Hi all,
After reading through the how-tos and trying the description-as-page-link method to no avail, I need some help.

I am building a website that calls a Maxigallery slideshow from a separate page onto the front page. I want my client to be able to type in a(n) URL under each image in the Maxi manager and have the slideshow thumbnails link to those URLs.

The site is http://www.screamingskygallery.com

The slideshow at the top is the gallery in question.

Here’s my maxigallery call:

[!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`smoothgallery` &gal_query_ids=`88`  &smoothgallery_embedLinks=`false` &smoothgallery_timed=`true`  &smoothgallery_showInfopane=`false` &smoothgallery_showCarousel=`false` &smoothgallery_width=`960` &smoothgallery_height=`320`  &max_thumb_size=`960` &max_pic_size=`0` &smoothgallery_delay=`5000` &smoothgallery_showArrows=`false` !]

What is the best way to do this?

Change the smoothgallery embed links parameter to true and use a custom galleryPictureTpl like this:

<div class="imageElement">
	<h3>[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]</h3>
	<p>[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]</p>
	<a href="[+maxigallery.picture.descr+]" title="[+maxigallery.picture.title:htmlent+]" class="open"></a>
	<img src="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+][+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="full" />
	<img src="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+]tn_[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" class="thumbnail" />
</div>

And then just write some urls to the picture description fields.
