site should look like this:

/section/page

Links to other sites should look like this (i.e., they must be prefixed with "http://"):

http://www.othersite.co.nz/secti...

Links to emails should look like this (i.e., they must be prefixed with "mailto:"):

mailto:someone@somewhere.co.nz

To place a link in your content:

1. Login to the CMS
2. Create a new article or edit the article you wish to work on
3. In the main content area of the article, highlight the text you would like to use as the clickable link
4. Click the insert/edit link button in the toolbar (looks like a chain-link)
5. In the popup dialog, you can specify the URL
   1. If linking internally, you would put just /section/page
   2. If linking externally, you would put http://www.externallink.co.nz/etc
      1. If you are linking externally, it's often a good idea to specify the target as Open Link in New Window. This means, when your users click the link, it will open in a new window so when they're finished browsing and close the window, they return to your site.
6. It's a good idea to give your link a title.
7. Click Insert
8. Finish editing the content of your page
9. Click Save Article
