Managing Hyperlinks across projects

[jkpalmer]

I have the requirement of creating a hyperlink from one project topic to another project topic.

Thinking is that I create a bookmark in the "target" project but after that, not sure where to go.

Am looking for the best practice to accomplish.

We use context sensitive help IDs (CSH) for links across projects, though they are all stored on the same server and so we can easily set the base URL.

At the project source file level or the output? Can't imagine why you would need/want to do that at the project level. I think either way though you would need the URL or UNC path to the file and insert that data in the file you intend to open it from.

For sake of discussion, I have three projects.
Project One is my "Knowledge Base" and is accessible only on an internal webserver.
Project Two is an intranet application published on an internally accessible webserver.
Project Three is an internet application published on an internet webserver.

All three projects are managed by a Flare team.

I would like to be able to have links from Project One to bookmarks on both Project Two and Three.

If you are looking for how to access the bookmarks, you just add a hashtag and the bookmark name (I don't think you can have spaces in the name).
For example:

Code: Select all

 <a href="html_tips.html#tips">Visit the Useful Tips Section</a>

For links to other projects, you would need the whole URL where the file name is in the above example.

You can get more details from the W3schools site at:

The following forum discussion helped me quickly resolve the challenge of creating viable links across HTML5 projects (merged using the runtime TOC solution). Props to the authors for clarity and completeness.
