Using Layout Grids as Bookmarks: URL

Post by AliGW »

I have this test site: https://www.alisongwright.me.uk/EICC/

Regardless of which part of the page I am on, it always shows the same URL, unless I have invoked the gallery, in which case it shows https://www.alisongwright.me.uk/EICC/#prettyPhoto all the time thereafter.

I had hoped that links such as https://www.alisongwright.me.uk/EICC/#events might be possible, but it seems not, so I am guessing that only anchors behave this way. I looked at the section called URL Parameters for Internal Links in the Help file, but this did not really shed any light on this.

So, the question is: is there a way to make my layout grids behave as anchors in the URL? And is there a way to prevent #prettyPhoto from showing in the URL? I'd prefer #gallery.

The practical reason for asking is if I want to share a link directly to the events section of the page, for example.

Thanks.

You can also use the ID as anchor.

For example, this also works:
https://www.alisongwright.me.uk/EICC/in ... LayoutGrid

This is not specific to WWB, it's standard HTML functionality.
