Image - can it link to an external or non-textpattern url?
I’d like to add a few images and have the images (or a title / caption below the image) link to a url (a non textpattern page or different website). Each image or caption displayed underneath would have a different url associated with it than would other images.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

You have to do it by hand: <a href ="xyc...">txp:image</a>

Thanks for your responses. I was afraid that I’d have to do it that way rather than have the url associated with the image – so that the image with the url can be pulled up when it is in a gallery.
Thanks,

What kind of gallery are you talking about? There are different ways to link to images for different situations: in page templates, article images, textile in article bodies, etc.

I would like to have a gallery that would pull 3-5 images randomly from the category that I specify. I would like one section of the website to display images (with each image or a caption/description beneath the image being a link to a non-textpattern url) from one image category and another section to pull from another image category.

Article Category or Image Category ? The former, easy. The later, well…
I would like one section of the website to display images (with each image or a caption/description beneath the image being a link to a non-textpattern url) from one image category and another section to pull from another image category.
Again, easily done with articles (using the article_image feature to link each image to its own article). Purely with images, I think that would require plugins or a little PHP.

I think he would like to have one section to display random images, with each images link to other websites (not inside his own website/sections/articles)..
I’m looking for the same way as well..
btw, how do I use <txp:link />? I defined a set of links using textpattern (inside the content->links) but how do I actually display it on my website?

Cyrus,
That is correct that I want the images to link to other websites, not my own sections/articles/etc.
You may want to use the linklist tag – can read more about it at http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:linklist_/
