URL's

[Beadlam]

I have a few jewelry items that have matching or coordinating items elsewhere in my iCraft shop. In my description, I usually make note of that. I tried putting in the URL for that item, to make it easier for someone to find it quickly. I'm wondering if there is any way to make the URL a hot link that someone could click on rather than cutting and pasting the address. I'm not suggesting that this be used to send people outside of iCraft - but if it's to another item within the shop, it could be very useful.

Thanks.

I would be very interested in the linking of shop items. I have earrings, bracelets and pendants that I would like to link for customers to find these matching items. Thank you for mentioning this,Leanne!

I agree it's a good idea to link matching items. I see that you can post "sets" under jewelry, but I guess it's not quite the same as suggesting matching items.

OK, good point ladies. Made a note to myself.

Just wondering if a hot link is available yet and I just don't know how to do it. Just entered earrings to match a necklace and put the url to the necklace in the description. It didn't become an active link by just submitting the new item. Any chance this could become a feature?

Thanks.

I just found I was able to use the FireFox extension, Linkification, to create an active link. Please let me know if there is any problem with us using this.

Thanks, again.[/b]

I think being able to link to other shop items via a thumbnail would be even more awesome!

Hi Beadlam,
I don't think we'll have a problem with you using Firefox extension, since you are doing it for a good reason. Let me know if it works.

Unfortunately, we haven't even started implementing a feature for connecting related or matching items. All I can say is that we know about this request and it is on our "to do" list. Thanks!

Thanks, Admin. I know you are all working very hard on all the things we've been asking for.

Linkification does work - anything written as "http://address" immediately becomes a hot link. I'll be sure to use it only for items within icraft. Thanks again for keeping this on the list.l
