Hi

Can someone tell me if this is doable....

I want to be able to submit a URL in the captions text box and it to show as a clickable button instead of the usual text under the picture.

I tried adding background-image: url("images/visit-website.png"); to span.itemImageCaption to test if image would show and it didn't

Thanks
Claire

Hello,

Is there a link to this issue?

Hi Krikor

The link to my website is dailydealsblog.co.uk

What I'm trying (and failing) to achieve is the images caption to be an image/button and instead of adding text in the K2 backend, I'd add a link and then on the front end it would show as a clickable button.

Ok I'm half way there (unbelievably)

<span class="itemImageButton"><?php ($item->image_caption); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $item->image_caption; ?>" title="Visit Website" target="_blank">
<img src="images/visit-website.png" alt="Get Deal" />
</a>
</span>

Works perfectly in category_item.php and tag.php

In item.php this is almost it:
<span class="itemImageCaption"><?php echo $this->item->image_caption; ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this ->item->image_caption; ?>" title="Visit Website" target="_blank">
<img src="images/visit-website.png" alt="Get Deal" />
</a>
</span>

Except the text entered is showing as well as the linkable button

Got it thanks :)

Got it thanks :)

Nice to know that you got it working. Kudos :)

Here's the code in case anyone ever needs it.

In tag.php

<span class="itemImageButton"><?php ($item->image_caption); ?>
<a href="<?php echo $item->image_caption; ?>" title="Visit Website" target="_blank">
<img src="images/visit-website.png" alt="Get Deal" />
</a>
</span>

(Obviously use your own class)

In item.php and Category_item.php

<span class="itemImageCaption"><?php $this->item->image_caption; ?>
<a href="<?php echo $this ->item->image_caption; ?>" title="Visit Website" target="_blank">
<img src="images/visit-website.png" alt="Get Deal" />
</a>
</span>

and
Will not return any data since nothing echoed. I do not think you need this code.

It's all working ok?

There won't be an issue but you should remove these two lines.
