Link an image to a section? (simple navigation)

mbantjes · 2006-02-06 00:28:01

This has got to be dead simple, but I can’t figure it out.

I have a navigation bar, made of images meant to link to each section (providing a list of excerpts from that section)

Following the information here (http://textpattern.com/faq/116/how-do-i-change-the-appearance-of) I thought it would be simply

<a href=”/section1/”>section1</a>

But that gives me a “page not found” error.

???

I don’t understand your problem. WHat’s your code?

mbantjes · 2006-02-06 01:04:52

Whoops, the code turned into code
It would basically be …

[a href=”/section1/”] [img src=“images/section1.gif” /] [/a]

???
What I’m asking is what is the code to link an image (or text, for that matter) to a section list?

I figured this out by generating an automatic list of section links with:

txp:section_list wraptag=“ul” break=“li” /

then viewing my home page, reading the source code, and stealing what it generated for those links to use for my image links.

It is:

[a href=“http://wwww.site-name.com/index.php?s=section1”] [img src=“images/section1.jpg” /] [/a]

Ok, the URL varies with the URL scheme in the admin/prefs tabs. If you have a decent hosting, you could use /section/article as URL for example.

Umm … I don’t see a URL Scheme in the Admin Prefs (or advanced Prefs) … but it’s allright. My solution may not be elegant, but it works.

Yep, it’s called “permalink mode” in english. Just before logging options.
