Works here - I click one of your initial thumbnails, and it opens a new windows with a separate gallery.

I just thought I'd follow up on this - I installed ivx v2 yesterday and really wanted a feature where I'd start in a gallery of thumbnails that linked to my various subgalleries. I was a bit disappointed until today when I ran across this post.

I've done exactly as previously stated and it works flawlessly - if the image doesn't have a link specified, it just goes to the image - great!

However, it kept opening the links in new windows, which I didn't want. After reading this post again, I decided to add *_parent to the end of the link... and it works perfect!

Except in IE 8. Hm. Back to square 1 - does anyone have any ideas?

I think I will have to add an option for choosing default window. The problem with adding "*_target" after swfaddress links, is that I think perhaps the swfaddress is interpreting them with the _target in the URL. In the meantime, you could try the methology here, although it might not make a difference:

I have now added this feature. You can now add internal links to any of your thumbnail LINK fields, and they will open the internal link in the same window. Also, you don ´t have to add "*_parent" in your link, because Imagevue will understand it is an internal link when using the # character. Additionally, it will work flawless in IE8 now ...

If you use a normal link(external link), the new page will by default open in a new window, but you can still use the *asterix character to assign a custom window. Examples for the link field assigned to thumbnails:

#/content/folder/ - Imagevue will go to specified folder by internal linking
https://www.photo.gallery - Imagevue will go to specified link, in _blank window
https://www.photo.gallery*_self - Imagevue will go to specified link, in current window

As earlier, clicking thumbnails where the LINK is not set, will open the file normally. This feature will be in a release coming very very soon.

1. Goto admin -> config -> settings.attributes.image - Add the "link" parameter. Save.

2. Now you can goto admin -> manage, and for every image there is a new field "link" where you can add an external link. For example
https://www.photo.gallery
... or ...
https://www.photo.gallery*_blank (if you want the link to open in a new window)

3. Download the file "imagevue/include/config.xml", and locate the node thumbnails->thumbnail->click ... in the "options" attribute, add "link" so it looks like this:
Code
options="open,window,popup,download,link"
Upload the file

4. Finally, Goto admin -> config -> thumbnails.thumbnail.click - Set it to "link". Save.

Clicking a thumbnail now, should take the user to an external link as you have specified. Keep in mind, this will be a global setting for all thumbnail clicks. You can't have it set on some thumbnails, others not ...

I see several of the forum members her have been able to link up thir thumbs to subgalleries. Well, stupid as I feel, I cant seem to find Goto admin -> config.. is this in admin panel, or in file structure? I cant seem to find it! Help i soo much appreciated. Thnaks

Sorry, "config" was changed to "settings" in the admin some time ago.

Thank you, this took me some steps further, but met a problem:

I have set up a small test on this adress: http://www.graphica.no/im_215/
In short, i want to use this very nice software for a model agency, with over 100 models, and want each model in their own subgallery in different categories (as in the current solution at www.model-art.no). In my little test so far, the subgallery thumbnail link (model no1) in the test gallery opens BOTH the subgallery internaly (correct) AND a new window with "undefined" (uncorrect). Since this is such small test, the admin login uses defalt values. If I can be helped out, it would be much appreciated. What is wrong in my configuration?

Thanks so much in advance

Sorry for the late reply - I am not 100% sure what you mean, but let me try ...

Normally, a gallery/folder in the menu only opens if there are files in the folder. Standard setups would therefore have some main folders that keep subfolders(but no files), and then subfolders with files(but no subsubfolders)...

In other words, I am not sure what you are saying about a thumbnail link opening both the subgallery internally and a new window with undefined. Perhaps I just misunderstood - What is the question?

As far as I can see, you only have one folder with the 3 default images, so there are no big surprised going on there as far as I can see ...

The link when clicking on the first thumbnail take you to the small subgallery (this is a mini test before implementation, to test correct behaviour). This is CORRECT!
At the SAME time, it opens a new window with the adress: http://www.graphica.no/im_215/undefined - which is NOT CORRECT. I get this in both IE8 and Firefox. I have given you login to chck configuration if neccesary.

Thanks for replying

ahh... I guess I missed some previous dialog in this post as its already 2 pages now ...

What version of Imagevue X2 are you using? Did you try adding your LINK like this -->

#/content/pictures1/*_SELF

#/content/pictures1/*_SELF

When I add the *SELF, the loading "hangs". But when using without *SELF, "#/content/pictures1/pictures2/" - it opens both corrrect internaly, AND a new windows as described in last post. The subfolderfolder "picture2" is hidden. The version is 2.15. The login to see the configuration, is defafault values: http://www.graphica.no/im_215/imagevue/

Hmm you are right ... Let me try this out locally later today, and I will get back to you. I am not sure where it gets the undefined window from.
