Using 'oik custom image link URL' only on *certain* slides

No answer on this but, if anyone wants to do this, here’s how I did it hacking the plugin:

I used the Nivo silder shortcode with link=y

[nivo link=y]

Then, to only create a link in the slideshow for slides with an associated URL, I hacked nivo.inc in plugins/oik-nivo-slider/ as follows:

at line 337 I replaced these lines:

$permalink = bw_get_image_link( $post->ID );
      alink( null, $permalink , $thumbnail, null );

with:

$permalink = bw_get_image_link( $post->ID );
      if (strlen($permalink) > 0 ) {

      	alink( null, $permalink , $thumbnail, null );  

      } else {

      	e( $thumbnail );
      }

To prevent the cursor appearing for slides with no URL, I commented out almost all of plugins/oik-nivo-slider/jquery.oik-nc-click.js:

jQuery.fn.oikNCClick = function(){
    var slider = $(this);
    var nc = $('.nivo-caption', slider);
    //nc.hover( function() { $(this).addClass( 'nivo-caption-hovered' ); }
      //      , function() { $(this).removeClass( 'nivo-caption-hovered' ); } );
    //nc.css( 'cursor', 'pointer' );
    //nc.live('click', function(){
      //var visible = $('a.nivo-imageLink:visible', slider);
      //window.location.href = visible.attr('href');
    //});
  };

Then, to allow external links to open in a new window, I hacked bobbfunc.inc in plugins/oik as follows:

at line 181, I replaced this line

$link .= ">";

with

// if URL contains domain.com, don't open in new window: must replace with your own site's domain
  if (stripos($url, "domain.com")) {

  	$link .= " >";

  } else { // it IS external...

  	$link .= " target='_blank'>";
  }

Hi, sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I’m glad you found a solution to your problem.

There are probably some other solutions that don’t necessitate hacking the code but I don’t have time to investigate them right now.
When I do, I’ll see whether or not I can incorporate your solutions into the base code.

Hi again, regarding making links inactive. One option would be to set the oik custom image link URL to #

But when the user clicks on it the page may scroll back to the top.
