Image link in Rise
Why is it not possible to add a link to an image in Rise? This seems like a basic feature.
Thanks Wileen for chiming in. 😊
As a workaround for now, try using a Storyline block. Here's an example I mocked up with a Storyline slide that has an image hyperlinking to a website.
One of the things I love about 360 is how the integration of our tools makes it really easy to come up with outside-of-the-box ideas. I hope that's a solution that folks can use!
I tried this - creating an image in Storyline and adding a hyperlink to go to a link outside of the course. I needed about 10 of them, so to start with, this was a very kludgy solution. I found it behaved very inconsistently when I published and ran with SuccessFactors LMS. While most of the links worked, every time I tested the course, one or two of the links (they were different every time I published) just sat and attempted to load, but never did. There's no consistent reason for this that I could point to Storyline or SuccessFactors for the root cause, as they all used the exact same methodology, and the modules that didn't work changed every time the course was published.
I finally scrapped that methodology (many hours of work wasted) and ended up switching to using an image with text on the side and adding the hyperlink to the text. Not as pretty for the user experience, but it was effective.
Hi there, Jennifer. I'm sorry that workaround was clunky for you. I realize you've spent all the time you want to spend on it, but please know if anything isn't working the way it should with Storyline blocks, we're happy to have a closer look.
Thanks for letting us know what you did instead.
Did you build this in Articulate and then import into Rise? Newer to Rise, and trying to figure out how to hyperlink an image I have.
Everything in Rise seems to involve a workaround... it's so limited.
Hi Crystal, I appreciate the suggestion of utilizing Storyline as an alternative. I've been having trouble getting the black background of the image created. Instead of the image itself being saved Storyline is adding a black Resource block around it. Any suggestions on how to remove it?
Hi Tonya,
Would you be willing to share a copy of your Storyline 360 project file here or privately through a support case so we can take a look at what's happening? We'll delete it as soon as we're done testing.
LOL, a Staff reply FINALLY, and it has nothing to do with the main focus of this thread.
At last I have my new laptop w/ Adobe on it. Can't wait to ditch Articulate.
