Trying to get simple hyperlink to work

Wappler General How To
#1

Was following Brian English’s instructions but can’t get it to work. Sent him a message but no answer yet. Here is a link to my message: https://community.wappler.io/t/trying-to-make-a-hyperlink-work-as-per-your-instructions/44426?u=rgilchrist

It’s a link to a private page.

Can you supply some screenshots or more information here? Perhaps share your link code as well.

I was trying to create a hyperlink within a Bootstrap Card using your instructions at https://wapplerunwrapped.online/videoplayer.php?id=15 and have run into a couple problems. The end result doesn’t seem to work for me. Here is a picture of the code on my page and for the life of me I cannot understand why it does not show a link.

The correct customer id comes back in the browser but there is no hyperlink. See image The 838 beside Customer# should be the link. Thanks in advance. I am using the pre version 5 version of Wappler.image

Your hyperlink code is wrong.
First the text is outside it, then the code inside the dmx-bind:href is also wrong.

Also, when posting code in the community better paste the code itself instead of a screenshot, we cannot copy code from the screenshot.

your code should be:

<a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers"> {{Id_Customers}} </a>

also when you have problems please post them in a public topic, don’t contact single users directly.

Thanks Teodor. This gives me a hyperlink but not on the id number.

Here is my code:

Customer# Id_Customers{{id_Customers}}
#6

Code got stripped of characters. How do I paste with code intact?
div class=“card-header”>Customer# Id_Customers{{id_Customers}}</div

#8

Thanks.
<div class="card-header">Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">Id_Customers</a>{{id_Customers}}</div>

#9

This is not correct.

<div class="card-header">Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">{{Id_Customers}}</a></div>

#10

Your code must be exactly:

<div class="card-header">
    Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">{{Id_Customers}}</a>
</div>
#11

And now I’ve lost the link.

Here is my code:

<div class="card-header">
    Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">{{Id_Customers}}</a>
</div>
#12

Not sure what you mean? Which link you have lost?
It seems to me the {{Id_Customers}} binding must be wrong, please check it - as explained i cannot copy from your initial screenshot … maybe some capital letter is wrong.

This text shows a link but on the word id_Customer not on the recordset id_Customer.
<div class="card-header">Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">Id_Customers</a>{{id_Customers}}</div>
The code you suggested show no link whatsoever.

<div class="card-header">
    Customer# <a dmx-bind:href="'CustomerInfo.php?id=' + Id_Customers">{{Id_Customers}}</a>
</div>
#14

My question is … is this Id_Customers supposed to be:

Id_Customers

or

id_Customers

?

Why not just use lower case for your database table columns names to avoid such conflicts?

#15

OMG. How freaking embarrassing. Dang. That did it. Thanks Teodor. You are my hero! Yeesh.

#16

Wait. The link appears on the page but it does not pass the id after the ?id= in the URL.

#17

Check this again …

And btw, If you use the data picker to pick the values using the UI you won’t have such issues.

#18

Dang. The link appears on the page but it does not pass the id after the ?id= in the URL. I am trying to pass a parameter to the CustomerInfo.php page to filter a recordset with.

#19

Nevermind. It was the capital letter thing again. Duh.
