Custom URL for each thumbnail?

    Hello, New to FooGallery here, liking it very much so far.
    I am trying to link each thumbnail in a gallery to a separate custom URL. In the gallery settings under General you have the option to do this in “Link to”, and the tooltip says you can do this. But I don’t see any way to do this. There are no custom settings for each thumbnail.

    Basically I am creating image galleries, and I have a page that is a gallery of thumbnails that each link to its respective gallery on a separate page. So I am trying to set a link to URL to another page for each thumbnail. I can’t think of a better way to do this.

    How do you set a custom URL for each individual thumbnail?

    Thanks for any help!

  • I have just started using Foo Gallery as I’m not that happy with Gallery Bank. Like you, I have thumbnail page galleries where each thumbnail has to link to a full page and I figured out that you have to add that URL to the URL link field in the media library. The odd thing is that some of my images don’t have that URL in the library but the links are working so not sure how that happens.

    @forumusr inside the Gallery Items metabox, click Manage Items and then hover over a thumb. An “i” and an “x” should appear. Click on the “i” to open up the media library popup where you can edit the attachment info. If you scroll down you will see a “custom URL” textbox where you can provide a custom URL for that specific thumbnail.

    @pcgould, if there is no custom URL specified for a thumb, then it falls back to the image URL which should then open in the lightbox

    Thanks. I’ve had no issues adding the custom URL links to the thumbs so far.

    @nonam2018 – you need to make sure your custom URL’s start with https://

    I had a look at your page and the URL is

    www.cizodeco.com

    and it needs to be

    https://www.cizodeco.com

    you can add https:// or https:// depending on if the website has a SSL certificate. This is known as the scheme or protocol in the URL. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL)

    If you do not apply this then the browser assumes it is a relative link to the site you are currently visiting and just appends it to the current domain. This was happening in your case.
