I need to make a page of downloadable magazines. It would ideally show a grid of thumbnails of the cover of each magazine which you would click on and then the pdf containing the contents of that magazine would open. Here’s my old page doing just that: http://follies.org.uk/ebuletin.html
However, I can’t find anyhting in Enfold or indeed even amongst the various WordPress add-ons that will allow me to do this. The Enfold galleries don’t allow links to be added. Even maikng a grid with a text box in each, then adding the thumbnail and link only attches the link to the words underneath the picture, not the picture itself. How do I make a link to an image?Thanks – I’ve had a look at this but it seems far too complicated for what I need -I can’t see anyhting that looks like a gallery layout in there, nor can I see a way of doing without all the shopping cart stuff -I’m giving this stuff away – just click and download is all I need.
Hi,
So essentially your users can download/save the cover free of charge. Like they would via a google image search?

Jordan ShannonYes that’s right -its just a catalogue of back issues people can download or read in a pdf reader at will.
Hi FFAlan,
Here are a few overviews of the plugins for that:

VictoriaThanks for the suggestions but nothing I could find did what I wanted. However, I have now achieved it using standard WordPress and Enfold features, so I’ll detail it here, in case anyone else wants to do the same.
On my page I added a grid row and set it to five columns wide.
In each column I added a Text box element
I then cloned the row several times to build up my grid.
Then editing the text box I clicked on ‘add media’ , found the image of the front page of the document and then over on the right of the media page added a caption (No1 etc), then further down in the right hand corner it says “attachment display settings”. On the ‘link to’ dropdown, change it to ‘Custom URL’ then in the box below paste in the link to the pdf file.
Then ‘Insert into page’ and that’s it. When you hover over an image the picture changes, and if you click on it the pdf opens up full screen. Just what I wanted!
Here’s the finished page :http://follies.org.uk/wp/index.php/e-bulletin-2/
