i quote mothnyc:
Parap’s solution got me almost there…
What I’m going for is a grid of images (magazine covers) that link to urls (pages hosting all the articles from each issue). Paraps solution enabled me to link each image with a webpage, but unfortunately, those webpages are coming up inside the image rotator. Is there anyway to get a direct link?
That was an issue as well.. Is there a way to redirect it to a page/post?
p/s: I think we can do something at Options->Effects,
JavaScript Thumbnail effect:Custom
Link Code line : ????
But not sure what to put on Link Code line..
Appreciate anyone who could enlighten.. 🙂
This is resolved. I made changes to <plugindirectory> –>view –> gallery.php
I changed the thumb’s hyperlink tag to alttext. Go ahead and put the page you want to point at the alt field of your image.
<!-- Thumbnails -->
<?php foreach ($images as $image) : ?>
<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box">
<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
<a href="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
<img title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" <?php echo $image->size ?> />
</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Cool solution, please note that you can place your template into your theme folder to save it for the next upgrade

Anyone knows how can I link the image (not thumbnail) to an URL? So when the user clicks the thumbnail they should be redirected to an URL instead of closing the image. I really need this. Please advise.
Thank you!
