Add Links
concrete5 helps you avoid broken links by giving you powerful link management tools.
Add a text content block
Put your page into edit mode and click the "add to" for the area you want to add text to. Select the "Content" block type from the overlay.
A rich text editor will load for you to start entering text.
Add your content
Enter your text! You can format it with the toolbar options above the text area. If you have text that's already formatted with HTML, you can click the "HTML" button on the toolbar to paste directly in the source.
Adding an external link

To add a link to a page that's not on your site, just highlight the text you want to turn into a link and click the link button.
Add your link details

Link URL = Address of the site you want to link to. Make sure you include http:// at the beginning.
Target = determines whether the link will open in the same window or in a new one.
Title = the alt text visitors will see when they mouse over the link.
When you're done, click Update and your link will be added.
Adding a link to a page on your site

Ah, but what if you want to link to a page on your site? The smartest way to do that is to use a function here in the editor -- the "Insert Link to Page" at the top. Highlight your text and click that button.
Find your page

The search page has a variety of ways you can find the page you want to link to. If you know the page name, you can use the first field to do a keyword search. You can search by date, page type, and other page details. Or you can use the sitemap on the left to just find it.
Once you find the right page, click the the name and the search window will close. Your highlighted text should now be a link to that page in your site.
When you're done, click Update and your link will be added.
Add your text content

First of all, add your content block. This should include both the text that you want to turn into anchor links and the content that the links should jump down the page to.
Add your anchors

Head down the content area till you get to where you'll want to place your anchors. This is where the content will jump TO. Place the cursor at the beginning of the area you're linking to, then click the "anchor" icon in the toolbar.
An overlay will prompt you for an anchor name. Make sure you give them names (without spaces) that you'll remember later.
Add your links

Once you've added all your anchors, it's time to link to them. Highlight the first item on your list of links and click the link button.
Find your anchor name

You'll see a drop-down called "Anchors". Use this menu to select the proper anchor. Don't change any of the other fields here. Click Update.
Repeat the last step and this one for each item on your list until they are all made into links. When you're done, click "Add."
Note: If you're still logged in as an admin, your anchor links may look like they're jumping down too far because they're hidden behind the menu panel at the top of the page. You may need to log out entirely to test your anchor links out properly.
Comments:
Word, and to some degree Open Office, has a tendency to add "extra unnecessary" code when being pasted directly into your concrete5/tinyMCE online editor. You can see this when you click on the HTML button in the editor. Compare and contrast with text you type directly into the editor to see the difference in the HTML. If you've activated Advanced/Office mode for the tinyMCE editor on the backend Dashboard -->Sitewide Settings -->Content Toolbars (or Rich Text Editor in the latest version of C5) there will be a button on the editor in the upper left hand side with a little "W" on it. Click this button for a place to paste the Word material. The text won't translate perfectly and still won't be completely up to standards but it will be a significant improvement over before. Why do this you might ask? Because some Word code can cause some browsers not to display your content or even crash them. Believe me, I've seen it happen. It also gives you more flexibility because changes made to the CSS on a site wide basis (for example, make all bold text red) can be made instantly. Straight Word code will need to be updated on a page by page basis which is really time consuming in the future and a big pain. All in all, better to type directly into the editor itself then copy into Word for a hardcopy. If you know some HTML it's actually better to code up in an external editor and cut n'paste directly into c5/tinyMCE's editor. However, I know this isn't always practical for many people so this is a compromise solution.

Anyone know why the Add/Edit Content block is not working for me? All other blocks seem to function and look as they're supposed to.
Would sure appreciate some help on this one as I've spent hrs and hrs trying to find the problem.
really good idea for a feature request tho. ;)

I had this same issue, then I realized someone had used php's header function in /single_pages/page_not_found.php to get a site map page to load for 404s. I took this out and tiny_mce is behaving again. Maybe see if something similar is happening for you?
