How to embed external URL links in notecards

Gregor6P's picture

Hi there, I have a newbie question for you.

I enjoy your notecard giver, but I wanted to know how to embed an external URL link in the notecard itself. Landmarks you can just drop in from your inventory, but URLs are not inventory items. Can you please let me know how?

Thanks!

That is one thing they could have made easier. As far as I know the only way to do that is to create a script and drag the script into the notepad. SL allows you to embed textures, landmarks and scripts in a notecard. Just create a script like this:

{
touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llLoadURL(llDetectedKey(0), "Heaton Research", "http://www.heatonresearch.com/");
}
}

Rename the script to be a title that the user will click inside the notecard. Maybe the URL name itself. Then drag the script into the notecard.

Jeff-
Thank you for the reply. The script itself compiles after I added Default to the top. However, when clicking on it within the notecard, it simply copies the script to my inventory. The script doesn't appear to run. I'm not directed to the web site in any way. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
-Gregor

Then I have to admit I am not sure exactly how to make a linkable URL. I looked at some note cards I have, I couldn't find an example of one with a linkable URL. I had found a page that said to do the script, but I guess thats incorrect, or maybe worked at one time. I will have to research further, thats a good question.

Have you seen notecards that do it? I am not 100% sure I've ever seen this.
