Certain images, such as buttons, are commonly used to allow visitors to trigger predetermined actions, such as opening a new page or sending email.
To add a link, select the image and choose Link from the Edit menu or the image’s context menu.
It is possible to link a small “preview” picture to a higher resolution image view page with descriptive information.
Select the image.
Choose Link from the Edit menu or the image’s context menu.
Choose the type “Link to Image View”.
Switch to Layout Editor mode.
Confirm that the layout is set up for image views.
For additional information, see the chapter on “Layouts”, specifically the section on Image Views.
The StudioLine Explorer offers a convenient way to add a page link to an existing graphic:
Open the StudioLine Explorer.
To link from within the same site, select “Pages.” To link from another site, select “Sites”, double-click a site in the folder pane and then choose “Pages”.
Locate the page you would like to link to.
Drag the page to a graphic on the screen.
The graphic now has a link to the chosen page.
It is important to provide visitors with unambiguous clues that an image is associated with a link. One effective technique is, to give the image the appearance of a button:
Select the Image.
Open the Image Toolbox from the Edit menu.
Choose the Buttonize and Shadow effect.
If an image links to another StudioLine page, one can easily switch to that page by double-clicking on the image, or:
Select an image which has a link defined.
Either choose Follow Link from the Navigation menu, or open the object’s context menu with the right mouse button and choose Follow Link.
