Topic: How to place links to WebBoard-Messages (1 of 6), Read 85 times, 1 File Attachment Conf: WebBoard - How to use it From: Christian Ziemski Date: Friday, September 12, 2003 02:34 AM Since the topic "placing links to messages" came up recently I tried to summarize some infos about it. (You can also see the infos when pointing on a conference or on a message in your browser.) Example link: http://.../read?13652,29 The "13652" is the number of the message and "29" is the conference number. If you are getting messages via mailing list, you can see the message number in the mail footer: Example: To reply: mailto:vedit-macros.13652@... Together with the following (and attached due to formatting) list you can build a link without going online to the web interface: "vedit-macros" is number "29" and so the link is: http://.../read?13652,29 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Overview about the conferences in VEDIT's WebBoard: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 45 == WebBoard - How to use it == mailto:vedit-webboard-howto@... 46 == Test Area == mailto:vedit-test@... 26 == VEDIT Sales and Info == mailto:vedit-info@... 27 == VEDIT Technical Support == mailto:vedit-support@... 31 == Installation, Configuration == mailto:vtech-install-config@... 32 == Startup, File Open, Exit == mailto:vtech-startup-exit@... 43 == Basic editing, Block operations == mailto:vtech-basic@... 33 == Search and Replace == mailto:vtech-search-replace@... 34 == Keyboard, keystroke macros == mailto:vtech-keystroke@... 35 == Printing, Word processing == mailto:vtech-print-wp@... 36 == Program develop.,Color syntax == mailto:vtech-progdev@... 37 == Compiler support == mailto:vtech-compile@... 38 == Hex, Binary, EBCDIC == mailto:vtech-hex-ebcdic@... 39 == Converting, Translating == mailto:vtech-convert@... 40 == Wildfile, Other macros == mailto:vtech-macros@... 41 == Error messages, Crashes == mailto:vtech-crash-error@... 47 == Hints, tips, shortcuts == mailto:vtech-tips@... 42 == Other, General, etc. == mailto:vtech-other@... 28 == VEDIT Suggestions == mailto:vedit-suggest@... 84 == VEDIT User Applications == mailto:vedit-userapps@... 29 == VEDIT Macro Library == mailto:vedit-macros@... 30 == VEDIT Macro Language Support == mailto:vedit-macro-language@... 48 == Classified Ads == mailto:vedit-classifieds@... 49 == Other (Not related to VEDIT) == mailto:vedit-other@... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian

Topic: How to place links to WebBoard-Messages (2 of 6), Read 88 times Conf: WebBoard - How to use it From: Peter Rejto Date: Friday, September 12, 2003 11:30 PM Thanks Christian, I tried your Example link to 13625?29 and it worked fine. I would like to save it to my computer as read13625?29.html but could not. I had various difficulties. I treated the first one by replacing the ? character by _. The second difficulty was that I could not find the number. In fact in my Netscape 7.0 I got a restore frames message. I know by trial and error that I have to save it as a frame and not as a page. After restoring the frames I could still not find the number. Am I missing something? Thanks, -peter.

Pressing the "Guest" button entered WebBoard, but then the link was lost. I will experiment some more. If this is the case, then including links in the errata.txt file or on the website would be useless. I have two programmers that are very experienced creating web-based control panels using SQL (MySQL and MSSQL). My brother Phil said he could create a reasonable user forum in less than one week. We may do that. Ted.

Mayby Webboard can be setup up to grant a free *reading* access? Otherwise, why not simply tell your readers that they have lo login to webboard first before the links are active? Or, even simplier, create the link list as the first "conference" on Webboard and tell the readers of errata.txt and / or your homepage to look up an overview on useful user contributions there. This "conference" would also be the right place for links to "fan pages" like Christian's, Pauli's and Scott Lambert's. Fritz

You are welcome to try and set it up if you can. Ted.

Specifically, I have a Juno account in addition to my university account. I tried the address .../read?4219,37 and it worked fine. Note, however, that at first I have added .html and that did not work. Incidentally, I found the previous address to be a fascinating discussion of the ideas that lead to LATEX.VCS. I have added it to my copy of LATEX.VCS. Looking forward to hearing the reactions of other vedit users to my little experiment. P.S. I also got an extra dividend. I am using Internet Explorer from my Juno account. I also got the message "Restore frames". I know from Netscape that in order to save a readxxxx.html file I have to use "frames". In short, I do not know how to set up frames in explorer. Thanks, -peter.
