Hi!
i'm not using the menu CMSMS can build for a certain website. Instead i'm using buttons like this:
Code: Select all
<a href="home"><img src="home.jpg" border="0"></a>
how can i make CMSMS link this to another page (same template)?

I was about to try when I realized it can't be done.
This is because the button is in HTMLcode IN the template. The template doesn't have a WYSIWYG-editor thus the option is not available. Also, I could insert the buttons as content but this will give editors the possibility to change the buttons and I don't want this to be done by editors, only by designers and in the template.
I hope you get what I'm saying

then go to extensions >> tags and read up on the cms_selflink tag.

Thank you! That is exactly what I need.
But I don't get how I could specify exactly to link.
Old HTML:
Code: Select all
<a href="home"><img src="home.jpg" border="0"></a>
New CMSMStag:
Code: Select all
{cms_selflink page"home"}<img src="home.jpg" border="0">
Does this work? My best guess is not because how could CMSMS know where to stop the link. I mean, it could read that the link needs to start before the image but I don't see how it could know the link only needs to apply to the image itself.
Or am I doing something wrong?

Or you could do it with css:
In your Template:
Code: Select all
<a class="home" href="{cms_selflink href='pagealias'}"></a>
In your Stylesheet:
Code: Select all
.home {
background-color: #xxxxxx; [whatever your bg color is or "transparent"]
background-image: url(/path/to/home.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
height: ??px;
width: ??px;
}
Would that work?

To be honest, the solution of calguy1000 is easier. Though, if your solution is more crossbrowser-compatible or if the calguy1000's solution doesn't work, I'll try yours!
