Just wondering if this is possible or not, we use a package called lofslider in our website and I have access in the backend to be able to assign images with a title and description. I can set within richtext editor hyperlinks on the text, but I would love to somehow generate a hyperlink from the actual image itself.
lutanda (dot) com (dot) au is the domain
I have tried to create a generic property umbracoLinkImage as per a couple of posts in the forum, but when I link it to the content tree it does not create the hyperlink to the page I set.
Not sure what information is needed to explain this so I won't waste space on this first post sending through unnecessary xslt information and such.
I have thought of trying to replace the existing slider with something else, but i would need to script it into the controls in the backend and I think that would be messy at best. Would love to try and work with what I have.
Attach hyperlink to images in Front Page Slider (lofslider)
Hey Guys,

Hi Chris
Could you show us the XSLT used to render the image slider?

Hey Jan,
This is what I can see - I am going through the various video tutorials to gain some insight into Umbraco, but this is eluding me lol

Ultimately at this point it is all a different language to me - I hope to fix that in the coming months though!
Thanks for your reply, look forward to hearing back from you.
