[support] URL attached to image.

[Patrick Avella]

Hi Anthony,

I think you may be over complicating the issue a bit. If you know HTML
and a little bit of basic PHP you can accomplish this goal very easily
using a node.tpl file.

http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!node!node.tpl.php/7

After putting the node.tpl in your templates directory and clearing
Drupal's cache under configuration->performance you can now mix,
match, mash, and display all of the node content any way you like.

If your image field is called "linkedimage" for example, you can put:

<?php dpm($content['field_linkedimage']); ?>

When you view the page Drupal will show you the array structure of the
image including it's filename, location in the files folder, etc.
Using this information you can construct your own <a href> tag,
possibley basing it off of content found in other fields on the node.

To me at least, this is the easiest way to 'over ride' how drupal
renders a field. If you take a quick read through the documents you'll
see that modifying a tpl file makes a lot of things possible very
easily. The best part is that it's a popular solution, so there is
lots of help available with a google search.

I hope it helps.

(If you wanted to stay true to an MVC structure you would want to do
any variable processing in the template file, but there's no law
against quick and easy solutions!)
