[Pro] FW altering links - I swear!

It really is! I linked my text to this:

pm.cgi?action=member&temp=browse&session=%%session%%

And Freeeway changes it to this:

pm.cgi?action=member&temp=browse&session=%25%25session%25%25

I have a bunch of links like that for a member only area, and FW won’t allow me to have the double percent signs. Freeway keeps adjusting them for me, so my links don’t work. Not sure what to do.

To add code to a link you need to use the Extended dialog. Open the Hyperlink dialog with your link selected, click on the Extended button and click New in the dialog that appears. Now add the href to the Name field and the link as you want it in the Value field and Ok all the dialogs.

That should do it for you.

I don’t get it, Joe. I’m not doing something right. Do I actually put href in the name field? If I don’t put anything in the regular Hyperlink field, I can’t click Okay.

Here is a screenshot of my two hyperlink areas: 404 Error

The FW Guide says: When you use the Extended… command in the Edt Hyperlnk dialog, the name/value pair you define is added inside the A HREF tag. You must define a hyperlink on the selected item in order for your name/ value pair to be added to the output.

But how I can define a hyperlink if I can only enter it into the extended area? What do I put in the regular area?

Sorry, I forgot you needed to put some dummy text in the Hyperlink field. The href you put in the Extended dialog will then override the hyperlink (so it can really be anything even just a space character).
