slideshow question about clickable slides

As I built my slideshow I used pics that aren't even in my galleries yet. As I prepare to do that, I wondered about clickable pictures that are supposed to take you to the gallery it's in. I thought...but the pics are in my hidden slideshow gallery. Is that simply the gallery I must use or can I direct the click to the gallery where the picture resides for public display? Did I explain that right?

Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi Terry,

    The way BWG has implemented the slideshow hack, when a slideshow image is clicked, it takes you to the gallery of which that image belongs. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to redirect to a different gallery.

    In regard to the private album thing, private albums are able to be viewed if the url is known. Therefore, making the slideshow gallery private and having slideshow images clickable, will still result in the users being able to browse that private slideshow album.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Cheers,

    The slide show can be re-directed in it's entirety though... Mine directs the user to my "virtual homepage." The function below had to be adjusted...
    function ssAddSlideClick(sUrl) {
  addEvent(sSlide, 'click', function(){location.href="http://brandolinoimaging.com/gallery/1595381";});
}

    Anthony,

    In case, the best option is to do as follows...
    function ssAddSlideClick(sUrl) {
  addEvent(sSlide, 'click', function(){location.href=sUrl});
}
    and then call the function...
    ssAddSlideClick("http://brandolinoimaging.com/gallery/1595381")

    I assume the 1st bit of code goes right in the JS where I just copied my piece from...
    But where do I put the other piece... right after it?

    Anthony,

    it's the called to that function, search your slideshow code for 'ssAddSlideClick' and you'll find it.

    OK David, I replaced this code 
    function ssAddSlideClick(sUrl) {
  addEvent(sSlide, 'click', function(){location.href="http://brandolinoimaging.com/gallery/1595381";});
}

    with these 2 lines 
    function ssAddSlideClick(sUrl) {
addEvent(sSlide, 'click', function(){location.href=sUrl});
}

ssAddSlideClick("http://brandolinoimaging.com/gallery/1595381")

    in the JS section of the slide show code... but I don't think that was correct as when I did it made the click take me to the image gallery not the gallery/1595381 that I wanted... what did I do wrong... be gentle.. remember I bearly know any CSS much less any JS... thanks for your time...
