   Hello,

   I would like to know if anyone could figure out how to link a thumnail image in a gallery to a page/post?

   instead of displaying the lightbox/shutter effect (full size image) whenm clicking on 1 of those thumbnail in a gallery, I wanted it to redirect to a page/post.

   Cheers

   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; ?>

   Cheers,

   Long live NextGen Gallery and Alex ;)

   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!
