  • Links not working in category descriptions

    Posted 11 years 2 months ago
    • I have an odd problem that is demonstrated here:

      www.theprt.co.uk/love-teesside/teesside-photo-of-the-month

      I have an image in the category description, but hovering over it does not show the tooltip and a right click does not show the usual browser menus for an image (Save Image, Copy image etc)

      Also in the description I have a link. It appears as a different colour as though it is a link, but clicking on it, nothing happens.

      This happens on any links I include in any category descriptions - links elsewhere on the page, outside the category description work fine!

      I also notice my RSS feed icon doesn't link either, but on a page where I do not include the category description like the one below, the RSS feed icon works fine!

      www.theprt.co.uk/love-teesside/archive/teesside-news-archive

      Any ideas anyone? It's driving me mad! It's probably something obvious but I just can't figure it out...and don't know if it's a template, K2 or Joomla issue...or just me doing something wrong!

      Thanks in advance =)

    • you can try to add this to your css
      #k2Container  a {
	position: relative;z-index: 999;
}

    • Excellent! That's fixed the links! Many many thanks...I did wonder if it was a CSS issue.

      I still have a slight problem with the image alt tags not showing but that's not a huge issue, and I guess it's a similar solution? I'll have a play about.

      Again many thanks - not sure exactly what that CSS did, I'm no expert but it certainly worked. =)

      Quick edit:

      Yeah, I added this too:

      #k2Container  img {
	position: relative;z-index: 999;
}

      Solved the image problem =)

    • Hi there,

      Looks like CSS issues. The RSS feed is being covered by the article so can never be clicked on as it is.

      Try adding the following code to rt_kirigami-custom.css

      #k2Container .k2FeedIcon {
    z-index: 5000;
}

      Hope this helps 8)
