Avanti - make thumbnails links in JB Slideshow?

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

How can I make the thumbnails links to my articles in JB Slideshow.. instead of the large images? Out of the box, the large images link to articles. I'd like for only the thumbnails to be the links.

Thanks

Hey Percy,

Thats not really possible because the thumbnails trigger the slideshow. You would have to hack the module quite a bit to do that I would think. Im sure we could do it but it would be considered a custom job.

Thanks Anthony

Percy,

You are in luck, because I have already requested this code change and, thanks to Jason's elite skills, have this working perfectly. The main slideshow image and the thumbnail link directly to the article.

However, because clicking on the thumnails no longer switched the slideshow image you must enable the 'transition on hover' option in the module settings.

Just unzip the attached and use it to replace mod_slideshow3/tmpl/default.php

Let us know if that fixes it for you. Thanks.
