Can Searchable Images Become Clickable!?

[Classix]

Hi, was just wondering if searchable image can be made clickable? on the description is linked to the product?

Cheers FrAz

do you mean the image that appears in the search results?

You can do this by moving the SearchResultLink variable (in blue italics) from before the SearchResultProductName to in front of the block if before the SearchResultProductImage
This will then produce both the image and the product name as a clickable link. (it makes it all one link actually. I suppose you could duplicate it and put it around both individually instead, if you preferred)
Hope that makes sense!

Yeh that's what i meant, am wanting the search result to give the same feeling as the rest of the site. I'll try your method and see if that sorts me out. Cheers Tracey, FrAz

Hi there

You just need to replace all the image code in the 'Standard Search Result' layout with this:

<Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE NAME="ImageLine">
	<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><img src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> border="0" /></a>
</Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE>

Tried Tracey's method, didn't seem to do anything, i'll give your method ago cdicken, i'm sure it'll do the trick

I tested it, to make sure, before I posted it so it does work.
However Chris's method is essentially the same, just explained better (ie swap X for Y)
Mine probably wasn't very well explained (multitasking probably)

Honestly, I never noticed my search result images were not clickable until I read this post.

I used Chris's code and it worked like a champ.
Copy. Paste. Done.

Where would I be without this board? It makes my boss think I'm smart.

Thanks!

I tried adding the code with cdicken post and uploaded our site, but our search images still are 'unclickable' here's the code for our standard search results page. Can anyone see what the problem is

<Actinic:S_TABLESTART/>
<p>
<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultItem"/>.
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsImage%22%20%2f%3e" >
<Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE NAME="ImageLine">
	<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><img src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> border="0" /></a>
</Actinic:XMLTEMPLATE>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsName%22%20%2f%3e">
	<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><b><Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultProductName"/></b></a>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsSectionName%22%20%2f%3e">
	<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultSectionName"/>
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsPrice%22%20%2f%3e">
	<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultPrice"/> 
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsDescription%22%20%2f%3e">
	<br /><actinic:variable name="SearchResultFullDescription" />
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SearchResultShowsProperties%22%20%2f%3e" >
	<br /><actinic:variable name="SearchResultProp" />
</actinic:block>
</p>

I tried

<Actinic:Variable Name="SearchResultLink"/><img src="<actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImage" />" <actinic:variable name="SearchResultProductImageSize" /> border=0 /></a>

with no problems.

As always, an URL would allow us to see what's happening on your site.
