Making external links look like blocks

Hello,

So my organisation publishes in academic journals as well as on our site and I’m having an issue highlighting these external links in a nice way (it’s not an RSS feed issue as discussed here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/grid-with-external-links-content/).

I’ve read on the forum that there’s no way to get external links into blocks, but ideally we’d like the external links to look similar to the way we display self-published research. So for example our self published list looks like this: https://snipboard.io/ponHFM.jpg, using FlexBlock 1.

I’ve tried to sort of recreate it using “image plus text” but I can’t find image alignment options so it looks like of wonky, like this: https://snipboard.io/6ixoyb.jpg.

Are there any ways to get external links to display nicely within the theme? Or any way I can wrangle the image feature to look kind of like the blocks?

Thanks,
Kaitlin

Hi Bettina,

Thanks but you send me a screen shot of the image adjustment in flex blocks, which require I link to posts on our site. I need this image to link to an external website, so I cannot use flex blocks or other TagDiv blocks.

So I am trying to adjust the image in an image + text element, which does not have the same image adjustment options.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kaitlin

Hi Bettina,

Okay thanks, this worked but took some tinkering because I wanted more than one link per line, so I share what I did in case it helps others:

1. Divide row into three columns [or however many modules you want in a row]
2. Add inner row to each column.
3. Divide each inner row into columns as desired.
4. Then add text and image to inner columns.

Cheers,
Kaitlin
