   Firstly thanks for the help getting me to the icons.

   On a normal page I am able to make it so a click on an icon will link to something (a video) for example. The link opens in another page.

   I created a new template from the builder with two columns. I select the option to fill in my own text, and I am able to get the icons showing in each column. BUT I can not get the icons in this format to link as I did in the word press page layout.

   Any suggestions?

   Hi cpwilson2,

   You should be able to use the same html in the direct text input. If you can paste what you are using here we can take a look at it to see if there is an issue we can fix.

   I am trying to get a video link on the ice in a column from a template builder:

   [iconbox icon="YouTube.png"][/iconbox]

   Indonesia Private Investigation Agency has had a number of TV slots covering our private detective work. Click on the icon to see a short piece by "Trans TV".

   That is the video link.

   Hi cpwilson2,

   I see what you mean but as far as I know the shortcode for icons doesn't have a way to add a link to the icon. You could use the plain html for the iconbox and add the a href in manually like the following:
   

   <a href="http://youtu.be/R_lsDMCE--U"><span class="iconbox_icon"><img src="http://www.indonesiadetective.com/wp-content/themes/choices/images/icons/icon-youtube.png" alt="" /></span></a>
   <div class="iconbox_content">
   <h3 class="iconbox_content_title">Your title here</h3>

   </div>
   </div>

   that works. I am not sure I can quite follow the logic of your code so may need to get back to you once I have got the magazine article scanned for the second icon. Thanks very much though.
