I was told that this can be done in the CMS. Is there a way to create polygon hot-spots?

And is there a way to put text on top of a picture?

Polygon hotspots and text on an image in a CMS? You are going to need advanced html skills and photo shop to accomplish these 2 things - I am not aware of a CMS in existence that could do those things. Sorry - not something that can be done without an advanced skillset and appropriate software.

Thank you. Not the news I was hoping for, but thanks. I was told when signing up that we could accomplish this. I guess I'll just have to figure something out as my entire site concept is pretty much based on the use of hot spot links on images. I have dreamweaver and have created hotspots in the website I am replacing with my REW site, so maybe I'll play around and see if i can figure something out. Maybe I'll try creating code in dreamweaver & pasting it in CMS? Please let me know if you think that would work.

Thanks again

That's how I do hot spots for the couple of pages on my REW site that have them. But I use a combination of PhotoImpact and MS Expresion Web. If you have the pages with graphics and hot spots already done on your current site, it should just be a matter of uploading the graphics and pasting in the same html, with changes to adapt to the applicable target urls on your new site.

I appreciate your help. That's what I'll do...although when it comes to working in code, I seem to know just enough to be dangerous!

Thanks

Ah - Spence - if the question was CAN you implement images / code that you have already processed for hotspots (Using DW etc) then yeah not a problem at all - just copy paste the html out of dreamweaver and into the html mode of the wysiwyg editor.

I though you meant you wanted the editor to do it for you - question who told you that?

BTW a little tip - If you create the code in a "snippet" you can then re-use it without having to paste in html each time

Save the snippet code as hotspotimagename then whenever you want to put it on a page just use #hotspotimagename# and the system will take care of the rest

Your 1st thought was correct. I was under the impression I could create hot spots using a tool as in DW. That would be ideal becasue I don't speak code.

Through trial & error I imagine I can sort it out, but on the 1st attempt to cut & paste, things aren't sitting where they should be! They looked & worked fine on the old site, but something about transitioning them is moving stuff all over. Fixing that (apparently!) is just beyond my skill level. Anyway...I'll keep at it.

Thanks for the snippet tip - that will be useful for this and other things.

Have a good day

Any thoughts on this?

I created an image and put the text on it in Corel Photo-Paint (don't have photoshop). Exported the image (with the text on it) as a jpg & uploaded it to REW.

Then I started from scratch in DW - just a blank page. Put the image on it, built the hot spots on it, then copied that code (everything between "body" and "body") and pasted into the html of the page in CMS.

When I save or "update" the html in CMS, the WYSIWYG just shows the image...it elimates the hotspots. All the coordinates of the hot spots are removed from the code???

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

Did you try placing the code in a snippet ?
