Linking to images in a Cascade

I would also love to see this functionality for the Cascade story map.

The ability to hyperlink images within the body of the story map would also be really great! I am working on a project currently that is a joint effort between multiple organizations and we want to be able to give each one credit and web traffic by linking their organization websites and right now its nearly impossible. I'm certainly not a skilled web developer so customizing this functionality into the source code is just about impossible for me right now.

Hi Erin -- Thanks for your feedback. I branched your comment to a new thread since it sounds like a different question.

Do you mean you want to use images from other websites in a Cascade story? If so, just get the URL of the image and paste it into the box in the Link to Content tab of the Media Picker. That will add the image to your story.

If you mean something else, please provide a bit more detail about what you'd like to do.

I would like to add my own image and use it to link to another website. Such as a logo or a photo that when clicked would load another page.

I want to host the image or at least have it stored as part of my story map so it can't get moved. I have commonly used an href tag with an img tag in HTML to accomplish the same thing. Something like this:

For example this would show a logo image and when it was clicked on, the website for the organization would load either in the same window or another tab.

Erin -- Thanks for the additional information. Currently the Cascade builder doesn't support adding hyperlinks to images in your story, but we are considering that for a future release. For now, if you are able to host your own web page, you could design whatever layout of images with links that you want and then embed that hosted page inside your Cascade story.
