Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to make two items in the slideshow.

http://thewavecollection.com

I want the slideshow to look just like it does on the demo, but I need each of the two slideshow items to link to an anchor on another page.

1. Should be “Rings category” with a link to http://thewavecollection.com/jewelry#rings with the description of “Visit our Ring Collection, Click Here”

2. Should be “Bracelets category” with a link to http://thewavecollection.com/jewelry#bracelets with the description of “Visit our Bracelet Collection, Click Here”

I don’t care if I use two articles or two images, I just need it to go to those two links and look just like the demo slideshow.

Thank you!

UPDATE

I created two articles, one for each category. Then I added them to the slideshow. Everything is working, EXCEPT for some reason if you click on the right half of the article description it does not link at all. But if you click on the left of the slideshow article it does link properly? I don’t know what that would be, but that is a BIG issue.

Update

The link only extends to the end of the title, so I could make the title longer, but that seems silly. Seems like the link should extend the entire description area.

Update

If I put the read more in the slideshow description, it links to the home page only.

FINAL UPDATE 🙂

I am now using articles and it looks and works fine EXCEPT for the read more that is not linking anywhere except he home page. If you could get that working, everything else is fine.

STILL A PROBLEM: Now it only links to the one article and not the other. Both link to the same article.

OK, so the fix for this is quite simple after you figure out what to do:laugh:

Open /modules/mod_jaslideshow2/tmpl/default_article.php

Change line 33 from: <a <?php echo $target; ?> class=”readon readmore” href=”<?php echo $row->link; ?>”>

To: <a <?php echo $target; ?> class=”readon readmore” href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>”>

For those of us with less than perfect skills when catching “what’s different”, you need to change the $row to $item and that’s it!

Probably should get that fixed ASAP.
