Add a link to Item thread in nflj_showcase_layout_grid_view_item

[Ludachris]

Is this possible? I want to add a link to the Item's associated thread, if a thread exists. Not sure if it can be done without custom coding. I've tried it but can easily be doing it wrong. Here's the code I was using:

<xen:if is="{$thread}"><a href="{xen:link threads, $thread}">...

$thread is not an available variable for an individual showcase item block on a listing page. The only thing available to use is the $item array, so you need to use $item.thread_id and $item like this...

<xen:if is="{$item.thread_id}"><a href="{xen:link threads, $item}">Discuss this item</a>

I knew I was doing it wrong... thanks Bob, that worked.
