Hi there,

Is there any way I can change the link on the articles slider images to go to the URL set in "Link A" in the article rather than link directly to the article itself?

Is there some code in the default.php that I could change to get this functionlity to work? If so, could you please let me know what to change / add?

Your help with this is very much appreciated.

Also I think this would be a great feature for this slider to have as a built in option as it expands how it can be used e.g. it could be used to have adverisements on websites that link to external websites not just showcasing articles on the website.

Thanks again for your assistance.

I worked it out

For anyone else who might want to modify this functionality what I did was create a template override for the module then in the detault.php file search for

<a href="<?php echo $item->link;?>" <?php echo ArticlesSliderHelper::parseTarget($options->item_link_target);?>>
<?php $img = ArticlesSliderHelper::getAImage($item, $params);
echo ArticlesSliderHelper::imageTag($img);?>
</a>

and change to:

<a href="<?php $urls = json_decode($item->urls);
echo $urls->urla;?>"
<?php echo ArticlesSliderHelper::parseTarget($options->item_link_target);?>>
<?php $img = ArticlesSliderHelper::getAImage($item, $params);
echo ArticlesSliderHelper::imageTag($img);?>

</a>


I hope this helps someone else
