Image thumbnails link to textpages?

I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to how to pull this off..

For this website text pages will be used almost exclusively with an image at the top and text below. However, I still would really like a gallery of thumbnails to display when you click on a menu item and for each of these thumbnails to link to one of the corresponding text pages, instead of the image alone. Obviously the text pages would have to be hidden in the menu, and only linked to via thumbnails. Can this be done?

Thanks,
Eric

Yes.

1. Go to admin -> settings -> settings.attributes.image, add the link item.

2. Go to admin -> settings -> thumbnails.thumbnail.click, instead of "open", choose "link"

3. From Admin management, navigate to the folder where you have the images that will represent textpages on click. Click the images, and you will see a new field in your admin called "link". Add the relative link to your textpage here, for example #/pages/textpage/. In this case, you would probably want to hide the folder "pages".

Thank you, that worked perfectly!

It's actually exciting to see it's quite easy to pull off. It expands the utility of the gallery to that of a general website presentation (though working and modifying it with creativity is still a must).

This now makes me want to remove the words "Gallery Menu" and change them to something else, because it's more than a gallery now.
