Another tech question

[Hrycaj]

I notice that some people are able to put a logo up and once you click it it takes them to a specific game screen. Guys do it all the time to show the reports when recruiting for an online league. How is that done? I created a game, went to the team page, picked one of the many and went with the option to open in a new tab. I thought I could just copy/paste the link and I would be good. Doesn't work. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any guidance.

If I'm understanding what you're asking, you're looking to do an image link from inside the forum? If so, it's pretty simple:

(url=http://www.path.to.the.page)(img)http://path.to.the.image(/img)(/url)

Note that I had to replace the square brackets [ ] with parenthesis ( ) to get it to show up in that code block.

So, for example, this link:



Is done like this (same note about the parenthesis as above):

(url=http://www.otbaonline.com/OTBA/otbareports/news/html/teams/team_21.html)(img)http://www.otbaonline.com/OTBA/otbareports/news/html/images/team_logos/cheddar_bay_biscuits.png(/img)(/url)

I want to do an image link to inside my solo game. Just like you have it. I clicked your image and it took me to a game page. Though, the more I think about it I may need to have my game on some type of game hosting service to do it. I am going to give your method a shot though. Thanks!

Ah, yeah, you can't link to things that are just stored on your computer. Same goes for the images.

Is there a way to host an individual league online like you have with the multiplayer?

[eriqjaffe]

I'm not sure off-hand what HTML you can generate in a solo league, but you can always enable online league mode and then generate the HTML reports. The league should still function the same way, aside from having to choose a manager when you open it up..

Is there any way to edit text so that it shows as strike through on the forums? I'd like to edit posts but show the old stuff as struck out.

You should be able to use the code "[s]>{param}[/s]"

Let's test it: [S]

<s>stuff that aint valid anymore</s>

Ok, disregard...guess I don't know what I'm doing.

I think it has to be added by the administrators maybe. Ya, HTML code is off, so you have to use BB Code..and if you click on BB Code in the posting rules, on the bottom left of screen, it shows you all the allowed bb codes.

Thanks, I was messing around with some of those codes and had the same issue. Wonder how easy it is for an admin to allow it?

Probably very easy...you'd just have to convince them there's a need for it.
