[Plugin: CataBlog] Links from thumbnail images not working

  • Hey y’all,
    Wondering if anyone can help me out with this issue as I love the crap out of this plugin and I don’t wanna use anything else. Basically, in the “edit catagory item” menu, I am trying to insert a link in the box supplied on the right, to a WP Page I’ve already made, thinking that, when you click on the thumnail of that item from the gallery, it will take you to that page. It’s not working. It just takes me to the url of the thumbnail image. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong as I’ve tried varies methods, but after 2 days of trying, I’ve come to beg for help. Probably doesn’t help that I kinda suck at code, but I’m learning! Seriously though, any help would be MUCH appreciated!! (Selecta theme)

    You need to make sure to turn off the LightBox feature. You can turn on/off the LightBox feature in the LightBox tab of the CataBlog Options Admin Panel. Next edit the link field in your CataBlog items to either use the complete permalink or the permalink without the domain with a slash in front. examples:

    Good
http://www.mydomain.com/2012/04/12/my-post-is-fun/
/2012/04/12/my-post-is-fun/

Bad
www.mydomain.com/2012/04/12/my-post-is-fun/
2012/04/12/my-post-is-fun/

    After you set the link field to the correct value go and try your thumbnail links again. If they still don’t work then you need to edit the template and add the %LINK% token into the a tags href attribute. Find the anchor tag with a class of catablog-image, <a href="..." class="catablog-image">, and make the href attribute the %LINK% token. example:

    <a href="%LINK%" class="catablog-image" %LINK-REL% %LINK-TARGET%>
