Hi there,
I almost finish my site with Panacea template, but missed one very important thing - how to make background rotator on frontpage clickable with different links for every image. Alas, my subscription for the forum has just finished and I can't access solution (if it is in the forum). Also it wouldn't reasonable to me to by another subscription for only one question.
Could you please explain how to mack clickable links for all background images or for part of it (I plan to place some text with border on every image). I need links for every frontpage image.
Thank you a lot!

- Hi, you can't add links to background images, which is what the background rotator shows. You could add links into your text or program it into your articles in some way but that's about all you can do.

Thank you for quick response, Cliff.
Lack of clickable images is a pity. It was general idea of using rotator... Anyway, as I understand your suggestion is to make clickable some text in articles that show on rotator. I've done as you advised and it's pretty good for my reason.
Is it possible to make a small rectangle from background strip (overlaying the text)? Or it would be easier to place some picture on background images?
P.S. one more question: could you please tell me why in firefox and opera I get a right scrollbar on frontpage even if it completely is in the screen? There is no way to scroll but scroll bar exist. It's kind of annoying...
P.P.S. Help!! For some reason text on rotator don't match css settings in Safari and Chrome! In firefox, Opera, IE8 it looks OK, but in Safari and Chrome upper then it should. How to get it right? - Last Edit: 13 years 6 months ago by -Vitaly-.

- The rotator works with articles in a section that you define in the backend. Put your links in the article, how you do it is up to you. Hope that helps.

Cliff, thank you for directions! I've figured most of it out by myself. I edited my post so I guess you reply to emailed previous version of my writings:)
Could you please take a look at my post above - I've got two small issue with it I can't resolve.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm not seeing the scrollbar you speak of so I'm not sure why that's happening.
I don't know why the text is higher in Safari, you can change that in the css - go into your template-webkit.css file and add this code to the bottomThat should fix it for Safari and Chrome. Hope that helps..rotator-line1{padding-top:335px;} - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Cliff, thank you a lot! Your suggestion for template-webkit.css worked just fine! My guess for the course is the additional code to rotator appearance (I received it on this forum). Anyway the main issue is solved owing to you.
The scrollbar is not the great issue, but annoying thing. When I open frontpage (or contacts - last mainmenu option) it looks just fine in Safari on my 1920x1200 display. But in the firefox and opera right scrollbar (standard, as usuall for loooong screens) appears on the same pages. Anyway, I have no another computer with large screen to check it out, so hope it wouldn't affect visitor's impression from the website
Once again thank you for your help. You are really Elite Rocketeer!

Hi Cliff,
You said we couldn't add clickable image on Rotator, actually you might be interested in checking out this site: test.rhccc.ca/ch/
You can see there are three buttons at the left side of the rotator, and they are clickable.
However, I just couldn't figure out how to make that. You must know some tricks to do it. -

Hi, that is a custom personalization added by the people who developed that website, it's not a feature of the default theme as we developed it. All I can tell from looking at the source code is that they may have hardcoded those links and menu into the index.php file of the theme.
This type of customization is not something we can provide direct support with. You are welcome to post in the Marketplace forum to hire a developer to assist you. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.
