Hi there,

just tried to make the image in the slider a clickable link, the same as the text in the slider

by

going into easyslider.php.

but seem to have made some error.

I replaced<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

and replace it withID, ‘slide_link’, TRUE); ?>”><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

as written by in one of the forum topic but have totally got it wrong and now get this error when I click on the site:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘=’ in /home/tjsconz/public_html/wp-content/themes/Triton/easyslider.php on line 10

please help,

thanks in advance

Replace this line:

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

with:

<a href="<?php get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>

okay. remove everything from easyslider.php and paste this:

<?php $option =  get_option('trt_options'); ?>

<div id="slider" class="easyslider">

<ul>

<?php $loop = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'slider', 'posts_per_page' => $option['trt_num_sld'] ) ); ?>

<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

<li>

<div class="slider-content">

<?php the_title( '<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE) . '" title="' . the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) . '" rel="bookmark">', '</a></h2>' ); ?>

<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>

</div>

<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'slide_link', TRUE); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?></a>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</ul>

</div>

thats great its fixed that issue and also the pic comes up as a link but only part or the pic and not the whole. i mean shouldnt the whole pic be a link and not just a part on the pic. sorry for sound so vague but what i am asking is that no matter where the mouse is on the slider pic it should be treated as a link … is that possible?

thanks again for your patience. you are truely a legend

its happening because the slider title is wrapped around with a box called “slider_content” and it cannot be made clickable. you can reduce the size of it by Adding these lines to stylesheet:

.slider-content{width:350px!important; height:50px!important;}

thats great thanks for that.
