    Hi opajaap

    The global linking functionality that exists for the Photo Of The Day widget (Table VI: Links: 5a,b,c,d) whereby clicking on the thumbnail takes you to a slideshow page, starting at the slide clicked on in the widget, is great.

    Is it possible to have this same functionality included on a per album basis, so that clicking on any thumbnail on an album page takes you to a unique slideshow page just for that album?

    At the moment, I can almost get what I want by including the same unique slideshow page in the “Link URL” field on every slide in an album. The problem with this solution is that the slideshow always starts at slide #1, no matter which thumbnail was clicked on, whereas I want it to start at the slide whose thumbnail was clicked on.

    I hope this makes sense 🙂

    Try adding to the url:

    ?wppa-photo=..&wppa_occur=1

    (where .. is the photo id number or name)

    or

    ?wppa-photo=..&wppa_occur=1

    if there is already a ? in the link
    So you get something like:

    http://wppa.opajaap.nl/photo-album-test-post/?wppa-album=1&wppa-slide&wppa-occur=1&wppa-photo=2029

    This will start the slideshow at the desired photo.

    Hi opajaap

    Many thanks – I used your second option, putting the following at the end of my existing link (and including the appropriate photo ID for each photo):
    &wppa-photo=..&wppa_occur=1

    As you said, I put a & at the start rather than a ? as I already had a ? in the link.

    It gives me just what I wanted – absolutely wonderful 🙂

    Keep in mind that the addition of &wppa-occur (that tells what occurrence of %%wppa%% on the page the querystring refers to) is crucial in certain circumstances as the other &… may not be interpreted if it is ommited.
    Even if there is only one %%wppa%% on the entire page.
    So if you are further fiddling around with manual links, keep in mind that: &wppa-occur=1

    Thanks for that caution, I have made note of it for future reference.
