Link Uploaded Image (banner) to URL

Hi Tina,

Hi Tina,

One approach could be to use the info1 field of your banner upload (the one used for “Title” in upload field “advanced options”) to enter the URL. Then in your viewer add a hyperlink where you want the banner to show. Use info1 for the URL and display the image where the link text would normally go (code below).

NOTES: You’ll want to use a if statement with the preg_match function to make sure that if there’s no http:// in your url field, the link will still work.

You’ll also want to include some code to limit the amount of banners in a row before a new row is automatically created.

I'd suggest using a thumbnail to display the banner, and setting the maximum vertical (and horizontal) pixel dimensions to suit the page that you're setting up. This way, your client can't inadvertently "break" the page by uploading a giant image.

Here’s the code:
<table>
<tr>
<?php foreach ($your_tableRecords as $record): ?><?php foreach ($record['lbanner_image'] as $upload): ?>

<td>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['info1'] ?>"><img src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['thumbWidth'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['thumbHeight'] ?>" alt="" style="border:hidden" /></a>
<</td>

<?php endforeach ?><?php endforeach ?>
</tr>
</table>

There are recipes for all of these kinds of implementations in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com

Hope that gets you started,

Thanks Jerry! I'll try that out!
