Image overlay addon

Asked by Jesper 1 year ago Last activity 1 year ago

Hi
Is there a easy way to make the whole image link-clickable in the addon Image overlay.
using the links in the addon will only make the text clickable.
Thanks

I have tried with a raw-html with a code from chatGPT, but really it doesn't make it easy as with your addons.

Apolozy for the inconvenience and the delayed response over the weekend. Unfortunately, the Image Overlay addon does not have a built-in option to make the entire image clickable.

To achieve this functionality, we recommend overriding the addon. You can refer to the attached documentation for detailed guidance on how to create and manage addon overrides effectively. https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/sp-page-builder/how-to-override-sp-builder-addons

Thanks Atick
Just a few questions:
1
In the description is says that: "Create those folders inside your template folder: templates\shaper_NAME\sppagebuilder\addons\"
I guess that means that the folder structures is: Templates\templates\shaper_helixultimate\sppagebuilder\addons\ ?correct?

2
then I should copy the addon into this folder: I guess the addon is taken from this location:
/components/com_sppagebuilder/addons ?correct?

And to be honest. I have little clue about what code I can add an whether it should be in the admin or site folder. Can you support with that also?

Now I have been sitting for hours trying to add codes for the admin and site file. Also with the use of chatgbt for coding. Done lots of faultfinding and actually gone nowhere.

Hum! and I just wanted an image with a text on the image to be clickable.

Hi Atick
This so much appreciated and it work perfectly. Iam so happy.
My suggestion to your team is to change the funct. of the Image overlay for users to decide the size of the clickable area in the Image overlay.
Google the issue, I can see that I am not the only whishing for that functionality.
Thanks again.
