full page link

Hi all. is it possible at all to make a whole page link to internal page. right now I have an exhibeo slideshow on a full page. site is responsive so there is no graphic image to link onto… in the past I could easily cover a page with an empty graphic and link that but not so on a responsive site

thx for any advice

Try my HTML 5 Block Link Action for that. HTML5 Block Link - ActionsForge Add it to an HTML box, appropriately sized and positioned so it covers the entire page.

Hi Walter… hmmmm Im trying to do this, but it won’t work on the wrapper that includes the Exhibeo gallery, nor will it won’t work on the page wrapper. so maybe Im not sure as to how to apply this. I cannot add a new inline html box as that would push the contents of the page down.

I’m not clear what object you mean by the wrapper that includes the Exhibio gallery – is that a box you drew or created inline within your layout, or is it something that the Action creates? If the latter, then no, you can’t add an Action to another Action. But have you tried this in a normal page (no other Actions)? I just applied the Action to a drawn-in-place (positioned) box, then cut that to the clipboard and pasted it inline into the PageDiv. It published the correct code either way.

sorry I was unclear Walter… yes the action works perfectly on a page with a large HTML box, with nothing else standing in its way.

but the particular page Id like this to work on is a page with an exhibeo gallery which takes up the main bulk of the page. I understand the action can’t work on the exhibeo wrapper

but if I insert a new html box above that gallery… it will push down the gallery as the responsive frame works… maybe I am missing something?

Umm… if you place a link on a div, what happens to the links within that div?

Hi Ernie
I tried that too on same page on just an empty wrapper above the exhibeo container and it works fine but does not solve the problem as there is no indication for the visitor to know where to touch.
I would like the visitor to hit anywhere on the page to go to site.

What’s wrong with being obvious, like a button that says

visit website.com

or if the Exhibeo gallery is a teaser for it, then make the images in Exhibeo link to the website, and add text to each that says

see more at website.com

Just some ideas.

What happens if you cut the Exhibio container out of the page, insert another HTML box as its wrapper, and then paste the Exhibio element back into that? Apply the Block Link Action to the wrapper element.

Sometimes you have to just tell clients that they are being daft.

Visitors dont like that sort of unexpected behaviour.

Besides what is the point of having navigation on the page if clicking anywhere on that page takes them somewhere else?

I’ve often thought SP should add a “How to handle clients” list to FWT.

Or as I like to think of it, “How not to be your client’s bitch”.

That’s funny Todd I actually have no problem telling clients what can’t or should not be done
But only after I get scolded
But I can’t take by now…

After years of working with our dear Dave!
