Link to joomgallery category

**GK User** Mon Dec 29, 2014 1:39 pm

I'm using the Creativity template with NSP GK5 on the home page to show images of recent work. I want the thumbnails to link to a joomgallery category page, but Joomgallery isn't listed in the 'Source of Articles' menu. Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks
Ken

Hi, sorry who told you that NSP support Joomgallery ?
I have never heard that.

Hi Oscar, thanks for your response. I'm not making any assumptions about support for Joomgallery, I just want to know if there's any way I can link from a thumbnail to a Joomgallery category.

Without customizing a NSP code no.
But if you want to use JoomGallery why you use NSP as a first layer? It doesn't make sense for me.
You can use Custom HTML module with all this stuff, only advantages:
1) Full control what you will show and how
2) Website will be faster no delays (NSP is heavy).

Good point. I've been using NSP to display content so much I got tunnel vision. There's actually a Joomgallery categories module that does the job so I'll use that. Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Unfortunately for you, but I don't use Joomgallery in my private projects. I'd prefer more modern solutions.

What would you call 'more modern solutions? I use joomgallery because it's very flexible and copes well with large collections of categorized images (I have a lot of photographers and artists as clients). Haven't found anything else to match it for that kind of thing, but I'd be interested in your recommendations.

I know that Joomgallery has a long history, but default themes are "ugly" and UX should be better.
