Hyperlinking To Outside Sources

Hi there! So I am preparing campaign and vendor pages for AetherCon2012. (Thank you for supporting the convention BTW!) And one of the things I am in need of is how to hyperlink to outside sources. Or is that even possible? Any and all help would be appreciated.

Can anyone help? I would really like to link information to objects in the playspace. Anyone help?

You can add links to the text boxes in the handouts. Roll20 will automatically turn that into a hyperlink. Is that what you meant?

Awwww. Okay. I guess that will have to do for now.... Gonna have to figure out how to make it all work. Thanks very much everyone! I appreciate your help!

If your players are using Chrome, the handouts in pdf shall open in a new tab of the browser, which can be quite helpful, because you only need to have Chrome open. And if your pdf is editable, your players can change the values in the pdf during the game. I am going to use it for the campaign I am preparing. Here is an exemple (stored on Dropbox), if you are interested: <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5371637/WebBlueTest.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5371637/WebBlueTest.pdf</a> N.B.: it is just a test of the layout and most of the fields are still inactive The only problem is that Chrome won't save the changes at the end of the session. You'll have to record those changes in your original file yourself. That's why I would like Roll20 to be able to display pdf files.

As Mr G said above, you can create a Handout, and assign the permissions of that Handout to "All Players" (for the "In Players Journals" setting). In the Description box, you can enter a link (e.g. "<a href="http://google.com/" rel="nofollow">http://google.com/</a>") and it will turn it in to a clickable link Yeah, I've been doing this. Venus D., here is an example of a clickable link in a Roll20 Handout. It leads to a PDF character sheet: Also, since the length of the URL matters here (nobody wants a too long "ugly" text), I think that it's a good idea to shorten it by using <a href="http://tinyurl.com/" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/</a>
