I want to make the thumbnail pictures that appear on JA New Pro to be clickable/linkable. How can I accomplish this

I am not entirely certain that this is possible. Also, does not the thumbnail image and the headline of the particular content link back to the article anyway?

Yes Tom. That is exactly what I wanna do. I want the the thumbnail image to link back to the article. Only the title is linking back. The thumbnail is not. http://dakuz.com/joomla

It’s possible – but it requires messing around with the code (which is not always the best idea).

There may be a 3rd party extension that can do the trick though, such as SP Thumbnail

Thanks Tom but seems I didnt explain my problem well. Basically, I want a code change on how to make the thumbnail images linkable to the article itself. Someone explained it here for an older template: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-news-module-linkable-images/

The problem now is that his explanation does not work with JA NEX. The 3rd party extension you specified will zoom in the thumbnail image and make it bigger.

How is the code different that you cannot adapt the same principle?

I found the file to open which is blog_item.php. In JA NEX, [PHP]<?php if($showimage) echo $row->image; ?>[/PHP]

In his explanation, it is: [PHP]<?php if ($showimage) : ?>
<?php echo $image; ?>
<?php endif; ?>[/PHP]

I have tried every form of alteration but I just cant get it

So the following recommendation did not work?

Open blog_item.php file in templatesja_nexhtmlmod_janews folder, find following code section . . . .

<blockquote><?php if ($showimage) : ?><?php echo $image; ?><?php endif; ?></blockquote>

change to :

<blockquote><?php if ($showimage) : ?>
<a href=”<?php echo $link; ?>”><?php echo $image; ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
</blockquote>

No, that did not work. It actually crashes the entire site.

Hi there,
this should really be a standard feature since everybody tries to click the image 😉

please open templatesja_nexhtmlmod_janewspronexblog_item.php and change line 44 from


<div class="ja-zincontent clearfix">

<?php if($showimage) echo $row->image; ?>
<?php if ( $showcreator || $showdate ) : ?>


to this

<div class="ja-zincontent clearfix">

<?php if($showimage) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo $row->link;?>" title="<?php echo strip_tags($row->title);?>">
<?php echo $row->image; ?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $showcreator || $showdate ) : ?>


With these changes you’ll get the article link on the image.
I’ve added the file for you 🙂

Cheers

Frank

You may bother me 🙂

in the file templatesja_nexhtmlcom_contentcategoryblog_item.php at line 109 change this


<?php if ($image) : ?>
<div class="article-image" style="float:left;">
<?php echo $image ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


to this


<?php if ($image) : ?>
<div class="article-image" style="float:left;">
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid)); ?>">
<?php echo $image ?>
</a>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>


I’ve added the updated file for your convenience :p

Cheers

Frank

PS: That makes 2 bottles :-*

Could you help with something similar on the JA News Featured (@ Sl1-1) static and scrolling? I’m assuming changing mod_janews_featured file but my attempts to adapt it fail.
