Image Ads referring to same .tel Aled, I know this has been mentioned/requested a few times since imageAds were introduced. Could telnic (by default) please enable the graphical imageAds links (which specifically reference same or other .tels) to STAY within the same/parent .tel window. thank you. |
I absolutely agree. Clicking an image whose link refers to the SAME domain should act in exactly the same manner as a weblink or goto with the same domain. Many of my domains use image banners with same domain to draw attention, but they open in new browser window and this is very annoying and inconsistent. As I develop my domains further, the use of banners is very important visually. Aled, can we get this minor change soon? Mark |
i dont now whats this about but i do agree to |

Dutch its EXTREMELY important. Directory builders are really close to being able to UPSELL the TELNAMES .tels as the perfect self-managed landing page. the underlying directory.tel is actually just a bonus for the client. but for the UPSELL package to be easily sold, the underlying directory must function with logic and consistency. dont you see? we are so close here... just need a couple of things to be tweaked.[/size] |
Well as you say boracay, i feel The potential of a tel but dont see all the possebilleties yet ! But you mean just a ad thats not clickable ! Or do you realy need it to open on the Same page |
Quote:
actually, an ad that was not clickable would be great!!!! would help enormously. ...but the reality is thats an ON/OFF user-selectable option and perhaps that is overly burdening the proxy. what we are hoping/suggesting/wishing for here is a compromise, and to be consistent with an already implemented action. ok, so clicks are always on, thats that, but if the URL is a .tel then simply stay within the same window. same action as already implemented for .tel links elsewhere. hope this helps.[/size] |

The original thread. It's simply about the "click" occuring on imageAds. STAY in same window (where a .tel is the page being pointed to by the link) Or said another way, please, DO NOT open a new window for each and every click on an imageAd.[/size] |
Yes please and soon please! Mark |
Totally agree, hope telnic do so ASAP for the good of the .tel domains. Regards http://ideal.tel |
I support this request, It is in line with my earlier request to have the facility - through the CTH - for a sponsors image display that was linked to either a ,tel or website. I had previously suggested using the logo space but a mobile visible image ad would do. For me, the critical requirement is access through the CTH but, where a link to a .tel was concerned, keeping the result in the same window makes sense. To completely make my day, a smaller image ad (?), preloaded into every .tel, positioned to the left of the search box, and titled "HOME" (e.g. the font page) would be helpful...... well, something like that, anyway. |

If you are going to use this feature as a top banner, just like what we provide for the Skype (through TELcp - see at telcp.tel), and if you host any of your websites with SSL we will be able to create small script for you. So that you will be able to upload any image (recursive or non-recursive). If interested, we will provide this kind of small scripts (and many other scripts) under our planned Open Source project. Cheers![/size] |
@TELcp, "If you are going to use this feature as a top banner" I didn't really mean a top banner, just a button marked "HOME". Go to http://crediton.tel and search for "small dogs" - then try and get back to the home page of the directory. I have never heard anyone outside of this forum talking about using breadcrumbs to navigate a site, so its likely that they would simply close the page, and MAYBE open the site again to start another search. |

Aled, could you please comment regarding this very specific thread. Quote: [/size]
Blunderer, by using the imageAds (with the .tel link STAYING at same window) you can implement MUCH more than just a quick graphical way back home, it will allow a directory to do very powerful inter-page navigation. A home button is easily done, we just need the "click" to .tels to STAY within same window.[/size] |
@Blunderer, I understand u very well. .tel proxies as they are today don't allow us to do whatever we wish. What I meant in my last post was that we could provide a small icon (marked "Home") in place of the top banner. The icon has to be an image (.tia format), and any click on that will take you to the home page. It is not a problem at all. I have seen this kind of a thing is being used by one Russian .tel site. (Don't remember the name now). This kind of thing is provided by TELcp & Mark as well. But right now TELcp does not support recursive (to be displayed on every page). At present it is intended for single page only. If you really need this, we can program it in TELcp. If you want to do it yourself, then please wait till we provide such scripts (FREE of charge) through our planned Open Source Project. Cheers! |
Boracay, We're looking into the suggestion that's been made. I'll respond further on here when I have further details. Thanks, Aled |
thank you. |
@Blunderer, I will demonstrate it to you now, if you are still there. Go to the mytown.tel pages and take a look. Thos pages have a banner linking to www.telcp.info. I will now remove the banner and it's link (to telcp.info) and replace it with a smal icon marked "Home" and link it to main page. This might take several minutes before the actual changes take place in the proxies. ++++ If you are not in the Forum now, I'll send you a pm. P.S. This feature is already available thru TELcp. All you need to do is making a small button instead of a banner and link to main .tel page. |
@Blunderer, The button (recursive) is uploaded. The effect you refer to will be available only when the feature to open within the .tel is made available. When it is available, we will include it in our Open Source Script. |
At present image ad (.tia) input which opens in a new window (target="_blank") is as follows (note the URI in BOLD) $ad = array( 'text' => array('.tia', '1', '2', '94', 'img', 'https://www.telcp.com/images/home.gif','uri', 'http://mytown.tel'), 'profiles' => '_all_', 'owner' => '_ad' ); In order to open in the same window (target="_self"), the above URI input needs some kind of a prefix. However, it is upto Telnic Engineers to design it. (Not a very big job though). ++++ |
@telcp @Telnic, as I suggested earlier in this thread, just add the new string pair "target" to the .tia record if alternate linking is required. eg "target" "_blank" "target" "_self" and then let the proxy honour the request. Mark |
