need a bit of help here
26 Jan 2009
Hey All,
I'm trying to create a facility for my users to post interesting links to our company website. The behaviour I'm looking for is:
1. User posts custom title for the link and the URL into a custom piece of content "Interesting Link" (created with CCK)
2. Using views, a list of these titles is outputted to a block - the
titles are only displayed and linked to the page specified in the HREF
3. A site view can browse this list and go to any of the links displayed by clicking on it (the link then opens in a new window)
This should be simple to do, but for the life of me, I can't see a
way to it - especially the linking of the title and the custom field of
the url.
Any ideas anybody?
Thanks!
link module
Are you using the link module? I'm pretty sure you can just create links (title, href and optional target for new window) with that module and then use views to create a block populated with the fields.
The link module just adds a field type to CCK, so you would have to add link fields to a content type.
EDIT: views and cck tutorial - this guy covers adding links to a content type and using them in a view, but he uses the whole node instead of just the link fields as the view content.
