 * Hi
    First, I am grateful for this plugin. using tags for images,, wow! you saved
   me a lot of time figuring out how to create tag based gallery, thanks! I am not
   great with custom fields and there’s something very basic that i can’t figure
   out: how to add a custom link to each image in a gallery I read you r response
   to a similar question but still cant figure out how to add a field to each image
   to link it to a page or rather automatically link it to the page it is attached
   toI I need to create few a gallery for each tag and link each image to its page
   Thanks

 * Thanks for the positive feedback; I am happy that the plugin is a time-saver 
   for you.
 * I hope I understand your question, based on your phrases “**_automatically link
   it to the page it is attached to_**” and “**_link each image to its page_**“.
   I understand that to mean that you want to compose a `[mla_gallery]` with one
   or more images and make the link for each gallery item go to the post/page which
   is the “parent” of the item, i.e., the post/page the item is “attached to”. Is
   that right?
 * If that’s the question, you can accomplish your goal with some of the “Gallery
   Display Content” parameters. For example:
 *     ```
       [mla_gallery post_parent=any mla_caption="{+parent_title+}" mla_rollover_text="Go to: {+parent_title+}" mla_link_href="{+site_url+}/?p={+parent+}"]
       ```
   
 * In this example, `post_parent=any` selects all items that have a non-zero parent.
   You can replace this with any item selection parameters you need. The `mla_caption`
   and ‘mla_rollover_text` parameters display the title of the parent post/page 
   so the destination is obvious. Again, substitute anything that makes sense in
   your application.
 * The `mla_link_href=` parameter is the key. In this parameter. `{+site_url+}` 
   is replaced by the root URL for your site. The `/?p=` says “go to the post/page
   with this ID” and `{+parent+}` is an attachment-specific substitution parameter
   that contains the post_parent ID.
 * As you can see, no custom fields are required for this solution. If I’ve missed
   something in your question, give me more details and I can be more helpful.
 * I’m going to mark this topic resolved, but feel free to update it if you have
   any problems or further questions. Thanks for your interest in the plugin.

 * Hi
    thanks for your quick response It still doesn’t work for me I used the shortcode
   you put above and I can see that the has a link to its parent page but it adds
   the name of the image to the url, e.g [http://www.mysite.com/parent-page/](http://www.mysite.com/parent-page/)**
   image name**. what I am trying to do is to create few image galleries for different
   taxonomi terms. I have a post type named ‘project’ and every project has several
   images attached. I am trying to create a taxonomy archive with the images when
   one or more image of the same project can appear in each gallery and of course
   link to its parent project page In every gallery the shortcode will include different
   tax filter . I tried to use the tax operation filter and the att. category filter
   but nothing was displayed. i made sure at least one image is tagged with the 
   term I used
 * and last simple question: how do I limit and paginate each gallery ?
 * Thanks a lot

 * Thanks for this update. The URL you give in your post is the default URL supplied
   by `[mla_gallery]`. This means that your `mla_link_href` parameter is not being
   recognized and applied. Check your shortcode parameters against my example and
   make sure they match.
 * If you can’t find a problem, please post the source text for your shortcode (
   or the entire page is it’s not too long) here and I will look at it.
 * Limiting and paginating a gallery are covered in the Settings/Media Library Assistant
   Documentation tab under “Support for Alternate Gallery Output, e.g., Pagination”,
   and there are some examples of how to accomplish it without any PHP code. Have
   a look at the material in the Documentation and let me know if you have trouble
   with following it or any specific questions.

 * Great!
    Everything works now; the links the pagination and the tag filter Just
   wondering if I can hide the previous page link on the first page anyway you’ve
   been very helpful! Thanks

 * Thanks – that’s excellent news!
 * You should be able to “**_hide the previous page link on the first page_**“. 
   In fact, that’s the default as far as I know. The “next and previous” links will
   return an empty string at each end of the gallery unless you add the “,first”,“,
   last” or “,wrap” qualifers. The “paginate links” display omits the text at each
   end, even if you code the “,prev_next” qualifier. All of this is working on my
   test system.
 * Can you post the full source code for the `[mla_gallery]` shortcode that’s giving
   you trouble? That way, I can test exactly what you are doing to see if there’s
   a problem with the plugin or some other solution to your issue.

 * OK
    So I removed the ‘first’ and ‘last’ and it just works perfect Once again,
   thank you for a great plugin and an even better support!
