In Gallery there is a field to enter a URL.
How is this displayed on the page?

I am using Galleriffic and I am displaying the Name and Description in the caption section.
I want to display the URL below the captions.
I cannot find any examples of it being used. Any ideas?

Thanks

ok, I am very close to figuring this out.

I added this line to the gallerifficitemthumb.chunk.tpl file located here:
/core/components/gallery/elements/chunks

<a href="[[+url]]" target="_blank">[[+url]]</a>

See here

<li>
    <a class="thumb" name="[[+name]]" href="[[+image]]" title="[[+name]]">
        <img src="[[+thumbnail]]" alt="[[+name]]" />
    </a>
    <div class="caption">

        <div class="image-title">[[+name]]</div>
        <div class="image-desc">
            [[+description]]
            [[+tags:notempty=`<br /><em>[[%gallery.tags]]:</em> [[+tags]]`]]
        </div>
		<a href="[[+url]]" target="_blank">[[+url]]</a>
    </div>
</li>

The one issue now is that I am running this locally and it’s adding "localhost" to the url.
Will this be fine once I go live or do I need to alter the code?

Thanks

It seems like the line code <a href="...
always spits out the base URL.

When I change the template to this:

<a href="" target="_blank">[[+url]]</a>

I get this for a link

http://localhost

Is this a friendly URL problem?
Can I code it to skip over the base URL?
