Many thanks for this wonderful module, Goldsky!

I just tried it and it works perfectly!

Nevertheless I have a tiny request here: Would it be possible to put a link on each of the slideshow pictures, instead of linking it to the next following picture?
If that would work, you could put a slideshow on your website - for example to display products - and link it to the appropriate landing page.

Sorry for this question, if it already works. I did not find this function inside the documentation.

Many thanks in advance and
best regards

Yes you can.
There is a redirect link field on the detail info of each file.

The trick is on your slideshow’s index file.
Let say we duplicate the smoothgallery’s as smoothgallery2.php, you need to add this parameter to your snippet call:
&ss_indexfile=`the_path_to_smoothgallery2.php`
change this part:

<?php //highlighting

    // ------------- start the images looping ------------- //
    for ($i = 0; $i < $ssFiles['count']; $i++) {
        $output .= '
    <div class="imageElement">
        <h3>' . $ssFiles['title'][$i] . '</h3>
        <p>' . $ssFiles['description'][$i] . '</p>
        <a href="'
                // making flexible FURL or not
                . $modx->makeUrl(
                        $modx->documentIdentifier
                        , $modx->aliases
                        , 'sid=' . $ssParams['sid']
                        . '&fid=' . $ssFiles['id'][$i]
                )
                . '#' . $ssParams['sid'] . '_' . $ssFiles['id'][$i] . '"'
                . ' title="open image" class="open"></a>
        <img src="' . $ssFiles['resizedimg'][$i] . '" class="full" alt="" />
        <img src="' . $ssFiles['thumbsrc'][$i] . '" class="thumbnail" alt="" />
    </div>';
    }
    // ------------- end the images looping ------------- //

to be like this:

<?php //highlighting

    // ------------- start the images looping ------------- //
    for ($i = 0; $i < $ssFiles['count']; $i++) {
        if (!empty($ssFiles['redirect_link'][$i])) {
            $redirectLink = $modx->makeUrl($ssFiles['redirect_link'][$i]); // <-- here is the redirect link
            $title = $ssFiles['summary'][$i]; // <-- here is the hover thing
        } else {
            $redirectLink = $modx->makeUrl(
                            $modx->documentIdentifier
                            , $modx->aliases
                            , 'sid=' . $ssParams['sid']
                            . '&fid=' . $ssFiles['id'][$i]
                    )
                    . '#' . $ssParams['sid'] . '_' . $ssFiles['id'][$i];
            $title = 'open image';
        }
        $output .= '
    <div class="imageElement">
        <h3>' . $ssFiles['title'][$i] . '</h3>
        <p>' . $ssFiles['description'][$i] . '</p>
        <a href="'
                // making flexible FURL or not
                . $redirectLink
                . '" title="' . $title . '" class="open"></a>
        <img src="' . $ssFiles['resizedimg'][$i] . '" class="full" alt="" />
        <img src="' . $ssFiles['thumbsrc'][$i] . '" class="thumbnail" alt="" />
    </div>';
    }
    // ------------- end the images looping ------------- //

Hi goldsky,

I see that for each picture the thumbnails are created several times and suffixed with something like "_id17_sid0_137x77.jpg".

Is there a reason for this, or can I safely remove suffixes in thumbnail names to make these named like the main pictures?

I have on the pages three calls to the e2g snippet, which are pointing to different galleries.
Those snippets return the picture names as values of hidden input fields.
One of the pictures is then loaded and displayed as background (using the supersized jQuery plugin).

Because the picture is quite large and requires time to load, I would like to set the thumbnail as "lowsrc" or equivalent whilst the main picture is loaded. For this reason my interest in making the thumbnail names same as those of the main pictures.

I don't need the advanced features like comments, a.s.o.

Thank you for your answer.

N.B. In e2g.snippet.class we find:

         * Use document ID and session ID to separate between different snippet calls
         * on the same/different page(s) with different settings
         * but unfortunately with the same dimension.
         */
        $e2g_static_instances = $this->e2gsnip_cfg['e2g_static_instances'];
        $docid = $modx->documentIdentifier;
        $thumb_path = '_thumbnails/' . substr($path, 0, strrpos($path, '.')) . '_id' . $docid . '_sid' . $e2g_static_instances . '_' . $w . 'x' . $h . '.jpg';
