Problem with external links

Hi All,
Love using xoops, but am frustrated by one thing: I am trying to make my own html pages (using either Content module or waku). All I want is to have an external link (i.e., the href = ... syntax), but whenever I do this, a part of xoops adds to the link address with the xoops base directory, so that whatever link I do (e.g., http://www.google.com) is just:

$xoops_url/www.google.com

Can anyone tell me how to fix this, or use a different method for external links?

cheers

Mat

Re: Problem with external links

could be a html thing. make sure you put the protocol in too. (http://). or it makes a relative link.

ex: http://google.com or http://www.google.com

Hi Bandit-X,
You got me on the right track! I was using too many quotation marks. It appears that when I surround something with "..." xoops appends the root url to this string at the front.

So I fiddled with various combinations of \" in waku (just needed one set) and even in content module (or more likely the text editor I'm using for Content module) I didn't need any quotations marks at all!

Should have remembered the vital importance of quotations marks in all markup languages!

Anyway, problem solved - and you got me on the right track.

cheers

The result should be
<a href="http://www.google.com"> redwood boys a>
and you see this if you are looking into the HTML source.
However if you use CKeditor, I suppose you use it in WYSIWYG and do insert links with the appropriate button/icon, and not by switching to raw HTML.
