I have figured out how to link on the message boards to the Pathfinder SRD, and I've figured out how to link to a certain spot on long pages in the SRD, but these work inconsistently.
I think that is has to do with linking to the same page multiple times, but different spots on the page. Sometimes it leaps to the bottom of the page instead of the phrase I want when I've already clicked a link on the same page. Is there a BBCode that will reset the page history with each click and avoid this problem? Would a BBCode that opens the link in a new tab or window fix this?
Also, sometimes the SRD will link to the phrase I want and leave the search bar at the top which covers up the info I want. And I've also had the search bar scroll up with the page and disappear. Does this have to do with my browser? I'm using Crome on a Mac. Is there a fix for this with BBCodes other than linking to a phrase that appears above what I want to read?
Really, any help or additional BBCodes used to link to the SRD or other sites would be helpful. Thanks.
We have it on our to do list to make a feature that will enable linking to specific parts of PRD pages a bit better, but it's gotten a bit farther down. In the meantime, the page anchors you're linking to may showing under the header because they are missing an underscore in the URL. For example http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/pagename.html#whatever will show under the header, but http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/pagename.html#_whatever will show properly. We updated the links to page anchors to this format some time ago.
That works. Better anyway.
And there needs to be hyphens between the words in the "go-to" section, right? Or is it underscores it prefers?
So there is no way to get a page to reset if a link goes there after a previously link has gone there? The browser history will just always screw this up and there is currently no fix? Is that right?
Are there any other BBCode secrets you can tip me to?
Thanks a bunch, by the way.
