How to link a url to the text expression 'click here'

Questions and Help
1

Hello,

In my 'snippet', I've created a 'text field' called 'link to offer' in which I plan to copy and paste a url link.
In this 'snippet' I've written the expression 'CLICK HERE'.
How can I make it so that when you click on 'CLICK HERE' you are redirected to the URL link page.

Have a nice day,
Olivier,

Hi @olivierc,

Welcome to the forum :slightly_smiling_face:

You can use our {clipboard} command to avoid pasting (just need to copy the required link) and the {link} command to insert links in your snippet.

{link: {clipboard}}CLICK HERE{endlink}

Thank you for your quick reply :wink:

Using the 'clipboard' command is a solution but I'd like to avoid it because if there are several different values to fill in the 'snippets' it could be confusing.

I've just tried the following command {link: {formtext: name=link offer}}CLICK-HERE{endlink} but it doesn't work?

Do you have a solution?

Best regards,
Olivier

Yes, actually, you have to keep {formtext} outside the {link} and use its name like this:

{formtext: name=link offer}{link: {=`link offer`}}CLICK-HERE{endlink}

this has completely confused me, is there a tutorial for this?

Commands in Text Blaze can be nested and that is what can be confusing. You can get some information and examples in our documentation.

Hello, I have been updating my snippeds to be as automated as possible, however I haven't find a way to have textblaze copy the url link for me, is there a way to have textblaze copy the URL link from a different tab for me and that way I can use the clipboard command to paste it in a snipped.

Hi Jonathan,

Text Blaze cannot automatically copy the url link, but you're correct that if you copy it manually, you can use the clipboard command automatically use it in a snippet.

If they are URLs you visit often, you could potentially create a drop-down menu with them.
