Link from background image

W.W. Webster

Apart from the menubar, my Homepage includes only a background image. This has been set up using the functionality in Customise -> Content and Design -> Homepage -> Theme -> Active Theme -> <wrench tool> -> Edit Theme -> Advanced -> Page -> Background Graphic.

I would like to allow my visitors to be able to click on the background image and be taken to the image in its gallery. I'm sure I've seen this done or referred to somewhere, but I can't seem to find how.

Any help appreciated please.

I am very sorry but we do not have a way to make the background image a "clickable" image that will take users to the gallery for that image. The only way you can make a "clickable" image would be to use a photo content block and make the image be clickable in the content block settings.

photoclick

In case you have a static (non-changeable) background image, you can place the HTML block in the page's content area and write something like that in the html tab:

In the css tab style the div to occupy the entire height and width of the page, obviously excluding your left side bar. This will be "the other only way" to make a clickable image:)

Thanks, Heather, perhaps this is an option. Can the content block be stretchable in all directions to completely fill the screen, including under my vertical nav bar?

Thanks, I'll look into this. Yes, my background image is a single, static image, not a changing image or slide show.

The solution I gave would allow the content block to be large but would not cover the same area that the background image covers. I feel "photoclicks" solution is your best bet for what you are trying to accomplish.
