Image slider with URL;s

Hi I have been investigating this Galleria slider. I find it odd that the images cannot contain an URL to allow them to become links to pages on the site. Is there any update in the foreseeable future that will bring this. It's almost standard on every other type of slider these days. Perhaps just a simple added feature to turn this URL behaviour on or of so you can select to use them as links...or not. Right now I have the slider in use on various pages but visitors still have to click in the menu to get to the page. Any suggestions to achieve this would be helpful. ( note: Yes I have looked at Roddy's offerings but I do not need all these various widgets, just this one ) Peter |

Like all powerful and advanced widgets (the ones that are included in EW and the ones Roddy offers), the code is borrowed. http://galleria.io/ If you want more, use the original code. And then hope is offers what you want. Last edit 11 years ago |

I have looked at galleria.io but did not find any option that would allow it to let any displayed image to function as a link. Weird! There is also no demo or anything else covering this, so if you managed to do this Jumbo I am quite curious about how you did it. |

Yes there is an option for the image function as a link. At the end of this page you see code : http://galleria.io/docs/getting_started/beginners_guide/#complete-code Instead of : <img src="photo1.jpg"> use : <a href="link.to.something"><img src="photo1.jpg"></a> It may interfere with the function to show the image in a popup. And if you download the demoset , you'll find sample code. Last edit 11 years ago |

Quote: I find it odd that the images cannot contain an URL to allow them to become links to pages on the site. The image slider widget uses the simplest form of Galleria to allow those who know nothing about preparing images and thumbs or creating a slideshow to insert one easily and quickly. In this respect it works really well. Since the HTML consists of a bunch of <img> tags, and the thumb is generated from the full size image, simply creating the image as a hyperlink probably wouldn't work too well. If the slideshow did not have the thumbs option, inserting links would be easy. In its more advanced forms, Galleria can have image links inserted via a data attributes or using javascript. It is not possible to create a slider widget which fits all situations and it wouldn't be sensible to try. Every user has different requirements. Although I have more than 25 different widgets for creating banners, sliders, galleries etc, it's still not enough for some users. Just yesterday I did another one for an EverWeb user who wanted an image gallery to open from a text hyperlink so that a number of galleries could be include on a page displaying different products. I have also modified many of the widgets at one time or another to suit individual requirements. As one EverWeb user put it, "No matter how much you allow us to do with a widget, we always want more!". ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

@ Peter B. I had a look at the Image Slider widget and modified it to include both captions and hyperlinks. If you want to try it to see if that's what you need, Contact me. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
