    On the top slideshow, when you hover there is a copy overlay that is somewhat transparent. The is a “readmore” button at the bottom right. How do you set the links for that button?

    You can change the link by editing the “JA Slideshow2” module. At the very bottom of the “Module Parameters” there is a box called “Description for each item”. The first line of code for each item reads:

    Just replace “#” with the URL you want the link to go to.

    I thought it was going to be something yestertech like that. Thanks for the info.

    How do you go to an off-site URL? For example, if I want the user to be directed to “cnn.com” when he clicks “Read More,” how can I add that? I put in “cnn.com,” but the URL points to http://mysite.com/cnn.com, which is obviously not correct.

    Make sure you type “http://www.cnn.com” instead of just “cnn.com”. The script probably has an if-else statement that assumes you’re linking to a page on your site if you leave off the “http://”.

    I need to re-open this..

    No matter what I use for url=, it defaults to the home page. It also seems I have two instances of ja_slideshow2, I have disabled one of them, use user7 one only.

    I know what I’m doing here wrt to assigning links, and updating , but the links just don’t take. When I look at the source code, it shows:

    urls:[”,”,”,”,”],

    Can someone please try to change their own parameters in this module & let me know if the urls: change in source code..?

    Thanks

    Hi all,

    Fought with this problem for a long time with another template using JA_Slideshow.

    I got mine to work finally. Biggest breakthrough for me was that I set “Show Description” to YES. Without this option set to YES, whatever I put in the “Description Parameters” box wouldn’t work.

    Once I had set the Show Description to YES, I used the following parameter format to create links from the images in the slideshow to internal articles:

    Format Method #1:

    image-name.jpg:caption=Your Caption&url=http://www.yoursite.com/etc.

    In my specific case, I actually left the caption out because it ruined the look of my website. To leave out the caption, I created my description parameters like this:

    image-name.jpg:caption=&url=http://www.yoursite.com/etc.

    Once again, the biggest reason I finally got this to work is because I set Show Description to YES.

    This way of formatting is different than an alternative way of creating the links using this format:

    Format Method #2:


    <h3>Some Header</h3>
    <p>Some Text</p>

    I could not get this formatting method to work, but I didn’t test it exhaustively.

    I can delete all of my code from desription parameters and all images and info are still there, could the site be pulling from somewhere else?

    I have mine set to yes show description, but the links still do not work? I can delete the whole line of code and nothing happens?
