adding a link to an Image Slider item
Hi all,

We are using Image Slider web part to display images & associated text on our home page.

How would we make that photo or text clickable so the user would be directed to another page in the Kentico CMS.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It is easy - you will create the image link as in any other transformation e.g. like for repeater (writing transformation).

You can use the pre-defined functions to get the image or document URLs.

Thanks!

Is it also possible to make the text that fades in clickable?

Hi,

What is the exact name of the web part? If the web part is using transformations - than yes. It is up to you how you will write the transformation and which HTML markup and how you will use it.

Best regards,

Hi,

I meant the web part name not the web part instance ID - the name is in the brackets. I guess you mean content slider. If so, the web part uses transformations so what I wrote before is still valid.

RE:adding a link to an Image Slider item
Hi,

The web part was not developed by Kentico so it is not officially supported and I do not know nothing about the web part. I am sorry for that but taking a quick view on the documentation available with the web part - transformations are used. So, what is the issue to modify the transformation and add the links as you need? There should not be anything special about adding something new to the transformation. How to write a transformation was mentioned in one of my previous posts.

Could you please describe what the real issue is or, contact the web part developer for more help?

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus
