I have a Foundry 2 site.
Wondering if there’s a way to put in a clickable email link that essentially follows the scroll?
Or at the very least is located at a specific point? As in, an easily noticeable email link where my product/service demo is located.
To be clear, you want to send an email with a link, and when the recipient of that email clicks that link, you want to:
have your site open on the recipient’s device
then automatically scroll to the right spot on a page
Correct?
You can do that using an anchor, which you add to the URL that you put in the email.
If you have the Foundry 2 Potion Pack add-on, here’s how (if you do not own the Potion Pack add-on for Foundry, you can still do the same with an HTML anchor, but it’s ugly and more fiddly):
Open your RapidWeaver project
Scroll down to the bit that you want the visitor to see when they click the link in your email
In your Foundry 2 collection of stacks, you’ll find Anchor (but only if you have the Foundry 2 Potion Pack installed):
Note that, when you preview or publish your page, the anchor itself will remain invisible. It’s there, to be found if a visitor enters the URL with the anchor’s name attached (see below0, but for all other purposes - it’s not there.
In the Anchor stack’s settings, make sure “Include icon” is unchecked, and enter a good, short name (without spaces!) in the “Anchor name” field. I entered “demo” here:
Wow. Thanks Erwin. Super detailed and very appreciative.
I think I wasn’t clear in my original post.
This is more for people who come to the website, check out my demo and want to get in touch with me.
I want to create a visual button/clickable in the area of the demo so that they don’t have to hunt around for ‘contact’ info.
The Foundry 2 documentation has been taken offline, but you can still access parts of it on the Wayback Machine (link). Unfortunately the videos don’t work.
