Hi team,
I am trying to create a website for a photographer. At the home page there s a gallery with subjects like, portraits, nature, cities etc. So one portrait, pointing to the portrait page, one forest to the nature page, one city pointing to the city page etc. all setup with custom links.
My target was to create a link from eg the portrait on the start page, and one arrives at the portrait page. There one finds another masonerie gallery with custom links to the individual links to the overview of shots of one person. This is also done by a custom link to the persons portfolio.And that’s where the problem lies. If I set the links from the start page/portrait to the general portrait page, that will change the link from the general portrait page to the individual portrait with the same link. Hence it does not link correctly.
A link to an example:erwinolaf.com
Hope I m making a mistake somewehere, thanks, Frank Los.
Hey liesbethp1,
As I understand you want to use the Masonry Gallery element and on your homepage you added a custom link to a image like this:
and in the element link settings you are using the custom link option:
So on the target page to use the same image again in another masonry gallery and show the image in a lightbox, you would choose the “lightbox link” option:
I believe this is what you are trying to do. If you are asking to use the same image to link to a third page, then you couldn’t do that because you can’t change the link in the image, it only has a option for one link.
As a workaround you could upload a copy of the same image with a link to the third page, or if this image is the featured image to the third page and it is a portfolio page you could use a masonry element on the second page pointing to “portfolio entries”.
So that would be the homepage using a masonry gallery with a image and a custom link ▸
the second page using a masonry element linking to portfolio pages with the featured image of each showing as a “gallery” ▸
then the third portfolio page as the landing page.Best regards,
MikeHi Mike, thanks for your reply, I m not sure I explained it correctly, so I try it again.
My aim is to create following.
https://mywebsite.nl/start.html is the start page. On that page a masonery gallery with images representing different types of photos. -Potraits -Landscapes -Cities etc. I create my first custom link to the sets so clicking on the image representing portaits, the custom link I create reads https://mywebsite.nl/start.html/portraits/.On that page (https://mywebsite.nl/start.html/portraits/) one finds the collection of portraits of different subjects, and suppose one of the pictures is of a woman called Kitty.
So on that image i create my second custom link pointing to https://mywebsite.nl/start.html/portraits/kitty/.But when I create that second custom link it changes the first custom link, so that the first custom link does not point to https://mywebsite.nl/start.html/portraits/, but instead directly to https://mywebsite.nl/start.html/portraits/kitty/
Even if I rename the images it does not point to given custom URL but to the one I inserted at last link edit.
Hi,
This is because the custom link that you are creating is actually in the image link field in the media library and not in the element
Note that in the right hand sidebar “Attachment Details” all of these fields are for the image in the media library are are sitewide, such as “title”, ect. these are not limited to the one element.
So you can only add one link to the image. Try uploading another image with a different file name and add your second link to it, or you can use the work flow I posted above.Best regards,
Mike
