Hi Jude

In your modules modules mod_j51imagelinkhover.xml (../modules/mod_j51imagelinkhover/mod_j51imagelinkhover.xml) try replacing the following...

<field name="hover_link" type="menuitem" default="45" label="Select a menu item" description="Select a menu item to link to." published="1"/>

With..

<field name="hover_link" type="text" default="" label="Set URL" description="Set the URL to link to." published="1"/>

This will add a URL field to your modules parameters in which you can set a URL to link to rather than selecting a menu item from a dropdown menu.

Hi Ciarán,

I tried that and the field showed up, but still goes to a 404. I need a quick link out to Google, so no complicated URL just Google homepage.

Thanks

We decided to use a different module as a workaround...

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I would also like to use an external link. Anyone able to get this to work?

As well as the above edit to the XML also edit the following in your modules mod_j51imagelinkhover.php (../modules/mod_j51imagelinkhover/mod_j51imagelinkhover.php)

Replace every instance of...

<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php?Itemid={$hover_link}") ?>

With...

<?php echo $hover_link; ?>

For info, I did as Ciaran said: change mod_j51imagelinkhover1.xml
then I had the 404 error.
So I opened mod_j51imagelinkhover.php
I changed line 75 into:
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php{$hover_link}" ?>" class="info" >Image Link</a>

And I changed line 105 into:
<div class="j51button"><a href="<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php{$hover_link}" ?>" class="info" ><?php echo $j51_buttontext; ?></a></div>

Now, in my linkhover module administration, i just put the piece of address that is after "index.php", like this:
If my adress is "http://mydomain.com/index.php/newsite, I just put "/newsite" on the "set url" line.

Now it works.

Ciaran, am I right?

Forgive my english, I hope I was clear.

Hi Maud

Yes that sounds perfect. Thank you for sharing your solution on the forum.

Hi,

In fact, I checked today and there is still a strange problem: when I first click on the image, it works: it goes to my anchor.
But when I click a second time exactly on the same link, it rewrites the url to my main page. If I click a third time, it works. etc.
Where do you think it comes from?
What would be the php code to put on line 75 and 105, to say "go to an external url" instead of "go to this page"? Just to try in case it works like that... (I know nothing about php... I guess I have to replace echo JRoute::_("index.php{$hover_link}" by something else?)

Thank you!!

Hi Maud

May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will examine this issue further. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

If you could also include FTP access to your modules folder that would be great

Ciarán

Thank you Maud

We have edited your ImageLinkHover module to accept URL paths. A working example of a URL path for your site would be /nouveausite/http://index.php/maitrise-d-oeuvre

Ciarán

Thank you very much! It works well indeed

Maybe you can try this:
<a href=" "> </a>
