Topic: Click embedded gallery to go to URL

Hi there,

Slightly perverse question here...

What I am after is this. I have an embedded slideshow in my website. I want to code the page so that when a client clicks on the embedded slideshow rather than it turning on or off auto play I want the click to take them to another URL (my web site portfolio).

Can anyone tell me how I could code this on my web page?

thanking someone in advance.

David

Re: Click embedded gallery to go to URL

If you set imageClickMode="OPEN_URL" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Main Image' section), then when users click on a main image in the gallery, they will be taken to the corresponding linkURL (in the gallery's 'config.xml' file) which will be opened in a tab or window specified by the linkTarget.
linkURLs and linkTargets can be entered for each image on JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Images' tab.

Thanks for that, sounds good. If that only works though on the main image once the gallery is opened then it's not quite what I am looking for. Or have I misunderstood? Would that still work when a user clicks on the embedded slideshow (clicking now merely turns the auto slideshow off)?

The solution above will work when clicking on a main image in a gallery (whether AutoPlay is on or off and whether or not the gallery is expanded).
I hope this clarifies things (and is something like what you are trying to achieve).

Alternatively, if you want to turn an element on a web page into a link, then you could try using the jQuery .on() 'click' function to redirect the browser to a specific web page (using window.location.href) when the element is clicked.
