Hello,
I created a form where users submit an excerpt of their post & an image, along with a link to their post as it currently exists (see here: http://forum.thesitsgirls.com/share-a-tip). My question is how can I have the image submitted link to the blog post link that they provide? Is this possible?
Thank you!
Hi, ashabele,
I hope I am understanding you correctly. If not, please let me know. My understanding is that the form you provided will be creating a new post, and this post will have the image uploaded on the form link to the URL provided on the form. I accomplished this by having a Post Body field on my form, set it to Admin Only Visibility on the Advanced tab for the field, then checked off Create content template on its Properties page. In the content template, I created the html needed to make a link using the image. You can use the Insert Merge Tag drop down to select fields from your form. See the screenshot here http://grab.by/bZvO .
Let me know if you have questions or I misunderstood.

I'm getting close to this- I *think*. Here's what happens when you click on the link(I know the image is huge, that's not the biggest thing right now): http://forum.thesitsgirls.com/testing-2/
You get this: http://forum.thesitsgirls.com/testing-2/%7Bwebsite:%202%7D
I have this in my form where it says create content template:
Insert Merge Tag
<img src="{Post Image:8:large:center:url}">{Post your excerpt here. :9}
I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious!! This has been driving me nuts trying different things..
In the screenshot I provided, I had the html for the image surrounded with the anchor tag
<a href="{Website:2}">image merge tag here</a>
I don't see that in your example though. The "{Website:2}" was the name + id of the field that has the URL on my sample form, for you it would be whatever your "Blog Post Link" field is. You should be able to add the merge tag for that field from the drop down.
