Linking thumbnail galleries to cyclone slider2

    Hi Nico,

    I have set up a gallery in my Pages and have some thumbnails when viewers click on the Page (ie. Photos).

    Instead of having the slideshow immediately when viewers click on Photos Page, I would like to give them thumbnail previews first. Then they can execute the slideshow when they click on a thumbnail, which will really be great if the thumbnail can correspond accordingly to the large version of the picture.

    I would like to link these thumbnails in the Photo Page to Cyclone-slider 2 however I seem to be stuck in successfully doing it.

    Entering [cycloneslider id =”my-slideshow”] in the Link URL wouldn’t do the trick.

    Is this possible, or perhaps I am missing something? Please forgive me as I am not familiar with php or writing custom codes. Any advice or links to references is highly appreciated.

    Thank you very much.
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    I have created something similar on cyclone’s website:
    http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/
    When you click those thumbnails it takes you to the actual slideshow page.

    For every thumbnails i created a corresponding page. Example in http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/ the first thumbnail (Default) links to this page http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/default/ and in that corresponding page is where i placed the shortcode [cycloneslider id=”slideshow”].

    The thumbnails are just regular images that are wrap with links:
    <a href="http://www.codefleet.net/cyclone-slider-2/templates/default/"><img alt="" src="http://www.codefleet.net/wp-content/themes/codestrap/img/thumb-default.jpg"></a>

    Hi Nico,

    Thank you for the information, can’t believe I missed your template section!

    I have browsed them and although your templates offer clean designs, I am looking for something very basic.

    Also did some tweaking with my limited knowledge of WP:
    1. Created new Page (A) with only the cyclone slider shortcode
    2. Created another Page (B) and insert gallery which links to (A)
    3. Failed to connect them (B) to (A)

    Please take a look at this page here. That’s a good example of what I would like the thumbnail to be like, and clicks on those thumbnails will take viewers to the corresponding image in the cyclone slider.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you again Nico.

    Hello Dave,

    Yes it seems your link points to somewhere else. What are you using to display the thumbnails? Is it [gallery] shortcode of wordpress?

    Yes nico,
    I am using the standard gallery from WP.

    Thank you,
    Dave
