Links

There are three different types of links:

• External links (websites outside your publication)
• Internal Link (websites within your publication)
• Download links (links to assets)

In the text/image component there is a corresponding button for each of these link types:

• Link einfügen/editieren
• Link to Magnolia page
• Link to DAM document

Adding links

1. Select the link text
2. Click on the corresponding button
3. Specify the destination
   • External website: enter the URL
   • Internal Website or Asset: Select the page or asset in the appearing Window

Open a link in a new window

If the link should be opened in a new browser window, a “target page” must be defined:

1. Place the cursor in the link
2. Click on the button “Create/Edit link”
3. Go to the “Destination Page” tab
4. Select “New page”
5. Save

WIth linklist and teaser components links are created differently. This is explained in Teaser.

Non-functioning links (dead links) are displayed in Magnolia in red and with an icon.

There is a list of non-functioning links for every CMS website. This makes it easy to eliminate them: Linkcheck
