In my gallery, what i write as image title is the caption of my image and that is great. Now I would like to add a link (external url) to my caption, how can i do that? I already try to write normal url and html a tag but is always ignored.

I see two option in Colorbox configuration related some link, i play a bit with that but I didn't really understand what i'm supposed to do with that

How did you do?

EDIT: Add screenshots step by step adding link for title

My Colorbox gallery is placed in custom 'Photo Gallery' Content type. Here there are a list of images with Alt and Title. This images are automatically grouped thanks another view "Gallery Photo" which display the first image and then thanks to colorbox open all the other inside it as a gallery.

You need to do it with JQUERY,there is another way as patching colorbox,but by default color box dont support link as title

   $('#cboxTitle').html('<a href="yourlink.com">title</a>');

  • @GiorgiaSambrotta, you can inspect the element title and just need put its id in jquery selector, my code is a clue :)

Follow the steps given in this tutorial and then add one extra field as shown in below snapshot.

enter image description here

Give your external link to this field as shown below

Final step would be to use replacement pattern for this field in colorbox trigger caption field along with the title.

  • Mhmm i'm doing something wrong from the beginning because nothing really change to me. I create a view of content type 'Gallery Photo' then I make this view as Block. Is right or should be a page? then I create all the fields explained in the tutorial and yours field. Should I maybe do something more, obvious to you(but not to a beginner like me:) )?

  • Also: Adding Global:Custom Text field basically will give me the chance to add an external link as title, but Will be always the same link for all the caption? And every time need to be changed, admin need to change it from the view, not from the gallery in it self, is this correct?

  • You can give title to your external link using Replacement patterns. example: instead of using 'External link' as title you can replace it with '[title]' or any other. Where [title] is your replacement pattern.

  • ok! But I still don't see the title as link. Custom or not is still a plain text
