UPDATE: Figured out that basic HTML works in the labels.txt files.

Is there any way to put a clickable link inside an image caption?

It is possible to have a link for the gallery it self, but all picts would link to a single page Would be very nice to have a link per picture in the labels.txt file !!!

Hey Tdoc, I got links per image to work in the body of captions in the labels.txt file. On my site, the entries in labels.txt look like:

filename.jpg|Image title<br>Image caption here.<br>Courtesy of <a href="awebsiteurl.com">Web site name.

Which gives me line breaks and a caption link.

But maybe you want the each actual picture in a gallery to link to something else? That I don't know about.

Do you know how to make the link open in a new window?

Thanks,



Grant

The use of the <br> tag to break the line in the labels.txt is a good solution!
If you have problems with some special characters just remove carefully the htmlentities function, because it isn't work with all the iso language format!

To open in new window try the "target=_blank" option in the <a> tag!

Thank you!

Hi,
I have tried following the approach outlined by COS above amd clearly got something wrong!

What I want to do is display a page of thumbnails (and sigPro is clearly very good at doing this) and then link via the caption text to another Joomla page which provides more information on the image.

The text in my labels.txt looks like this:
imagefile1.PNG|<a href="www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12">Demo 1 - New Office

The caption which appears under the image is:
<a href="www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12">Demo 1 - New Office

So it appears that the plugin is treating the html code as text

Given vinikey's response I took a look at the plugin file (jwsigpro.php), i looked for occurrences of htmlentities, in the J1.5 file there appear to be 3 entries (lines 324, 326  and 351). I have tried carefully removing them and either disrupted the layout or produced two copies of the caption.

Please could one of you explain where I am going wrong. I am running J!1.5.3

Hi Hugh,

I have it working OK on my site.

Your link should look like below.

imagefile1.PNG|<a href=http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12>Demo 1 - New Office

You need to remove the " from it.

Regards,



Grant

Hi Grant,

I have just tried removing the double quotes (") from the file caption. The caption is now appearing as:
<a href=http://www.mysite.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12>Demo 1 - New Office  :(

Did you modify the jwsigpro.php file to get this to work or were there any particular setting for the plugin that you are using?

Thanks,
Hugh

Hi my friend!

At the place where you see all the link, in the source what code is appeared?
If you try to slash out the quotes? As \" or \' ?

If you can post also a direct link to the gallery will be helpful!

Thank you!
