Image Summary Links	Can't Post

I want to make the thumbnails in the summary pages clickable and want them to lead to the actual article.

I have used this code, but it doesn't work. What would be the correct form?




<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$>
<tr><td><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="image_caption">$file.caption$</span></td></tr>
</table>



<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$>
<tr><td><a href="$published.articlePage.url$"><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></a></td></tr>
</table>




Thanks

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for your post. Smile

Are you setting this link up to work in conjunction with the Summary Image tutorial? Here's the link just to be sure:

http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/doc.cgi?/articlemanager2/tutorials/summaryImages.html

If this is the case, you'll want to use this code on your template file instead of the code supplied in the tutorial:

Code

<!-- templateCell : article.summaryImage.row --> 
<a href="$published.articlePage.url$"> 
    <img src="$file.webUrl$" width="$file.width$" align="$file.align$"> 
</a> 
<!-- /templateCell : article.summaryImage.row --> 
 
<table> 
<tr><td><!-- template insert : $article.summaryImage$ --></td> 
<td>$article.summary$</td></tr> 
</table>

Let us know if you have any other questions about this!

I was not following the other tutorial, I was changing the code on my own. So I don't know how useful what you posted up there is to me.

Hi Harvey,

Thanks for your reply. Smile

Right now it looks like the code you're using is only set up to link to the full article page when nothing has been entered for the image caption. To make the image link regardless of whether there's a caption for the image or not, you'll want to use this code instead:

Code

<!-- templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia --> 
 
<!-- templateIf : $file.caption$ ne '' --> 
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$> 
<tr><td><a href="$published.articlePage.url$"><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></a></td></tr> 
<tr><td><span class="image_caption">$file.caption$</span></td></tr> 
</table> 
<!-- /templateIf --> 
 
<!-- templateIf : $file.caption$ eq '' --> 
<table border=0 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=0 width=$file.width$ align=$file.align$> 
<tr><td><a href="$published.articlePage.url$"><img src="$file.webUrl$" height="$file.height$" width="$file.width$" border=1></a></td></tr> 
</table> 
<!-- /templateIf --> 
 
<!-- /templateCell : pageDefault.embeddedMedia -->

Give this a try and let us know if you have any further questions!

That did not work either. I got an unknown placeholder error.

Hi Harvey,

It's tough to tell what might be going wrong here without looking at your installation directly - would you mind submitting a second-level support request for this?

I look forward to hearing from you. Smile
