    Again, with another question.

    Is it possible to have each picture contain a specific link so that when the picture is clicked, it takes you to a specific URL?

    For instance, if I have a picture of a ladybug, if it is clicked, it takes me to my ladybug page. Picture of food, and it takes me to my food page...<br /><br />-Brian<br />-------------<br /><a href="http://zollinhofer.com">Zollinhofer.com</a>

    Yes, this is possible. It's all in the manual :)

    I tried using the link attribute in the following way, but it's not working.

    <img src="photo2.jpg" title="Follow Us" link="http://www.twitter.com/ourtwittername" description="On Twitter" />

    Any suggestions?

    i just realized that the link feature worked in version 2.0 but when i upgraded to 2.04 it does not work anymore.

    i know the link option and i am using it. it worked in version 2.0 but with the same XML and version 2.04 the links are not working anymore.

    You need to activate the links one time by putting

    followImageLinks="true"

    into your album configuration section.
    A little counter intuitive, but that's the way it is.

    Sorry, that was what I thought I was posting, it is found on page 18 of the new manual 2.04

    It seems like that would be something that should default to true. I assume if you don't have a link set, it would do nothing. Perhaps that is not the case and also the reason it defaults to false.

    ok, solved: in version 2.0 default was true, in 2.04 default is false...
    thx for your help

    I'm using 2.05 and added the followImageLinks="true" as an attribute of <configuration> but my links are still not working. The bizzare thing is that if I use 'target="_blank" in the <image> attribute, the link works and pops up a new window. However, "_self" and "_parent" do not work.

    HELP!

    Have you tried omitting the "target" parameter at all?
    If that doesn't help, please post your xml (or a link).

    Yes, I've tried no target param and still no-go. Here's a link to the XML:

    http://www2.nau.edu/plaid-p/_slides/outdoors-trips.xml

    Here's the slideshow in action:

    http://home.nau.edu/outdoors/trips.asp

    Because of the way our server and my access are set up, I have to host the source files on a different server, in case you are wondering why the XML is on a different path than the slideshow.

    You'll also notice that the 'thumbnailPath' attribute isn't working correctly either (I have to hardcode the URL), if you can give me a tip on that too, it would be much appreciated.

    I didn't see the slideshow at all. Where is it supposed to be on your site? Perhaps due to flash protections, you might need a crossdomain.xml file to make it work. I am not sure exactly how to write it and make it work with monoslideshow but if you are pulling images from a different server, you have to tell them to "share" properly.

    Here is a article on the subject.

    The slideshow is on this page:

    http://home.nau.edu/outdoors/trips.asp

    It is the wide banner are at the top of the page. The slideshow seems to work fine, although I am curious as why you didn't see the images. The only thing not working is the link reference on the photos.

    It did not work in FF. It does show up in IE8 and the links do not work.

    try this for the link issue.

    replace var params = {};

    with

    var params = {allowScriptAccess: "always"};

    in the html.

    @Jarredja - Thanks.

    I checked again and yes, Mac/Win/FF doesn't work! I'm at a loss as to why? Any ideas?

    I tried the "allowScriptAccess" and that WORKS! Thanks.

    I believe it has something to do with the code below.

    <a href="http://lifttext.ucc.nau.edu/tt/referrer"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" alt="Text-only page produced by LIFT text transcoder"></a>

    I copied the html and started removing divs and everything unnecessary and kept checking in both IE8 and FF. Once this code was removed, the slideshow appeared.

    Good Luck.
