Help Needed - Cannot link image to pdf or word document

[courtneymason123]

Hi there,

Wondering if someone can help me? I am trying to link an image to a document, however any time I click the link button or right click the image, it loads up to select a document but does not actually link together. I have tried this on internet explorer and google chrome, but doesn't seem to be working. I've also tried using different images and both pdf and word document versions, please can some advise why this isn't working?

I just tried it in MicroTiny and it works fine. Which editor are you using?

CMS Made Simple™ Admin Console

I assume you're talking about editing a content page with WYSIWYG enabled. Are you using MicroTiny or TinyMCE or something third-party?
What version of CMSMS?

Hi there,

Yes I am, just trying to link an image to open a word/pdf document and there is no feedback and no links being created in when I try to do so using either the WYSIWYG or html coding methods?

Only information I can see regarding versions is CMS Made Simple™ 1.11.4 “Fernandina”

Hope this helps.

That's a reallllly old version, so I wouldn't have any way of testing. It's entirely possible it's something that's been fixed in the six years since that release.

As a short term fix, you could disable the wysiwyg for that page then hand code them in html. It's probably switching back to the wysiwyg that's breaking the links somehow.
