Linking galleries internally in SM

samwise

Hi

Don't know if this has been convered before, but nothing sprang out at me in a search.

What I would like to do is link individual pictures from within the sub-galleries of this gallery showing tracks and trail maps to the gallery of the appropriate ride photos (say Ballacotch), if that makes sense

I've tried adding the normal forum code links ([ url]), but that doesn't work. :scratch

Maybe it's just because I'm tired, but I've read that three times and I can't understand what you're trying to do.

i had to read it, go to the site, and read it again.

i think he wants when you click the thumbnail in the gallery, instead of it showing that photo, he wants it to take you to the gallery with the photos of that trail ride.

visit the site, i think it will make sense. still slightly confused myself.

Confused myself now

OK, if you go to http://samwise.smugmug.com/gallery/696187/1/30297017, I'd like to be able to have a link from that page to http://samwise.smugmug.com/gallery/603131, so that for each track I have a map of, I can see the map, and then I can go straight to the appropriate gallery showing pictures from that track - does that make more sense?

Basically you want a gallery specific link rather than a link that if you put it in your cobranding shows up on every page?

Too easy. In either your description for the gallery or in your captions (I think html is allowed in the caption...) simply put the following (using the URL from your previous example)

<a href="[url="http://samwise.smugmug.com/gallery/603131"]http://samwise.smugmug.com/gallery/603131[/url]">Link text goes here</a>

Just change the URL and the link text to suit your needs. Is this what you're after?

yup, html in the caption is ok http://bigwebguy.smugmug.com/gallery/436089/2/19084414

that would be a good solution for him i believe.
