What is it?Once you have embedded an image onto a page (view tutorial 1a. Embedding Images) in your website you can control the parameters of the image to make it LINK to an external web address when clicked. By using the engine code provided any image can link to any web address! Tutorial: Images and External LinksStep 1 Login to your CMS area for your site. Step 2 Click the tab [Edit] to edit your page, locate the “Home” page as this is where we previously embedded an image. Step 3 Find the line of text that is calling the image: {butterfly.jpg}
Step 4 Now to make the image link to an external web address add square brackets [ and ] around the entire code, like this: [{butterfly.jpg}]
Step 5 After the closing brace } input two equal signs ==, like this: [{butterfly.jpg}==]
And then after the 2 equals add the full address of your desired location, for instance we will make the butterfly image link to Google.com, the code would look like this: [{butterfly.jpg}==http://www.google.com]
Image/External linking example:
Please note: when linking to external websites make sure to use the full URL, for example include the http:// before the www. of the address. As before, once you have inputted the Image code click [Save changes] and then have a look at your website’s Home page. Please note: you will need to refresh the page of your website to view the changes. |
