Hi,
JA Content Slider module is supporting linked images to detail article. But I would like to be able to link to anything that the image is linked to from the article. I’ve read the: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/link-images/ . But I couldn’t find the solution, please help me to modify.
Thanks

I am working on a site and wanted the content slider to act more like a slideshow that allows me to link to any part of the website. My first thought was to include a link around an image included in the intro text. But if you follow the above thread you can see that functionality does not exist yet.

I did come up with an acceptable solution, hopefully it will help someone else out there.

The solution is to use an intro text link as a replacement for the title link. The intro text link can be set to link anywhere using an a tag.

Step 1: JA Content Slider settings:

• Set ‘Title’ to Hide.
• Set ‘Show Image’ to Show.

Step 2: To add your images use the core Joomla article intro image feature. Do not use img tag in the intro text.

Step 3: Intro text <blockquote><a href="honey-finder">Honey Finder</a></blockquote> <hr id="system-readmore" />

Step 4: Keep intro html tags from being stripped. ( This is answered on another thread ). Open the modules/mod_jacontentslider/helper.php file Line 718 $row->introtext = SmartTrim::mb_trim ( strip_tags($row->introtext), 0, $maxchars, $doc->_charset ); replace with $row->introtext = SmartTrim::mb_trim ( strip_tags($row->introtext, '<blockquote><a>'), 0, $maxchars, $doc->_charset );

Step 5: Remove image links from content slider ( Also answered in the forum ) Open the modules/mod_jacontentslider/helper.php file, find and remove this code (around line 650) $image = '<a href="' . $link . '" title="" class="ja-image">' . $image . '</a>';

Style the blockquote to your liking and it works like a charm. You will be able to see a working example here.

Note: This modification works on JA Content Slider v2.7.2
