Row as link to page

[edgrbnz]

I tryed to wrap my head around this… «tables!» was the first thought that came to mind. Unfortunately tables always tend to be unsexy to maintain. Here’s some food for thought how to possibly tackle this:

• Structure your projects in table rows with the insert table function inside the text editor. Something like this:

• Then you could add the desired link to the first table cell of each row – Luckily you can do that in the text editor; the code side of things looks a bit messy:

<table>
  <tbody>
     <tr>
        <td style="vertical-align: top;"><a href="https://somewhere-el.se">FORNASETTI</a></td>
        <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;">TYPEFACE, 2020</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
        <td style="vertical-align: top;"><a href="https://somewhere-el.se">MAR</a></td>
        <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;">IDENTITY, 2020</td>
     </tr>
     <tr>
        <td style="vertical-align: top;"><a href="https://somewhere-el.se">EVERYTHING IS SOMEONE</a></td>
        <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: right;">BOOK, 2020</td>
     </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

• Unfortunately it’s not possible to link entire table-rows so you now need to add some jquery to Custom CSS & HTML → Custom HTML at top to enable the link to always trigger the whole table row, This code might work.

It’s absolutely possible that I totally overthought this!
If there is a simpler solution I’m also happy to learn 🙂

Hi @edgrbnz ! Thanks a lot for your time.

Well at the end I managed to do it, not having enough knowledge about code, opting for svgs of the entire row and link on images. Not sure if it is a good idea, but hey, it works http://www.bourgeoiscesar.com/nh-2

I'll dig a bit more using tables, thanks for the advice.

Cheers!

Seems to work but does weird flickery stuff over here… 🤔

[cesarbourgeois]

@edgrbnz yeah, thanks for pointing out. It worked only on safari.
So I made the page using a table, added the link to each text but I'm struggling to have the row linked as described on Stack.

What I'm not understanding is where to add this snippet

$('tr').click( function() {
    window.location = $(this).find('a').attr('href');
}).hover( function() {
    $(this).toggleClass('hover');
});

Thanks for your help,
Cheers

Dear @cesarbourgeois

Following up :)
Did you come to a solution along with @edgrbnz ?

Thank you for using Lay Theme and making a healthy Forum
Best wishes
Richard

[cesarbourgeois]

Dear @Richard-Keith thanks for asking!

So, yes @edgrbnz's worked out and now the link trigger and works for the entire row, good news.

The fact is that I can't make the entire row go blur, it applies only to the linked text, any idea how I can force this?
Working on the same page as the last post: http://www.bourgeoiscesar.com/nh-3

Cheers,
César

Dear @cesarbourgeois

Using "Custom CSS"

You will need to apply the "blur" on hover to the "tr"

tr:hover {
    color: #ff0000;
    -webkit-filter: blur(10px);
    filter: blur(10px);
    transition: ease-in-out 0.2s;
}

Best

[cesarbourgeois]

Works perfectly,

Thanks a lot @edgrbnz & @Richard-Keith !

Hi all!

This is exactly what I am after myself. Reading the above, I am not exactly sure how to achieve this. How did you manage to get it to work in the end?

Thanks in advance!

Dear @ewantsleslie

Targeting the desired element e.g

.desired-element{
} 

and then applying Custom CSS within 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML' - So that on 'hover' the blur effect occurs.

.desired-element:hover {
    color: #ff0000;
    -webkit-filter: blur(10px);
    filter: blur(10px);
    transition: ease-in-out 0.2s;
}

Best wishes! :)

Hi @Richard,
I am trying to achieve a similar thing, but as I have no experience with custom CSS I could not follow the last step from @edgrbnz. So far I thought working with the project Index would be my way to go, as this allows the entire row and text in the row to respond when hovering. The two problems I run into here are:

1. I would like to align the Tags to the right side of the page
2. Instead of a changing colour I would like the hovered row to be Italic.
   In the image I hover over "Daylight Sequence"
   
   Thank you very much in advance, and sorry for not being able to understand the tips above, L.

do u have a link

u can create a row for every line of text.
then right click on this row (on an empty part)
then choose "set link for row" and in here set a link and a hover image

then use custom css to change to italic when hovered

always post a link pls

[LenaW]

hi @arminunruh
my apologies for not putting a link straight away. I had my site "under construction" but put it public now and created a separate link with just one row (and the previous project index underneath) to show that I understood the steps until custom css comes in for the italic row: https://lenawinterink.com/category/test-work-category/
Thanks a lot in advance and for Laytheme to exist!

[arminunruh]

you just used a projectindex element
yea thats better than what i suggested

.lay-projectindex-row{
font-style: italic!important;
}

[LenaW]

Thank you @arminunruh, I managed to make the row italic on hover. The last thing I would like to do is have the 'tags' of the project-index aligned to the right side of the page. So to have the entire tags-column aligned to the right side of the page (see screenshot of one row as an example) Is that possible?

[arminunruh]

.lay-projectindex-col-tags{
text-align: right!important;
}

[LenaW]

This works perfectly, thank you so much!

Hey @arminunruh @Richard

I've been playing around to achieve a similar thing to where this thread started - where each row in a table acts as a single link to another page. After lots of trial and error (I am a novice with jQuery/html) I managed it with the following:

<tr onclick="location.href='http://www.websitelink.com'" style="cursor: pointer">
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
</tr>

What I'm stuck on is the mouseover/hover. I've managed to make it so all text in the whole row becomes italic, but I'd like for all the text in the row to become a colour at the same time.
In the custom CSS I currently have:

tr:hover
{
color: #B2AAE3;
font-style: italic;
cursor: pointer;
}

Here is the link to the page:

Thanks!

[arminunruh]

maybe try this:

tr:hover
{
color: #B2AAE3!important;
font-style: italic;
cursor: pointer;
}

or try this:

tr:hover{
cursor: pointer;
}
tr:hover > *
{
color: #B2AAE3!important;
font-style: italic;
}
