Using RLM for the first time. Watched the videos, read the knowledge papers. Can't find my issue anywhere.

I have set up links on my page www.vtfdmemorial.com that are not linking properly. The links are for external forms hosted on the S drive. Using RLM I enter the link address in the href column. On the webpage it always puts the parent site (www.vtfdmemorial.com) in front of the link address. Which is not correct. I have chosen _blank as the target. And not sure what the other fields are for.

I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing ..

How do I fix this??

Also I am using a bootstrap 2 template.

Thanks

Eric,

Your links to your forms are missing the http:// in the link. If you add that the forms will come up.

You might want to reduce the opacity on your background image down to 70-75% as it will make the form a little easier to read.

(I edited my original post as I didn't see the link issue and I think this will fix your linking problem.)

Actually I think what it's missing is the extension of the form page. I'm going to assume that the "webregform" is the name of the page that the form is on and not the name of the form? Not sure what form creator you used so it's hard to say what the procedure is for that builder, but if you're using the CC Web Form Builder you put the code on a page, and then you reference the page the form code is on. In this case it looks like you forgot the ".html" at the end of the page name.

If that's the name of the php file, then you probably need to include the ".php" at the end. Unsure what the procedure for your form is as we don't know what you used to create it. My guess that the .html is what's missing though.

So here's my problem. These forms do not reside on www.vtfdmemorial.com they live on the S drive. RLM is putting www.vtfdmemorial.com in front of my link which should be http://fireguy.coffeecup.com/forms/webregform
At no time did I ever put www.vtfdmemorial.com in the href. Not sure why RLM is doing that.

The problem here is you did not place HTTP:// in front of your link. If you leave that out, your browser treats it as a file path so it is looking for a file inside of the folder "fireguy.coffeecup.com/forms/webregform"

To fix this, make fireguy.coffeecup.com/forms/webregform http://fireguy.coffeecup.com/forms/webregform
