Hi @stuarta60,

Current version of jaslideshow2 module, you can’t make the image link when the images are taken from articles. however you can change some code as following to do it.
– Open “helper.php” on location “modules/mod_jaslideshow2/”, edit “renderImage” function as


/**
* render image from image source.
*/
function renderImage( $title, $image, $params, $width = 0, $height = 0, $attrs='', $returnURL=false ) {
....
}


To


/**
* render image from image source.
*/
function renderImage( $title, $image, $params, $width = 0, $height = 0, $attrs='', $returnURL=false, $item_link = "" ) {
....
if(!empty($item_link))
{
$image = '<a href="'.$item_link.'" target="_blank">'.$image.'</a>';
}
// clean up globals
return $image;
}


– Open “default_articles.php” file in folder “modules/mod_jaslideshow2/tmpl/”, change two line code


<?php echo $helper->renderImage ($item->title, $item->mainImage, $params, $mainWidth, $mainHeight); ?>
//and
<?php echo $helper->renderImage ( $item->title, $item->thumbnail, $params,
$thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, 'align="left"' ); ?>


To


<?php echo $helper->renderImage ($item->title, $item->mainImage, $params, $mainWidth, $mainHeight, "", false, $item->link );?>
//and
<?php echo $helper->renderImage ( $item->title, $item->thumbnail, $params,
$thumbWidth, $thumbHeight, 'align="left"' , false, $item->link ); ?>

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Can you confirm exactly where the end of the code in helper.php is where you currently have “….” because the changed helper.php code above is alot shorter than the original and when I replaced it on the site it went to a white page.

Thanks 🙂
Or if it would be easier can you upload the updated helper.php and default_articles.php files here for me to overwrite the originals?

That’s great, thank you!:cool:

Is there anyway to make the whole image clickable instead of just the bottom desccription bar?

Hi @stuarta60,
Do you want whole image clickable next & prev as the navigation bar?

Hello,

I have the settings not to show the description bar so the sildeshow is just my images then if you click on where the description should be then it clicks into the article.

If possible, I want to make it so that it will click into the article no matter what part of the image you click?

Thanks

Dear @stuarta60,

I checked your website, and see your problems are due on each slide item has slide mask block,so you can mouse over on image when over on mask block. To fix there problems please add new style on end of file “mod_jaslideshow2.css” in folder “templates/pearls_of_wizdom/css/”


.ja-slide-mask {
display:none;

}

I’ve done the above and I love the way you can now click the image and it loads up the article but is it possible that by clicking the image it can go directly to a link (opened in the same window) instead of it just going straight to the article?

Kind Regards

Jamie

Please try to change this code:

$image = ‘<a href=”‘.$item_link.'” target=”_blank”>’.$image.'</a>’;

to

$image = ‘<a href=”‘.$item_link.'”>’.$image.'</a>’;

in “helper.php” on location “modules/mod_jaslideshow2/ it will go directly to the link (open in the same window).

Hi – I’ve tried amending the helper.php file but nothing seems to have changed – im not sure if i’m being clear but basically you click on the text or main picture – I want this to link straight to another page within the website and not to an article if that is possible.

Kind Regards

Jamie

There’re many articles so you want all them link to one site?

No I have a business directory and the article in the menu shows the business directory but when someone clicks onto the item in the slideshow I want it to take them straight to the business directory page instead of the article explaining about the business directory which I only created for the slideshow.

Thanks

Jamie

OK I understand your idea clearly now: you want that when clicking to article in Slideshow it redirects to article’s category (Business).

However I couldn’t give the best solution if I don’t know your site. Please give us the login information FTP/Admin account to your support ticket GQH-104-26447 in http://support.joomlart.com. We’ll check for you. Thanks.
