Hi,
In Psychologytoday.com they use a slider with 4 images to depict topics. When you click on an image it takes you to a page with post excerpts about each topic.
I think this is a great idea and leads to more time spent on the site.
The question is can this be done with the Newspaper Theme and if so how?
Thank you.
Derek
Hi,
You could use the Slider which comes with the theme but on click it takes you to the article single page. To make it open a custom link you have to modify the code for the module used by the slider and change the source of the title url – http://screencast.com/t/x2DaH2mJycd1 – and the code which adds the images on the slider – http://screencast.com/t/SUGEvdnckuy – http://screencast.com/t/LAdaQoth1f3q
If you replace $this->href with ‘http://www.google.com’ it will work but it’s not a solution, the get_image() function is used on multiple locations and it will affect the modules and the post templates. You have to modify those functions, if you don’t have programming experience i suggest that you hire a professional developer to doit for you. We would have gladly made it for you but for the moment we cannot offer custom work, sorry for this.
Thank you, Emil G.
