[LegacyUG] Web pages - linking to another set of pages
I currently have pedigree style web pages stored on my ISP server. I link to them from a home page on Geocities which recently announced that free web hosting will be ending this summer. From my current home page, I also link to a set of pedigree pages for an unconnected people database. These are people that I have found with the same surnames and locations as people definitely connected to me. Because Geocities is going away, I want the index.html of my main family database to be my main website page but I'd like to place a link on it to the unconnected pages. Can a link be coded in the web pages setup in Legacy or do I have to manually add the html hyperlink tags after the pages are created? Does this make sense?

If I understand you correctly, you can put the link in the Introduction area on the Project tab (V6). If you want it to appear on every page, you could place it in a Custom Header/Footer on the Links tab. -- Dennis Kowallek (LTools) http://zippersoftware.com/ltools http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ltools Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp

RE: [LegacyUG] Web pages - linking to another set of pages
Mary, You can include it in the index page created by Legacy either at the top of the page or the end, using the Links tab in Create Web pages. This would put it on *every* page, so probably only the end one would be of use. Or near the top of the index page by including it in the box in the Project tab, or near the contact name and address by including it in the other box on the same screen. I would suggest that you tag a small number of individuals (say one family) and have a play using the options. Personally, I would hand-code it into the index page, in order to have absolute control over where I want it. After all it is only one page!

RE: [LegacyUG] Web pages - linking to another set of pages
Dennis and Ron, Thanks for your suggestions. I'll give it a try. I have to sign off now but I'll be back later. I know that I have another web question pertaining to the display of certain characters, such as bullets and foreign letters with accents (like an umlaut).

RE: [LegacyUG] Web pages - linking to another set of pages
Yup, that's still true in V7, Dennis. I guess that since the links in the web pages do not affect the creation of reports it was thought OK to transfer them as is. Having said that, as we both know Legacy doesn't always ignore what is between the double chevrons in the reports!
