Just started a project using Rutile and I noticed that the images that are showing up in JA News FP are not showing their links. IE>. I made a new article which is really nothing more then an image. I linked the image which is fine in the “article” but the link does not follow through to the front page inside of JA News FP.

Is there any way to make the images that JA News FP pulls to front page linkable?

Hi,

Please open modulesmod_janews_fptmplheadline_fp.php file, at about line 48, find following code:

[PHP]<?php echo $image; ?>[/PHP]

and change to:

[PHP]<a href=”<?php echo $link;?>”><?php echo $image; ?> </a>[/PHP]

Well this did work if you want the image to “Link” to the article not to what the “Image” itself is linked to.

HI nefar, this is not possible without a major re-writing of helper.php.

You see helper.php strips the image out of the article and places it in the image placeholder in JA News. It places ONLY the <img> in this placeholder and not any <a> (link) it may be in.

This works for me.
At least for the frontpage.
How can I make the image linkable/clickable in Category Blog Layout.
I think I have seen an extension for this but I cannot find it anymore 🙁
It makes it more userfriendly when you click the image to go to the article IMO.

Thanks
