Help for Centering images in Content Block then adding link to site page
Permalink
Hi guys, I'm new to Concrete5 but already I much prefer it's logic and structure to Joomla, etc. I've made the decision to build/refresh my business site in it (currently in Joomla) but I've hit a small snag. I have placed some 'clickable' icon images (jpg) below my header. The dialog box seems to allow me to add links to TEXT below the images but not to the images themselves - when I try the dialog seems to discard my link URL and revert to blank. Also I can select 'center' in the same dialogue but again it reverts to 'left' which makes my site look skewed. (seehttp://www.thannhauser.us) - Any ideas (is the css theme 'yoghurt' at fault? - in forums it seems that this is one of the most flexible themes and should in any case allow for overrides). I am also trying to understand 'popups' but can't find documentation on the settings and what they mean. Much appreciated, Brendan
Thanks Hypocrite & jordanlev. The centered images have been added in a content block but they wont accept adding a link to them (e.g. to point to another page on the site). I've tried adding an image block which allows the link to work but wont accept centering the image. Catch 22. What I don't understand is why the link wont work on an image in a content block. To my thinking it must be a common thing to do - somehow I must be missing something (perhaps I would benefit from changing my editor in site settings to 'office' or 'advanced'). Last resort for me is HTML or CSS changes. Thanks again.
Are you using the basic content block to add the images and text? It might be that the code is not formatted correctly and tinyMCE strips something out when you save it.
If you know basic HTML, you might try to code one image and text pair by hand and add that. And see if that works.
You could also try validating the code.

As they say in Australia - thanks mate!

What method have you used to add the image and text?
Because if you add the images as a block (Add block -> Image), you can also define a link for the image. That should work.
But in my opinion if you don't edit that part of your site very often, I would maybe create a new page type for your main page and then just hardcode those images and texts into your layout.
One other method would be to add the images as an UL list and then add the images with CSS.
Like so:
And then float the UL left and add the images with CSS backgrounds. You can do the hover easily with CSS. Just change the background image when the link is hovered.
