NextGen Gallery: Full size Link

Mardie, you can remove the “Full Size” link you will need to however modify the thickbox-pack.js which is located in wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/thickbox/thickbox-pack.js
Open in a text editor and so a search for
<a href='"+url+"' id='TB_FullSize' title='Full Size'>Full Size</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
and delete it. Backup thickbox-pack.js first in case you break it by modifying.

Optionally you could have the “Full Size” link open in a new broswer window or new tab by adding a blank target
<a href='"+url+"' id='TB_FullSize' title='Full Size' target='_blank'>Full Size</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

I first removed the “Full Size” option because I felt that out of habit people would close the tab or browser window which would have them exit the website. I now use the target blank page option because I found it to be useful for people that want the full size images and if they close the new tab or new browser window my website isn’t closed.

I forgot to mention that the “Full Size” link is a feature of ThickBox which is used by NextGen Gallery.

i haven’t check this in a while. I am a bit busy with my new project, thus i will try your solution if i can squeeze some time. Anyway, thank you for your reply.

How can I change the “Full Size” link to point to a specific Page for each photo in my WP blog?

I would like to change “Full Size” to “Order this Photo” and link every photo lightbox to a specific WordPress Page I will create, where the photo will be presented again but with a Paypal Buy Now button.

Any Ideas?

@nirsound, I understand what it is you are trying to do and I think you may be over thinking for a solution but it is quite simple and you can approach it this way.
1. You can remove the “Full Size” link from the thickbox-pack.js as in the procedure I stated above in reply to mardie. I say to do this because it is only a function of ThickBox not WordPress nor NextGen Gallery and I’m not sure you can dynamically do what it is you want very easily with ThickBox hacks. I chose this option because the “Full Size” link mashes into my Thumbnail Description (By The way the Thumbnail Description is what we are going to target for your solution.)

2. Go into WordPress Admin -> Gallery -> Manage Gallery -> and Choose “Edit” for The Gallery you wish to include these links and information to and next to the the Thumbnail is an area called “Description” you can put your description of the photo, price and add a html link to your WordPress pages and this Description information will show up in each ThickBox window for each image you have included information for. You would do this for all of your Thumbnail Descriptions that you want a link to a page with.

You may also want to check out a WordPress plugin called WP e-Commerce that may help you quickly build a Shopping Cart with Paypal and Google Checkout integration plus other merchant services.

Good luck.

@revollusion Your simple and ingenious solution works like a charm!

Now can we think of a way to add a link to the Thumbnail Description without HTML knowledge, so anyone can do this?

Just a followup thought: Another way to add this is from a Page’s TinyMCE which is already integrated with NextGen [add image button > nextgen gallery > select gallery > show photo].

How can we add a check box “Link back to this Page” near the description box?

@nirsound, If I’m understanding you correctly this time, it sounds like you may be asking how to create link. Well a basic understanding of html is only needed, I know that with WordPress it makes it so easy for anyone to have an awesome website with no html knowledge. Anyway a link is created by defining an “Anchor” such as this:

<a href="https://yoursite.com/some_directory/your_page>Order this Photo</a>
That bit of code would look like this:
Order this Photo

Alternatively you could replace the text with an image:
<a href="https://yoursite.com/some_directory/your_page>
<img src="https://somesite.com/some_directory/some_image.gif">
</a>

As for your second question, that would take the help of the developer of NextGen Gallery to do that and that definitely treads on the breaking point of my abilities, although it could be a nice feature.

good luck,

Hey guys. I needed to remove the full size link as well and the information provided above worked.

I would actually like to change the text size and color of the “image count” and “next and previous links”. Where would you go about doing this?

Thanks!

@jesseg5, In your wordpress directory you can modify the wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/thickbox/thickbox.css file, that file should have all the style information for those elements.

Hey Guys,

I was wondering. Is it possible to have the “Full Size” link load the picture in the same Thickbox window? Basically I want it to replace the resized version.

Thanks!
