Linking from Full-Width Feature Slider

[sririe 0]

I saw a previous support post - in which it was said that you could tweak the php to allow one to link from the media image in the feature slider to a page. So on my feature slider page (platform pro) I have uploaded a media image rather than using the background. However, I have no clue when it comes to php and when looking at line 321 in the php file - I don't know where to start pasting the info that "cmunns" had entered in his post. Can I get a little more clarification - and perhaps have a little bit more info so I know what I need to replace - so maybe show a before and after snippet of the php file so I can figure it out? Thanks!

Can you link the post you're referring to?

Now I can't seem to find the original post to which I originally referred. Here are two others that are similar. http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic.php?id=5748 http://www.pagelines.com/forum/topic/7109 It just seems this is a feature that should be easily implemented. But I cannot figure it out for the life of me. Any suggestions?

Hey Spencer, Are you looking for a dynamic solution, where every feature would list to a page? Or more of a feature by feature basis? If it's the latter, have you considered adding the link in the HTML box, and then just editing the CSS to make the link cover the entire feature?

I basically have 4 slide images that each would point to a different page of the site. I guess you could say that I am more of a graphics guy than a programmer. So not exactly sure how to edit the CSS to make the link cover the feature. How hard is that to do?

You will probably have to edit more than just CSS so it isn't the easiest thing, but you also wouldn't have to write any custom stuff either. Do you have a linnk?

I can't find the forum thread you were referring to before, but this might be what you're looking for: http://xavisys.com/css-trick-turning-a-background-image-into-a-clickable-link/ Is this something similar to what you found?

Yes I guess that is the end result that I am trying to get to. I was just hoping there was a simple way to accomplish that considering that I am a graphics guy not a programmer - hence the reason for buying platform in the first place. what is the easiest way for me to implement something like that?

[timlinson 3]

This is one way to do it. For each of the 4 features, go to the edit page and do this:

• you said you made them media images.. remove the media image and change back to background image
• in the Feature Text Position dropdown menu, select "Full Width Image or Media - No Text"
• in the Feature Media HTML field, put this: ``
• save

Finally add this to PlatformPro > Settings > Custom Code > Custom CSS: `#feature_slider .fmedia a { display:block; width:100%; height:100%; }`
