Linking to Collected Images in New SmugMug

So, I've been playing around with the new SmugMug and must say I like it very much! Outstanding job, SmugMug! I haven't yet unveiled it as I am still tweaking it, but it's almost ready except for one thing that has me befuddled: linking to collected images' original galleries/folders.

I've created a folder into which I've collected my favorite images from other folders to be displayed on the homepage (I'm using the Smokey theme with Landscape Collage). Currently, if a visitor clicks on any of those images, they will be taken to the folder containing those collected images. Is it possible to direct a visitor to the gallery/folder where the original file resides (not the collected one) when they click the thumbnail?

The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.

    Hi Chris,
    Sorry, if you're displaying images from that collected gallery on your homepage, there's not a way for visitors to be directed to the various original galleries by clicking on the photos. But, you could solve this in a different way. Instead of using the Multiple Photos block to display photos from that particular gallery, you could change the "Select From" option to "Photos I Choose". Then go into the different galleries and pick out the photos you want to display (keep in mind that the order in which you select them will be the order they are displayed). This will allow visitors clicking on those photos to be taken to the gallery that they are originating from. Hope that helps!

    What an excellent suggestion! That seemed to have solved my "problem"! Thank you very much, Megan! Love the name "SmugMeg"! Laughing.gif!

    One more question, Meg, if you don't mind: After I've chosen the pictures and published the changes, where do I go back later to add more pictures to the collage?

    Thanks, again!
