Hey there – been trying to set it up so the slideshow images link to somewhere other than the original posts.

I read your tip about custom links: By default, clicking on an image in the gallery takes the user to the image's Post or Page. If you wish to link a gallery image to a different resource, eg another page on your site or an external site, create the following custom field for the relevant Post/Page:

Custom field dfcg-link with the full URL for the link. For example: http://www.anothersite.com

… but it doesn't seem to work for me. My custom fields tab has 2 options: name & value.
What should I put for name and value if wanting to link to your example: http://www.anysite.com??

Hope you can help – thanks

OK, it's official; I'm an idiot – just spotted the custom link option right there on the post page -
DOH! Thought you were talking about setting custom classes or something…

It's been a long day OK. I've been working on this stupid site for 14hrs solid & I need some sleep.

Thanks again for your magnificent plugin Laugh

And stop making your validation sums so complicated.
