Okay so I know how to create a gallery page using variety images and that works great. However, I now have a new task of instead of launching the image when a user clicks on it, but to launch a html page that is about the image.
My thoughts were to assign the image variety as the thumbnail to the html pages and generate the asset listing that way. However, the html pages are in the system as pages of a multiple page asset and therefore you can't assign thumbnails to pages in the multiple page asset. :unsure:
So… my question is, how would I go about having an asset listing generate thumbnails, but link to pages of a multiple page asset? I'd rather not redo the multiple page asset to make this work though, as the asset numbers are linked to pop ups in another section. Ideas?
Actually, we do this a lot.
Configure two asset listings to list your images. Set one of them to "Assets Per Page" to 1. That's your full version asset listing. The other one is set to list the thumbnails. Then, each thumbnail uses this as its <a href> tag:
[html]<a href="./?a=123?result_page=%asset_position%"><img src="%image_v_variety%" /></a>[/html]
Where "123" is the asset ID of the second (full version) asset listing. So, it'll jump directly to displaying the same asset.
Ah ha! You guys are clever. Thank you very much kind sirs!
