Hi,

I want this to get working with the flash image rotator. so when I click on an rotating image it will follow the link added as alt text. I allready made a custom code to use the alt text as link but only when it is for example gallery id 2. So other galleries are not affected. Is it possible to add this functionality to the Flash rotator or does JW need to alternate his actionscript in the SWF file?

If not possible right now, I think this would be a very nice feature for upcomming versions of NEXTGEN or the JW Image Rotator.

Greetz, John

Adrie,

I tried your suggestions and nothing. The thumbnail still links to the imageURL and not the page URL discribed in the alltext area. Could you please cut and paste what the finished gallery thumbnail code is? I appreciate your tutorial, but something got lost in translation.

Thanks
Tim

Hey tdanyo did you get your solution yet?

If you look at my hardware page you see the thumbnails link to an outside support page (outside URL)..

Um.. I’m using nextGen version 1.0.2 Let me know.

“If you look at my hardware page you see the thumbnails link to an outside support page (outside URL)..”

goodenvy,

I plugged in your exact code and the link is still directed to the imageURL and not the altext url associated with the particular thumbnail. This is the code:

<!– Thumbnails –>
<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

<div id=”ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>” class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box”>
<div class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail” >
alttext ?>” title=”<?php echo $image->description ?>” <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
<img title=”Link” alt=”Link” src=”<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>” <?php echo $image->size ?> />

</div>
</div>

Yes. I see the thumbnails on your hardware page and that is what I am trying to do. I am using the 1.1.0b version. Maybe this is to blame? It shouldn’t though because all of the code is identical except the code we are switching out.

This is really frustrating.

This is my test page:

You can see how the thumbnails are behaving. The DVD icon in the main text area is the one I want to link to another url and not the image url.

tdanyo, i had a peek at:
https://imaginationmedia.tv/services/test

and found that you have not updated your alttext field in your images’ gallery… go to Gallery–>Manage Gallery–><your gallery>

<!-- Thumbnails -->
        <?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>

        <div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box">
                <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
                        <p>
                        <a href="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
                                <img title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" <
?php echo $image->size ?> />
                        </a>
                        <a href="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>"><?php echo $image->description ?></a>
                        </p>
                </div>

        </div>
        <?php endforeach; ?>

this is my version of the code… copy it exactly to your gallery.php (thumbnail portion) and update each image’s alttext field(one liner textbox) with the URL you want to redirect to and each image’s description field(multiple lines textbox) with text to appear when mouseover-ing the thumbnail.

~cheers~

@ Parap thanks!!!!! This was exactly what I was looking for! It saved me lots of time. I do have a small q…Is there a way to open the URL(s) in a new window using this method? When I use this method the URL opens in the same window. Any help would be welcome…

Johnwwo,
can you share how you did it for the slide show? I ‘ve been looking for that for a long time…
Thanks

+1 – would like to know about a mod for the SLideshow to link to individual pages.
