Hiyas,

How is it possible to make the image be the link - rather than a text over a background image - in the rotating banner module?

..Or am I being too optimistic about the possibility..?

Cheers & Thanks!

Hi,
I would read this carefully http://drupal.org/node/644164.

Afterwards, please edit your post and move it to the "Post Installation" forum. That's where folks discuss configuration issues. Or post a question of the issue queue for the "rotating banner module" :)

Hope that helps.
Thank you for sharing:)

On the content type side include a field called "link". It can either be a text field or a field using the link module, which provides some additional validation and meta tag features. Also add your slide image. Then create a couple pieces of content.

Using the Views and Views Slideshow module you can then build a view that has the link field and the image. Be sure to hide the link field from display. Then, on the image field, twirl down "Rewrite results" then check "Output this field as a link" Below that (as long as you put the link field first) you will see a token representation of your link, something like "[link]'. Add [link] to the "Link path" field. Save the view and you are done.

PS I see you were asking specifically about the rotating banner module. I don't use that module. I think you'll find the Views and Views Slideshow modules more customizable.

Thanks for the expansive reply, mcfilms.

Indeed, it seems like your solution is the one to follow. Was initially looking at rotating banner module for a solution to check which way will be better, easier & more appropriate to go..

All the best!
