link a slide/image to an external page

Permalink Browser Info Environment March 20, 2011 at 11:17 PM

hi there.

this is a very cool slider indeed!

wondering if there is the ability to link a slide to an external page - we are hoping to use it for a portfolio where the image clicks away to a different website. At the moment we can only see how to link the image to an internal page of the c5 installation.

thanks

Hi,

I will include this feature in next the update. I think if the user adds an attribute text to an image containing a URL, the addon will automatically take this one. Do you think it's a good idea?

Thanks, Seb

hi, i think it would be ideal if a person could input either an external url or internal link when they assign a clickthrough on the slide.

Hi All
Just in case anyone wants a temp workaround for this -- here's ours.
1. Create a new page attribute -- we called ours redirect_url.
Make it a text field. Put the url you wish to redirect your
slide to in this field
2. This page will not normally be seen so make it invisible
to autonav, search etc
3 Put the following code in the header of your template

<?php
$redirectUrl = $c->getCollectionAttributeValue('redirect_url');
if(isset($redirectUrl))
{
    header("location: redirectUrl");
}

4. Name the page appropriately
5. Go to your advanced slider and link the image to your redirect
page.
Bow to the deity in thanks for Concrete5

Thanks Prema,

I'm trying to develop the gallery feature to roundabout, then I implement it on other sliders.
A big thank you for the snippets that will certainly help many developers.

Has this been resolved yet? I just purchased the add-on (Feb 2012) and still don't see a way to link to an external page - we wanted one of our "slides" to link to a video on YouTube... but no luck.

Yes, you just need to create a attribute with the handle 'link_url' and apply them to a file !

Let me know !
