Zipping to Last Page

[Paula M. Moerland]

This is a dumb question. So dumb, I'll probably figure it out as soon as I post this, but I haven't figured it out, so ...

I have a sub-tab link connected to an ongoing type of discussion. Right now, it always brings you to page one of the discussion. I'd like it zip to the last page if someone clicks on it. Or last reply to be more specific. How can I do this?

Thanks!

Hi Paula, 

You can add /showLastReply to the end of the url for the discussion, like this:

Thanks,

thanks Phil

I guess I am missing something. You cannot permanently add a / to the url for a discussion. So how do you add /showLastReply? You would have to manual add it to the url each time you wanted to use it.

Hi Barbara,

You'd need to use this in the context of a link you created to a specific discussion. In Paula's case, she wants a link to the latest reply in a discussion as a submenu item.

*smooch* Thank you! I suspected it would be easy, but I don't have true developer skills.

Brilliant, Phil!

ooo, I've been wanting this solution, I asked on here before and got something close, but this is perfect.  Thanks Paula and Phil!
