Gallery with Links instead of Popups (7 posts)

    Hi Guys,

    Basically I need a Gallery of images which when clicked take your through a URL of your choice.

    I know how to this via code, but this site will be in the hand of a non technical person, so I wanted something which is as easy to use as the next-gen gallery, but allows you to add links.

    Do you know any good plugins, or how I can do this?

    The WordPress built in Gallery shortcode can do that, though it depends what you mean by a 'URL of your choice'?

    By URL of your choice I mean for example I have a gallery of 10 images, each with it's own different link. These should be easily placed through the backend so a non technical person can handle it.

    I am not sure that this can be done via the gallery shortcode you gave me.

    Are the images uploaded in WordPress itself? Or are you wanting to pull them in via a third party app like Flickr, ZenPhoto or whatever?

    I want it to be a plugin or something via WordPress

    Okay, if you upload pics via the WordPress media tool (i.e. the normal way), you CAN make galleries that open a new page (though not in a new window that I'm aware of).

    Matt does it with the built in :)
