Hi All

I would like to edit my blog settings so that clicking the blog image links to said blog post. (would like to see this standard)

I've been searching menu, category and article settings as well as tutorials here with no joy.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
Alison

Hi Alison

For which of our templates would you like to make this amendment?

Good morning Ciaran

I'm currently using Hayley for this new project but would like to go back and do the same for my first project which uses Grace. (and any other projects I do I'm really liking your templates)

Thanks so much,
Alison

Thank you Alison

Looking at the Joomla code it looks by enabling Linked Titles on your blog, you will also link the image.

I notice with our Hayley template there is a small CSS issue where the link is hidden behind the image. To resolve this simply add the following to the Custom CSS field of your template settings...

.item-image a {
z-index: 1;
position: relative;
display: block;
}

Thanks Ciaran

Pasted that in and cleared cache and refreshed but it doesn't seem to be working.

I have several other things I wanted to ask about. Should I do it in this thread or start separate ones?

Thanks
Alison

Hi Alison

Strangely I am unable to see the suggested CSS in your website source. Have you multiple template styles? If so have you tried adding the CSS to each style?

Ideally, if you could create a separate post for each that would be great.

Hi Ciaran

I did add the CSS to the custom CSS in the template and also in the second template style only being used on the other links page.

Will do on the separate posts for other questions. :)

Hi Alison

Rather than adding the CSS to the Custom Code field, could you add it to the Custom CSS field instead (Custom CSS tab).

Done and while it is now doing something it takes it to the home page vs the appropriate blog post. Closer :)

Hi Alison

Your articles are linking correctly however it appears you have some of your homepage modules are assigned to these articles? [Articles -> Velit esse molestie] for example does not have the issue.

Hi Ciaran

Beats me on that since I haven't edited your original setting on blogs/articles yet short of linking titles.

Thank you Alison

I have created a hidden menu with the affected article. Giving an article a menu item like this allows Joomla to correctly set the module assignment to that article.

Good morning Ciaran

I have no idea what you mean. I don't run into this on other templates. Does this mean I have to link every article in a hidden menu to get linking images? I have a boat load of articles to add and sure don't want this kind of extra task for every article I have to add.

Hi

After having a chance to get in to admin. I see your "hidden menu" however it is not hidden it is in the footer of the home page. The previous menu there I had named bottom has been removed.

I don't understand but further a not hidden hidden menu cannot replace the menu I had placed on the site.

Hi Alison

This issue is not template related but just a particular;y frustrating aspect of Joomla that is probably best explained here... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9721430/home-page-modules-showing-on-articles-in-joomla

I would recommend installing and setting up Advanced Module Manager from Regular Labs. It very much simplifies module assignment and will give you a lot more direct control. Would you like me to install and set up Advanced Module Manager for you?

I'm not sure what Advanced Mod Mgr has to do with image linking.

OK maybe I miss understand. I thought we have already amended the images to link to your articles? I am suggesting installing Advanced Module Manager so you dont have to mess with hidden menus (https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_control_module_display_when_linking_to_an_article_with_no_menu_item).

Hi Ciaran

Yes we did deal with the image linking.

Why I'm confused is hidden menus that aren't actually hidden but displayed on my home page and also I've never had to have hidden menus to have linked images in my templates with JooStrap.

Sorry this bit isn't clicking for me :) Thanks for your patience.
