I want to include a link to a document. I’m using a generic section type. How do I do it?

First you need to upload the document into the Administration section, Documents. It's where you store images or files when you want to use them in a generic section type. Once you've done that, you need to:

  • place the cursor over the filename, use the mouse to right-click and a mini-menu will appear... select the option 'Copy Link' and it will copy the web address into the clipboard
  • now go to the section you want to add the link. Make sure you're in 'Edit' mode. Select the text that you want to be a link and go to 'Add/edit link' icon... add the appropriate link, title and select 'New Window' so it doesn't replace your web site when someone selects the link. Then 'Submit' and then 'Update' so that the changes are saved.

Now the text should be visible as a link.
