Macromedia Contribute 3 Tutorial
Working with Links (part two)
Now that we've been over basic links, let's go over the other options that you have.
If you choose, "Drafts and Recent Pages" Contribute will display a list of recently edited files or drafts. This works exactly like linking to a web page, except that you choose your page from the menu.
To create an email link, from the Insert Link button menu, choose "Email Address."
This will open a dialogue box very similar to the one we just saw, except that now instead of a web address you need to enter an email address. Click OK and your email link will be created on the page.
Note: Once you are inside the Insert Link dialogue box you can choose the different link options using this navigation bar at the top of the window.
You can use Contribute to link to a file that is located on your computer. When you do this, Contribute will upload your file to the server automatically.
As you can see, this is similar to the other links we have discussed. Here, you enter in the text you want your link to display, and then choose browse to locate the file on your computer, and click OK.
Important: If you want to modify a document later on, you must browse to it from within Contribute. Changing it on your computer will not update the document on the web.
