Making Box Images Clickable

[znagle 0]

Is there a simple way to make box images clickable links? Thanks, Zach

If you use this code for your section.boxes.php file then yes. I've created a new option in the code below. ` <?php /* Section: PageLines Boxes Author: Andrew Powers Description: Creates boxes and box layouts Version: 1.0.0 */ class PageLinesBoxes extends PageLinesSection { function __construct( $registered_settings = array() ) { $name = __('PageLines Boxes', 'pagelines'); $id = 'boxes'; $default_settings = array( 'description' => 'Inline boxes on your page that support images and media.

Thanks for taking the time to add that. Unfortunately I'm getting this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home2/futurera/public_html/wp-content/themes/platformpro/sections/boxes/section.boxes.php on line 52 Any ideas?

[znagle 0]

Nevermind, I found the error. Line 52 should be: "cb" => "<input type="checkbox" />", Now it works. Thanks!

After examining the code you modified, I've tried to add image links to banners too by editing section.banners.php. I have the meta option added and the links functioning, but I'm having trouble styling the link correctly. Here is the code I added:

'banner_link' 		=> array(
										'version' => 'pro',
										'type' => 'text',
										'inputlabel' => 'Image Link',
										'exp' => 'Enter a URL link for your icon'
									),

I believe the problem is in here:

	<div class="banner-content">
									ID, 'icon_link', true);?>">ID, 'the_banner_image', true);?>" style="width:<?php echo $banner_align;?>%">
										<?php the_content(); ?>
										<?php edit_post_link(__('<small>[Edit Banner]</small>', 'pagelines'), '', '');?>
									</div>
	[/code]

Bumping for developer support, please bump again yourself. Thanks, Bryan

[znagle 0]

Bump. Is this possible?

[cmunns 16]

It would be the same as the boxes. Remember that if the option array is banner_link you have to replace what used to be "icon_link" to "banner_link when creating the PHP. In the above code you still are using icon_link

[seanbaugh 0]

Ive tried this as well - and Im also getting the same parse error as above. Ive replaced it with ...

"cb" => "<input type="checkbox" />",

but does not work. Any ideas?

[ralphgriffiths 0]

Hi, sorry to back track, but is it possible for the code illiterate amongst your clientele to have this function? I tried to follow the steps above but have absolutely no way of making it work. Can someone provide a walk through of how I can apply the function? Thanks a lot.

[cmunns 16]

Basically we added this ` 'icon_link' => array( 'version' => 'pro', 'type' => 'text', 'inputlabel' => 'Image Link', 'exp' => 'Enter a URL link for your icon' ) ); ` to this portion of code in the section.boxes.php You can use the same option, however for banners as well. Here is where it is placed in the context of the file ` /* Meta Options */ /* Create meta fields for the post type */ $this->meta_array = array( 'the_box_icon' => array( 'version' => 'pro', 'type' => 'image_upload', 'inputlabel' => 'Box Image', 'exp' => 'Upload an image for the box.
Depending on your settings this image will be used as an icon, or splash image; so desired size may vary.' ), 'icon_link' => array( 'version' => 'pro', 'type' => 'text', 'inputlabel' => 'Image Link', 'exp' => 'Enter a URL link for your icon' ) ); ` Now we have to add the link and option we created in the section template function of the file. ` <?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'the_box_icon', true)):?>

<?php endif;?> ` Above is how it looks without the added link option. You'll see the get_post_meta function with "the_box_icon" as a parameter. That parameter has to match with the option created. So adding the link in there would be like so ` <?php if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'the_box_icon', true)):?>

<?php endif;?> ` Which you can see links up "icon_link" from the meta option and passes as a parameter into the get_post_meta function. Hopefully this is more clear.

It is. Thanks a lot for your well thought out response. I'll give it another shot.

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Has anyone had their problem resolved by the replies above yet? Thanks, Bryan

[surfcity 0]

Where is the section.boxs.php Do I have to create one?

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Appearance > Editor > section.boxes.php Thanks, Bryan

[surfcity 0]

I still don't see it

[Kate 3]

Jason - If you're not seeing it in the WordPress visual editor, you can access it directly through your "themes" folder. Inside of your "platformpro" theme folder, you'll find it under the sections->boxes directory.

I'm new to this and I get this error. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /wp-content/themes/platformpro/sections/boxes/section.boxes.php on line 329

[Kate 3]

Jason - Could you paste that portion of the code here, please? Thanks
