Hosting A Web Tipline

A Web tipline is a publicly accessible web page with a form for entering a tip. Use the following instructions to complete the process of Configuring Tipline Properties.

If modifying an existing tipline, click the edit link associated with the desired tipline as shown on the "Manage Tiplines" Page. It will bring up an "Edit Tipline" form similar to the one shown below. If you are in the process of creating a new tipline, you may already see a form called "New Tipline" which is similar and will serve the same purpose.

Choose A Name

The name you provide will distinguish this tipline from others listed on the "Manage Tiplines" page for your organization.

Identifier

The tipline will be presented as a publicly accessible web page with a form for entering a tip. The identifier specifies a URL path component that will be appended to

https://www.junkipedia.org/tips/

to create a URL for your web form. For example, the identifier fakenews will cause your web form to be hosted at

https://www.junkipedia.org/tips/fakenews

Just to be clear, you would not insert this entire URL into the identifier field. The identifier would simply be

fakenews

in this example.

Heading

The heading identifies your tipline in a way that is appropriate for the tipline type. For example, if the heading is "myheading", a web form tipline type would show "Submit a tip to myheading" at the top of the form that will be shown to the user when adding a tip.
