How would I use locate() in Topic()? \ref doesn't seem to work.

var/mob/M = href_list["shopkeeper"]
if(locate(M) in oview(1,src))



Like that?

Ops, didn't come out right. What I meant was, using locate() in the <a> part of Topic().
e.g.<br/> 
    var/teleportloc = locate(href_list["teleport"])
    if(teleportloc) ref.loc = teleportloc

proc/teleport()
    world << "<a href=?action=teleportloc&teleportloc=[locate(somewhere)]>click</a>"
// what will locate() be replaced with?

You are looking for "teleport" and you have it stored as "teleportloc".

Whoops! Well, that was merely a typing mistake, it still occurs when the code is correct.

You need to post more of your code, including the whole Topic() proc, as well as where it is.

Try this. I've tested it, and it works great.

var/list/telepoint_names = list()

obj     
    telepoint
        New()
            ..()
            var/NUMBER = 1
            var/NAME = "Telepoint"
            while("[NAME]_[NUMBER]" in telepoint_names)
                NUMBER += 1
            src.name = "[NAME]_[NUMBER]"
            telepoint_names += "[NAME]_[NUMBER]"
            return

                var/Y = text2num(href_list["Y"])
                var/Z = text2num(href_list["Z"])
                if((!X) || (!Y) || (!Z))
                    usr << "<font color=red>Error: Invalid location.</font>"
                    return
                usr.loc = locate(X,Y,Z)

                var/turf/loc = locate(href_list["loc"])

I do believe that your problem is that when a user clicks an URL like that, client/Topic is called as opposed to mob/Topic. To get it to call mob/Topic, you must send the src parameter.

mob
    Login()
        ..()
        src << "<a href=?src=\ref[src]&action=teleport&teleportloc=\ref[locate(2,6,1)]>test</a>"
