Hi,

I seem to have this strange problem that I am unable to link from an image in a textbox on one view to another view. Although I can create the hyperlink, mahara seems to always display the image rather than follow the link. Is this standard behaviour & how can I get around it? 

Thanks, Michael

Dear Nigel,

thanks for the reply. This is the page:

Here's the html of the textbox:

---------------------

<p style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-family: impact,chicago"><font size="7">&nbsp;Ceramics Today </font></p><div style="text-align: center"> </div><p style="text-align: center"><font size="1">&nbsp;</font></p><p style="text-align: center"><font size="2">&nbsp;An online exhibition of works by designers from the Royal College of Art.</font></p><p style="text-align: center">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center">Click on the image to see the artist's folio.... </p><div style="text-align: center"> </div><table border="0" cellspacing="20" cellpadding="0" style="width: 448px; height: 590px; text-align: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">     <tbody><tr>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2536" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><a href="/view/view.php?id=1976" title="sss"><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2537" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a></td>       <td style="text-align: center"><a href="/view/view.php?id=1976"><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2538" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a></td>     </tr>     <tr>       <td><a href="/view/view.php?id=1976"><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2539" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></a></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2540" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2541" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>     </tr>     <tr>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2542" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2543" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2544" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>     </tr>     <tr>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2545" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2546" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>       <td><img src="/artefact/file/download.php?file=2547" alt="" width="120" height="120" /></td>     </tr>   </tbody></table> 

------------------------

I don't add a screenshot, because it looks just the same, only with the hyperlinked images having a green border.

Thanks for you help on this -

Hi Michael - I managed to duplicate this issue on my test installation, and came up with a patch that doesn't attempt to link the images if they're already linked.

If you're desperate, you can get it from here, otherwise you can wait for Mahara 1.1.6, which we're intending on releasing shortly. 

Thanks for the report!

Dear Nigel,

wow, how very impressive! Thank you very much. - I am on holiday right now but will pass on your link and have it tested.

All the best, Michael
