Linking to Gallery with an image
  • trevzillatrevzilla
    It seems that there are a lot of permalink issues thus far, so I understand if there is not a workable solution.

    On my page (www.ashleystevickphotography.com) I have four images on the index page. Right now they do not link to anything, however, I would like them to link to the exact same places as on the gallery menu. A.K.A, I'd like the portrait image to link to the portrait gallery, the wedding image to link to the wedding gallery, etc.

    When I create a simple html link, linking to the permalink address, I find that it links to the proper place in my address bar, but I have to hit the refresh button to make it actually go to the link. I've tried this in both Google Chrome and Firefox.

    Is there a way to copy the nifty javascript links in the menu and have them work when someone clicks an image on my index page?

    Thanks for all the help, and the fantastic program!

    to link to a specific gallery, use this code in your 'a' tag:

    href="javascript:setGallery('GALLERY_NAME',false);return%20false;"

    that should work.

    Thank you so much for your reply!

    I've thrown that code into the page, and it works...kind of...

    It worked flawlessly with Google Chrome, to make it work with Firefox and Internet Explorer I had to remove the "return%20false;" part.

    Thank you very much for all your help victor!

    thanks for the IE/Firefox tip, and enjoy your minishowcase.

    I think it would be nice to have "permalink" link on each gallery page; what do you think?
  • victorvictor
    i think that given the ajax/javascript nature of minishowcase, it is very difficult for me to add them, as i don't have the required technical knowledge.

    that said, i think they would be great, and very useful, so i'll see what i can do.

    what about adding a URL parameter, such as gal=the_gallery_name and use this name in the init() function? I put together a small proof-of-concept patch and it seems to work for me
    I used the gup() function from here http://www.netlobo.com/url_query_string_javascript.html and added to init() these 2 lines:

    if (gup("gal") != "") {
    reloading = true;
    setGallery(gup("gal"));
    }
