Make the title and image link to the node. (Fixed)

I hope you use version 6.x-1.x-rc6.

The l() functions makes the link of the read more button.
First parameter is the link text, the second parameter is the URL to link to

For linking the title to the node you can use

        // add slide_title variable
        if (isset($result->node_title)) {
          $slider_items[$key1]['slide_title'] =  l($result->node_title, 'node/' . $result->nid);
        }

For linking the image to the node you can use

        if (module_exists('imagecache') && is_array(imagecache_presets()) && $vars['imgcache_slide'] <> '<none>'){
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] = 
            '<a href="node/' . $result->nid . '">' . theme('imagecache', 
                  $vars['imgcache_slide'], 
                  $filepath,
                  $result->node_title) . '</a>';
          }
          else {          
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] = 
              '<a href="node/' . $result->nid . '"><img src="' . base_path() . $filepath . 
              '" alt="' . $result->node_title . 
              '"/></a>';     
          }          
        }

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

@ logicalriot

Did you solve your issue?
If you did, can you set the status to fixed.
added tags

Where do you put the code to be able to link the image as well? Is it in place of something?

I've been trying to figure that out and get errors that keep the site from showing.

You need to replace:

          if (module_exists('imagecache') && is_array(imagecache_presets()) && $vars['imgcache_slide'] <> '<none>'){
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] = 
            theme('imagecache', 
                  $vars['imgcache_slide'], 
                  $filepath,
                  $result->node_title);
          }
          else {          
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_image'] = 
              '<img src="' . base_path() . $filepath . 
              '" alt="' . $result->node_title . 
              '"/>';     
          }          
        }

I copied also the last } which maybe causes the issue

Yea, that's the part I replaced. And I get an error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/username/public_html/sites/all/themes/lininger/template.php on line 46

Can you attach your template.php file?, so I can help you better.

The code in #1 missed a quote (') after the end of the first <a> tag. Sorry for the mistake. Changed it in #1.

So your template.php becomes like the attached file.

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

The code for image in comment #1 works nicely. But it links to unaliased URL. Is it possible to link to an aliased path? Example:

İnstead of "node/34", I need "content/title"

Thanks...

#13

You can have a look at the issue http://drupal.org/node/513362

Hope this helps you further please let me know.

The code on the page you have given works perfect! Thanks for your generous help ppblaauw...

Welcome.

Changed issue title.

Just a suggestion:

I already did what is told here and it works OK. But after that, I found another solution with just CSS. I just enlarged the area of the "read more" button to include the whole image area with changing the paddings, margins and positions etc. The class I wrote CSS code for is:

div.ddblock-cycle-plain-list30l div.slide-read-more-horizontal a{
}

Now the whole area on the image including the title, describtion etc. links to the node...

Hope it helps someone...
