external link icon appears in gallery + internal and external URL's in caption box do not function
I'm testing to see if I can implement the smoothgallery tool you developed on my mediawiki (http://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Test6a). However, I'm facing some minor problems that I hope you can help out with.
Installation went all fine. I'm using the following software versions: Mediawiki 1.15.4 php 5.2.13 mysql 5.1.45 smoothgallery 1.1g
A few problems: 1) I get an external link symbol in my smooth gallery which I can't get away. The only way I can get the external link away is by setting the showinfopane="false" but than I loose the figure caption at the bottom and I would like to keep that. Any idea how to solve this?
2) I would like to add an internal link in the figure caption that appears at the bottom. So I tried to add something like: T071_james_syvitski.jpg|This is the description for picture1 test but it doesn't show the text or the link between the brackets. Is there a way to get links in the "showinfopane"?
Thank you!
I haven't had much of a chance lately to update this extension. I hope to update this, and look at these issues soon. Both of these are bugs (both of which I previously knew about).
Hi Ryan, I looked a bit into the external link symbol that shows up in the gallery. It turns out that I can suppress the icon by using the following layout parameter in front of the <sgallery>: <span class="plainlinks">. See also: m:Help:Link#Arrow icon. It is a bit of a work around but it works which is good enough for me. Now the only thing is being able to add a link in the figure caption at the bottom.
Cheers, Albert.
Yeah, this was likely going to be the fix I used.
I just noticed that the disadvantage is that the arrows on the left and right side to scroll the images will disappear as well .....
Best, Albert.
