How to make internal links in a post

Today I posted a thread with 10 sections:

10 dingen die ik nooit zal doen als IT-professional

10 dingen die ik nooit zal doen als IT-professional Dit gaat over pc-beveiliging. En het gaat over dingen die een IT-professional nooit zou doen, maar die minder IT-savvy mensen keer op keer doen. Deze 10 fouten veroorzaken altijd hoofdpijn. Afbeelding: Nerza / Shutterstock.com Arne Arnold...

Now a like to make in this message a content with 10 links to the different parts in this message.

But I do not know how to do that.

 

[frm]

Change the large text to an H1/H2/H3

H1 text title​

H2 text title​

H3 text title​

[HEADING=1]H1 text title[/HEADING]

Then it gets a heading link as seen in this post:

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-make-internal-links-in-a-post.228121/#-h2-text-title

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-make-internal-links-in-a-post.228121/#-h3-text-title

 

[Mr Lucky]

The principle is correct but it's bit confusing typing H1 there because in a post Heading 1 is actually html h2, Heading 2 is html h3 etc.

I tried it. but it does not work!

That's because your headings are just text and not formatted as headings.




It looks like you copied the link from the post#2 here in the thread. That was only the example link for that heading here - you need to make your own.


You need to type the text then make them paragraph headings from the heading dropdown in the toolbar




Once you've don that you'll be able to link to them.

After inserting as a heading, go into preview mode, hover and you'll see a link icon:

See what I have done:

  [URL='https://www.piepcomp.nl/threads/10-dingen-die-ik-nooit-zal-doen-als-it-professional.15572/#-h1-text-title'][B]1.[/B][/URL] Verschuiven in plaats van kopiëren
 
 
 [HEADING=1]1. Verschuiven in plaats van kopiëren[/HEADING]

But look at the picture:

 

[Chromaniac]

copy the link from that chain icon. actual link does not have h1-text-title thing. link is created based on content in the heading. which sadly means that it would break if you change the content in that heading.

For instance...

1. Verschuiven in plaats van kopiëren​

The link created for the above headline is this: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/how-to-make-internal-links-in-a-post.228121/#-1-verschuiven-in-plaats-van-kopieren

basically click on that chain icon to see how it works. it would focus on that heading. and then you can copy the link from browser address bar. or just copy it from the chain icon.

you can also of course create links using the text-fragments feature first introduced in chrome. firefox recently added support for it. not sure if it is supported by all major browsers today. though yeah, internal heading links is the way to go.

 

[Abraham54]

This is the actual link now.

[Chromaniac]

that link would work if there is a heading named H1 Text Title in your thread. It doesn't. You do not have to create a link manually. XenForo creates the link for you.

What they done at the mentioned link I tried first, but it did not work on my forum!

 

[Chromaniac]

You are making things too complicated for yourself. Your post still does not use Headers. They are just large text.

 

[Abraham54]

that link would work if there is a heading named H1 Text Title in your thread. It doesn't. You do not have to create a link manually. XenForo creates the link for you.

Do I have to use Verschuiven in plaats van kopiëren for text?

 

[Mr Lucky]

That links to the page, but not to any title.

You should not have #-h1-text-title

 

[Chromaniac]

you can use any text but it has to be made a heading using the heading feature in xenforo toolbar.​

Above text is a header. You get a chain at the end which points to this link:

I used Heading 3 for the above text.



The link created would of course contain the text in the heading content. You cannot define a link fragment yourself.

 

[Mr Lucky]

Highlight the text, remove your current bold and font size formatting and then apply a heading format from here:



When you have done that, click on preview and then hover over the title to get the link from the chain icon

 

[Abraham54]

See message #6 why you cannot see what I do.

 

[Mr Lucky]

See message #6 why you cannot see what I do.

Because it isn't on the page you linked to which just has text for titles instead of heading bbcode.

 

[Chromaniac]

It's possible you have a caching mechanism that is serving me old content as a guest visitor. If you see the chain besides the heading at your end, try clicking on the chain icon and see if the focus lands on that particular heading title. And then use that link.

 

[Mr Lucky]

See message #6 why you cannot see what I do.

Perhaps there is a cache issue, because that isn't on the page

On Windows 11 forum they use this:
