pull a single link into a page

daver89 · 2008-10-20 08:02:09

Hello,

I am looking for more control over links.

I currently have something like the following in my page template:-

<a href=“http://www.bla.com”><img src=“link to image” /></a>.

what i want to do is have the link managed in the cms but there doesn’t seem to be a <txp:link id=“1” /> type prefix.

any help is much appreciated.

dave.

Create a category in the Categories tab then attach that category to the link in the Links tab. Use the <txp:linklist category="whatever" form="newForm" /> tag to call the link category.

In order to use an image anchor you will need to create a “link type” form similar to the example here replacing the <txp:link_name /> tag with your image tag but that would only work for a single link. If you have several links replace the <txp:link_name /> tag with the <txp:link_description /> tag instead and place the <txp:image /> tag with the appropriate “id” attribute into the description box for each link. That does of course mean that you can’t have descriptions but hey, you can’t have everything. ;)
