I’m using the url=”http://www.urlpath.com” parameter in the ja_sideshow module, but it doesn’t seem to work. It always links to the same page (ie “#”). Has anyone got this to work properly?

Hello,

I have it working on a couple of sites. Here is the code that I put in the “Descriptions Parameter” –

Webmain1.jpg:caption=<h3>2009 Calendar Now Available.</h3><p>The 2009 Season begins at Pacheco State Park with a 3-4 hour sprint race for beginners and a 8+ hour event for more experienced racers.&url=http://abcd-efg.com/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_dtregister/Itemid,54/</p>

Hope this helps,
Regards,
Mihir Chhatre.

Thanks — Was that on this template? I couldn’t get that to work. As far as I can tell my code should work, based on what the userguide instructions:

<span>Award winning Ribs, Pulled Pork, Chicken, and other southern comfort foods for dine-in or take out</span>

Hello Troy,

Did you notice the difference between your code and my code?(copy paste in notepad)

My Code:

Webmain1.jpg:caption=<h3>2009 Calendar Now Available.</h3><p>The 2009 Season begins at Pacheco State Park with a 3-4 hour sprint race for beginners and a 8+ hour event for more experienced racers.&url=http://abcd-efg.com/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_dtregister/Itemid,54/</p>

Your Code:


<span>Award winning Ribs, Pulled Pork, Chicken, and other southern comfort foods for dine-in or take out</span>


My Analysis –
1. I dont use any . I have directly put in the image name, which is based in the default folder.

Webmain1.jpg:caption=
2. I have used h3 to give the caption, and the p element to get the paragraph below it.

<h3>2009 Calendar Now Available.</h3><p>The 2009 Season begins at Pacheco State Park with a 3-4 hour sprint race for beginners and a 8+ hour event for more experienced racers.
3. After the description and before the p element ends, I have attached it with an ampersand with the url.

..... .racers.&url=http://abcd-efg.com/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_dtregister/Itemid,54/</p>

Hope this helps,
Mihir Chhatre.

Thanks for the help. I got it working with a few modifications. It wouldn’t work for me if I put the URL inside the closing <p> tag, and also the URL broke if I used the index.php?option, etc. If I use the SEF URL it works fine (I used relative URLs)

So here is my code:

3meatCRP_WS.jpg:caption=<span>Award Winning Ribs, Pulled Pork, Chicken, and southern comfort foods for dine-in or take out.</span>&url=pats-menu

This is obviously completely different than in the userguide, so hopefully this helps
