Url inside slideshow

Hi friends. It has been a couple of weeks and I am checking to see if this is possible. Can you help? Thank you so much.

Hello @stathi,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

We already responded to your question here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/url-to-start-slideshow/

Warmly,
Beatrice.

Hi Beatrice. Thank you for your message.

That post is about something else that was indeed resolved. However, this topic is different. Please read the description at the top. It would be so wonderful if it could happen. I will try to rephrase it.

I need to pass a URL to each slide so that as the users go through the slideshow and they find an image interesting, that they could click a button or link on the slide and take them there.

Thank you so much.

Hello @stathi,

Can you please send us the link of the site and the initialization code of Fancybox?

Thank you,
Beatrice.

Hi Beatrice. I am still developing my site, mexas.org, as well as my son’s. I use the plain vanilla fancybox package that I downloaded. You can see it in the page source.

This is what I want.

<a href="image.jpg" data-fancybox 
data-caption="Caption for image"
link=“www.someurl.com/somepage”>
<img src="thumbnail.jpg" alt="" />
</a>

So that when I am in the slideshow and I see an image I like, I can click on a link or button, inside the slideshow pop up, to take me to the passed link.

Is this possible?

I figured it out. I will modify the code for adding a facebook button and registering a new attribute in .
Thank you.

After HOURS of research, this is my complete wordpress fancybox handling.

add_action('wp_head', 'fancybox_init'); 
function fancybox_init() {
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){	
	var select = $('a[href$=".bmp"],a[href$=".gif"],a[href$=".jpg"],a[href$=".jpeg"],a[href$=".png"],a[href$=".BMP"],a[href$=".GIF"],a[href$=".JPG"],a[href$=".JPEG"],a[href$=".PNG"]'); // select image files
	select.attr('data-fancybox-group', 'gallery');
	select.attr('class', 'fancybox'); 
	select.fancybox();	

///////////make 'go' button and go to this page //////////

$.fancybox.defaults.btnTpl.go = '<button data-fancybox-go class="fancybox-button fancybox-button--go" title="go to this page">'+"go"+'</button>';

$('body').on('click', '[data-fancybox-go]', function() {
var linx=$.fancybox.getInstance().current.opts.$orig.data('item');
window.location.href = linx;
});

//////////////////// init fancybox //////////

$(".fancybox").fancybox({

beforeShow: function () {
         this.title = $(this.element).find("img").attr("alt"); }, 
		thumbs : {autoStart : true, axis : 'x'},
		loop       : true,

I passed the link I want to redirect to, here using data-item:

<a href="https://mywebsite.com/img1.jpg"  data-fancybox="gallery" data-item="https://whereIwantToGo.com" class="img-fluid" data-caption="image caption"><img  src="https://mywebsite.com/img1.jpg" alt=""></a>
