Linking Site Resources

by Adam Baratz · in Site Feedback · 09/05/2001 (9:00 pm) · 2 replies

If anyone here has submitted stuff to MobyGames, you'll know they let you link between resources with their special Moby tags. Since their goal is to build a complex encyclopedia of games, it's crucial to refer to other entries in their database. For example, if you were righting a description about an RTS, you might want to refer to Dune II. To do so, you'd give the quasi-HTML of "...blah blah blah Dune II..." to link to the site's page on Dune II. There seem to be many instances where it would be useful to do the same thing on GG. Is their a possibility of implementing this feature?

Well, you can imbed resource links and even resources searches, such as these: link to specific resource, or all resources posted by Adam using the url links, but I like the idea of some shortcuts. Maybe [search=search_args]name[/search] that would automatically build a URL link.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more it seems like a very good idea :)
