Linking to a single tip
Posted: Fri May 9, 2008 05:39 PM UTC
If you have several tips in a category, say To Do, for a location, how can you make a link to just a single tip in the list? How can you find the web address?

Linking to a single tip

There are a few ways but if you click on "Send to a Friend" from the specific tip, and send it to yourself, you get the link url :-))

We must get this FAQ in the help section.

There are 2 more ways:
- Using keywords search for unique title text
- Getting the magical hexa-decimal number when you point your mouse at tip Edit

The "magic number" method only works for your own tips though doesn't it?

This is something I've always wondered about so thanks for the information. I'll give it a go as I want to make a link on my Hamburg page to a tip on my Prague page.

Agree with you PJ, I think this would be useful to have in the FAQ section.

Cheers

The problem with hyperlinks in your tips is that they work if people go through your pages starting at your travel map; not when you start from a location.

"..if you click on "Send to a Friend" from the specific tip, and send it to yourself, you get the link url.."

Pam -> You're smart!! I never would have thought of doing that. I was using the "keyword search" method.
