AmigaGuide: How to Add Images and URL in Nodes?

[tygre]

Hi all!

I'm finally writing an AmigaGuide for AmiModRadio and I would like to add images and URLs into nodes, to mimic essentially its Web page (for example here) .

How can I do that?

I can't find much information about using datatypes and embedding datatypes into nodes: I would rather not open a new Window if possible!

Cheers and happy new year!

http://code.iamkate.com/articles/amigaguide/ should help. I bookmarked this ages ago but never used it.

Hi Samurai Crow and thanks!

Unfortunately, I already read it through and it does not quite help

Also, I can't get MUI v3.8 to play nice with AmigaGuide... I added

MUIA_HelpNode, "MainAbout",

to some of my gadget declarations and

@node "MainAbout" "MainAbout"
Display the version of this instance of AmiModRadio.
@endnode

to my AmigaGuide file but calling the HELP key shows "Cannot open MainAbout" (translated from French )

What am I doing wrong?

Happy new year!

"link" and/or "alink" doesn't work as expected? Alternative PowerGuide should be able doing it.

Thanks Daxb but I would rather be compatible with "standard" AmigaGuide... Also, I think that I'm missing/misunderstanding something

What are you using for the header? I know every AmigaGuide file must start with an @DATABASE tag but I'm running out of ideas.

I had a look into DOpusMagellan II guides. The multiview version (powerguide version exists too) has some images included and it is done this way:

@{" Show image " link "Path/to/pics/PIC.002/Main"}

"/Main" at the end seems to be necessary? There are link nodes named "Main". Sorry, I do not know how AmigaGuide works.

Hi there!

Thanks for your help! Yes, indeed, it seems that AmigaGuide was not made to include any datatype (like an image) in a node, but only through a link... Okay! Not a problem really

My remaining problem though is the "connection" between MUI and AmigaGuide Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Cheers!

Hi all!

Okay, mystery solved but not very satisfying answer!
The "connection" between MUI and AmigaGuide works if and only if the node ID are in lowercase!

The following works:

MUIA_HelpNode, "main-about",

with

@node "main-about" "About"
Display the version of this instance of AmiModRadio.
@endnode

Any other combination of casing break the connection

Anyways, it is working

Cheers!
