Hi there,

I would like to be able to add URL to an external site as an artefact into my portfolio. It is not an image or multimedia file. I want to add a link to a site itself. Imagine me as a webdesigner who wants to keep a list of sites I was working on. It would be great to be able to attach a screenshot to URL. Which artefact shall I use? Is there such one? If there is not, I am going to write it. Which artefact would you recommend as a starting point then?

Thanks in advance

David

Hi,

Currently, there is no artefact that does what you're looking for - although you could use the textbox block in a view to simulate it (which would be a bit messy).

It seems like a rather simple artefact plugin and blocktype to write - I guess you just keep a list of websites with some extra details. I don't think any of the existing artefact plugins are really a good base to start from in your case, because they're all more complicated than what you need :). But you could certainly refer to them while writing your own one.

If you need help writing it, try joining #mahara on freenode - developers are there who can help explain things if you need.
