Hello, my suggestion to the administrators of the forums is to add an anchor vBCode tag(s). This would mainly be for long tutorials and so tutorials do not have to have a post each for different sections.
Here's how:
First, you need to create two new bbcodes. Start by going to:
Admin CP -> Custom BB Codes -> Add New BB Code
Then fill in the relevant fields using these settings and parameters:
Title: Anchor link
Tag: jumpto
Replacement: <a href="#{option}">{param}</a>
Example: This takes you to a new location within a post
Description: The [jumpto] tag allows you to jump to another location within a post, usually used for long posts with headings and/or sections of interest. This tag <b>must</b> be used in conjunction with the [aname] tag. One is not functional without the other.
Use {option}: Yes
Click Save
Create another bbcode using these settings and parameters:
Title: Named anchor link
Tag: aname
Replacement: <a name="{option}">{param}</a>
Example: [aname=aname]This is where you jump to[/aname]
Description: The [aname] tag is used in conjunction with the <a href="#jumpto">[jumpto]</a> tag. One is not functional without the other.
Use {option}: Yes
Click Save
Implementation
Wrap the [jumpto] tag around a link that will take the reader to another place within the post, as follows:
Then wrap the [aname] tag around the first word or phrase of the section you want the reader to jump to:
Code:
[aname="anchor1"]This is where you end up[/aname]
In the above two examples, change anchor1 to whatever name you choose for the link. (For example: if you are linking to a section called "Theory of Gravity", anchor1 could be called theory). They must both be identical in order to work correctly.
And yes, you can use these same tags for "back to top" links. Wrap the following tags around the first word of the post:
Code:
[aname="top"]first word of your post[/aname]
And place this one in the appropriate part of the post where a reader would click it to jump back to the top:
Thread which I found this on: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...s-using-vbcode
If there is already a way to anchor via the html wrap tags, then please let me know! But I think adding this would be easier for users that are new-ish to vBulletin.
Thanks!
