referring to one listing with another

Ok remember I'm using RM for an Alpaca Farm, so think animals. I wonder if there is a way when one alpaca is referenced on another page, like the mention of an alpacas mommy, I can somehow have a link to the mommy's page. I think the answer would probably be I have to name each mommy as a choice on the listing editor setup and somehow put the url with it, but not sure
1. if a choice either as a dropdown or checkbox can have html within the listing field.
2. if there is a simpler way (crossing fingers there is).
thanks...and by the way the problem yesterday with images was where I was putting the image, I should have been putting it in the listing images folder and not the images folder. Also some permissions were screwy with the other problems. Thank you Benjamin!

Hi irishis,
I'm glad to hear your earlier problem got sorted out.
Actually, I think your first suggestion is the best way to do it... but it's not too bad! What you'd do is include a new listing field: "mommy", set to textbox. Then, you could just type in the filename of the relevant listing.
Post me back if you need a hand implementing this! :-)

Oh sure not to tough if it wasn't for the fact that there would be about 20 to choose from, set up will take a bit, but I can do it. The problem will be I cannot do it till all the other is done since I would have to do a search on each individual stock and then get it's url within the RM software then code it. Does that mean I can put html within the listing fields setup? like Mommies: (a href="http://www.mommie1.html">mommie1</a>, a href="http://www.mommie2.html">mommie2</a>, etc......) as a drop down or check boxes?

Hey there,
Did this problem get sorted out? It seems to have gotten missed! How's the site coming along, btw?
Incidentally, yes - you can use the listings fields to store URLs :-)

Well I haven't had a chance to try this out-my business computer has developed a constant need to return to the place it was purchased-lost my motherboard on Friday. So the site was moving along-it's a lot of set up-until my computer pooped out. So as soon as I get it back I'll be back at it, and I'll let you know. Thanks for checking on me!

Hi irishis,
Thanks for posting! :)
The reason why the drop down won't work is because it doesn't recognize options with HTML tags. So what's being output in your Sire Name drop down is something similar to this:
<option value="<a href="linkURL">Zephyrus</a>">
This unfortunately isn't proper HTML. Try using the following instead (using HTML entities for the "greater than" and "less than" characters):
Sire Name (,<a href="http://design.criabarn.com/rm/listings/l0010.html">Zephyrus</a>,<a href="http://design.criabarn.com/rm/listings/l0012.html">Nic Nac<a>,The Babe,Fire N Ice,Rocket Man,Choco)
Your links should be output properly in your Sire Name drop down using this method.
I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions please let me know! :)

This is not working in fact it seems like everything that was working is not not. Links aren't showing up, fields aren't showing up on some pages but are on others. If my client is filling out a listing with a text box and wants to have a line break for a list of things what is the way she should do it. The links by the way are showing up on the page with all the html showing instead of a link. I have coded and recoded and I cannot figure out what is missing. Do you think in the url the " needs to be coded with it's text equivalent rather than using the actual " I think I tried that too but I'm losing track trying to find solutions. I'll go again and fill out a support help form too.
