Changing the link to a brick and changing the link to attachment image

Hello, I'm wondering if I can change the link to an album list brick to a Page instead of the actual album? I have one project right now that has images, video, and audio and another that needs a link to another web page. Is this possible with a little customization?

Thanks!

    Hello

    This is not easy customization. I know it was asked few times, but I can't remember did anyone achieved such result. You can search for it in Hypershot category, but not sure is it there.

    With regards.

    So far I've found this http://support.apollo13.eu/discussion/835/hypershot-brick-album-link-on-image#Item_7 but it doesn't quite give a straight answer. Any more info?

    Hello,

    As I said I don't remember if anyone achieved this. This is too big change to do it easily. I will take a look on forum now and post here if I find anything.

    By the way - why to keep one album in list of albums? Maybe we can achieve what you wish without changing theme. What is your goal?

    The reason is so I can keep my "links" visual. The goal for example, is to have a brick representing a project that may require an explanation and a link to the project, for example...http://clone.cherrymultimedia.com/labor-of-love-project. Right now I have to have 2 separate links to the same project to maintain the visual on the album list. I need the ability to create links within the project.

    regarding shutting off the link attachment...I checked the links you posted but couldn't really figure out how to implement it. Didn't know how to find the line numbers, etc. Help? :)

    OK so lets try it:-)
    Go to advance/meta.php line ~293 and change 
    array(
                    'name' => '',
                    'type' => 'fieldset'
                ),
    to
    array(
                    'name' => '',
                    'type' => 'fieldset'
                ),
                array(
                    'name' => __be( 'Custom link' ),
                    'desc' => '',
                    'id' => 'custom_link',
                    'default' => '',
                    'type' => 'input'
                ),
    Next albums-list.php line ~101
    change
    echo '<h2><a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2>';
    to: 
    $custom_link = trim(get_post_meta($post->ID, '_custom_link', true));
            echo '<h2><a href="'. (strlen($custom_link)? $custom_link : get_permalink()) . '">' . get_the_title() . '</a></h2>';
    Tested, works:-)

    With regards.

    Try again, maybe now it is abit different lines.

    Post above is about your main question, so please don't mix it.

    How do I go about figuring out the corresponding lines/numbers?

    Hey just following up. This is the last thing before I go public. Thanks.

    So what is the question now? :-)
    how to find lines? Just search for cited code, easy :-) I always use ~mark cause this line can change due to theme updates, or user customization, but in default theme they should be there in same line as mentioned.

    With regards.

    no i figured out where to put the code. My question is now that the code is there, how do I actually go about changing where the image links?

    Heh, I thought it was obvious and I didn't write. Go edit your album and you will see field Custom link. If it is filled then clicking in album will redirect you to that link.

    Oh men... amazing, both, what you coded on the side and the website you've done on the other side.

    Question. Did that became 'standard' along update or should I go thru too ?
    Very nice tweak. Thanks both.

    Hi! Thanks for linking me to this Air! I've made the code amends to meta.php and albums-list.php but a custom field hasn't appeared :0( what could I been doing wrong, please? Thanks

    (I can't see a .php file labelled advance/meta so assumed meta was the one?

    You don't see file extensions?:-) I think you made changes in right place.

    I don't know what could went wrong cause as you can imagine, it could be everything. Try again, and if it won't help I will try to check what is wrong on your installation.

    With regards.

    Maybe there were some update, I don't remember exactly. I hop you don't do changes in mentioned lines exactly but you search around for corresponding lines.

    If you want me to do this changes for you(what I don't have time for lately) then send me temporary access to your WP and FTP so I could check there what is going on. Send it here on forum via private message(click on my nick and there you will find option to send message) . In message please attach link to topic it applies to.

    With regards.

    Air, thank´s for sending me here. I´ve made the implementation above and it works great. I´ve got a question:

    Is there a possibility for a option: When clicking a brick-image (in the masonry-style layout) it either shows slideshow (like it does right now) OR redirects to a link. I´d like to use the custom link-option you did in this thread, but for images in albums.

    I´ll explain my situation: I´ve got a lot of projects I want to show, and I´m sorting them in the main menu by Web, Print, Illustration and Graffitti. A lot of my projects are just images, but for some I need to show more information, like writing something about it, not just show slideshow images. So I need a page for the project.

    EDIT: Oh, I solved it. For anyone else wondering, I set different Album genres and added them as menu items. (see documentation Add Album > Adding multiple Albums list)

    Great you solved it by yourself cause solution wouldn't be so obvious for me :-)
