Newbie: Add URL to content_image tag?

[donteatthat]

Hi there, total newbie here, so I have the content_image tag in a template and great I can select which image i want in the page editor, how the heavens do I add a URL to this image, say for example if its a "go to this page" image?

Thank you for looking,

Simon

Well, there are a number of things you could do.

i.e: something like: <a href="http://somesite.com">{content_image block='image'}</a> would display the image, and link it to that url.

<a href="{cms_selflink href='home'}">{content_image block='image'}</a> would generate a link to your home page and wrap it around the selected image.

{content_image block='image' assign='foo'}{cms_selflink page='home' text=$foo} should probably do about the same thing.

You could get funky with javascript.

There are a thousand variations, and it all depends on what you are trying to achieve.

Hi there thank you for your reply.

I guess what Im trying to do is something like..

{content_image block='image' url_target='http://www.mysite.com'}

so when you're in the page editor, not only can you select an image but also what link it will go to?

Thanks,

Simon
