XF 1.3 Is it possible to make a "xen:link" through the ACP?

[Krave]

Title says it all, if this is not possible; could someone please show me how I would go about creating one of these?


Thanks.

What are you trying to do?

 

[Krave]

I'm adding a staff listing to my website through the help page. I've successfully done this but instead of adding the full URL, I'd prefer to add the xen:link so it blends in with the rest of the coding. It's mainly a OCD thing but that's the way I like it.

 

[Paul B]

The syntax is used like this:

<a href="{xen:link 'account/upgrades'}">Account Upgrades</a>

Rather than being OCD, it's actually good practice to use xen:link.
If the domain URL ever changes in the future, the links will continue to work without needing to be updated.

 

[Krave]

I know, but what I'm asking is there a way to create xen:links like the phrases?

 

[Paul B]

It's HTML.
You need to add it to a template.

I still don't really understand what you are asking.

 

[Krave]

This is my coding on my navigation bar - http://prntscr.com/35m7uk

What I want is to do is "create" a xen:link for the following link: http://gamebait.info/index.php?members/&type=staff

 

[Paul B]

Edit the navigation template and add the code.

 

[Krave]

You still don't get what I mean. I'm not very good at describing things in great detail so sorry, but let me try once more.

I want to change this link: http://gamebait.info/index.php?members/&type=staff

Into a xen:link, so it'd look something like: {xen:link members/staff}

 

[Chris D]

{xen:link 'members/staff', '', 'type=staff'}

 

[Krave]

{xen:link 'members/staff', '', 'type=staff'}

Yeah, something like this but this doesn't work :/

 

[Chris D]

{xen:link 'members', '', 'type=staff'}

I made a mistake, sorry.

 

[Krave]

I made a mistake, sorry.

Thank you man!
