Is there any way to do add an anchor link parameter (usually # and a keyword) to a URL on customizable landing pages: 

  • home
  • community overview
  • knowledge base overview
  • ideas
  • custom pages

I’d love if I could anchor a link to a specific widget lower down the page. 

Hey @DannyPancratz, that’s a very cool idea if I understood correctly. I believe this might be possible with some JavaScript work.

For example, you can customize single pages and also add new elements/functions. You can see I’ve changed your rank to the color red only to this topic:

 

I imagine you probably already knew about this but the script I’ve made was to target only this topic:

<script>
const isPage = window.location.pathname === '/got-a-question-38/anchor-links-on-customizable-pages-5865';
  
if (isPage) {
  const rank = document.querySelector(".qa-usertitle");
  
  rank.style.color = 'red';
}
  
</script>

I’d love if I could anchor a link to a specific widget lower down the page. 

Not sure exactly what you mean here, would this be an InSided widget? Are you looking for this link to make the user scroll down in the same page directly to the widget?

If you are able to share screenshots/video or a website that already does this, I could see if this is possible. I believe it would be something like this:

function scrollTo(hash) {
    location.hash = "#" + hash;
}

Thanks @leo-inspired, yes that’s the intended result: a URL parameter that auto scrolls down to a specific Insided lower on the page. It’s pretty common functionality I’ve seen on a lot of websites, usually tied to header text or specific widgets on how the page is built. 

Hey @DannyPancratz, so this should be possible with some JavaScript but it’s not so easy as I thought. I did some research and tried some scripts to this topic but with no success 😪

If you can have assistance from a developer, you should be able to achieve this.

Thanks, @leo-inspired. I’ve reconsidered my use case so I don’t need it currently, but it’s good to know it’s technically possible with the right technical friends to help. 🙂

Making a note here that I added ?UTM codes to a Custom page from the Featured content widget links which broke the links… did not work, the urls could not render as intended.

What comes to anchor links, I would like to add link to external site, for example .com, what points to the community & custom page and certain place there.

For example:

I have Custom page where I have Banner Widgets 1 & 2 & 3. I want that users what are in .com, when they click link there, they are directed to the Custom page and to Banner Widget 2 content there. Not to top of the Custom page.

I tested this today and it didnt work. After I have added HTML to the Banner Widget, platform removed it after I saved it.

Is this something you are looking for as well @DannyPancratz? 

yes, I think that’s also what i’m looking to do
