Link to Page in H&M

Unread post by Linda Polinski »

We are getting ready to go live with H&M. My testers are asking how they can send a link to a particular page to another user. For example, they are assisting a new employee, and want them to see a process on a particular page. Our H&M is setup with a URL that never changes based on what page you are looking at. The link to the url is always the home page. Is there a way to direct a user to a particular page? Thanks so much.

Hi Linda,

Depending on which type of skin you are using and your settings, links to individual topic pages look like this:

Code: Select all

  http://something.com/index.html?some_topic.htm

  http://something.com/some_topic.htm

  http://something.com/some_topic.html
Where some_topic is the Topic ID (which you can see in the Topic Options tab in the editor), lower-cased.

Martin.

Hi Linda,

Further to Martin's information, the index.html?topic.htm syntax applies for all skins and templates except the new V3 Responsive skins in Premium Pack 3. You can learn about this standard syntax here:

The V3 Responsive skins use a new, simpler syntax. You can learn about that here:

Hi Tim,

Shouldn't that be .htm by default?

regards,

Martin.
