I have done the same thing for a paypal donation button, but it stopped working with 1.7.0. I just made an extension that took two parameters and made a button out of them (example:<buttonImage>http://urltoimage,/url/to/button</buttonImage>).

I hope that this helps, and if you want the extension code (it is really simple) I can give it to you.

Yes... Although you can make that functionality work, you'll need to use an 'external style' link to do so. Click on the current image to go to the image page, then click on the link to view just the image itself. Once you get there, then grab that URL.

Go to the page in which you want the link to be on, and type in an external style link as follows:

[URL to your page URL to your image]

i.e. [http://wiki.myexamplesite.com/wiki/Page_to_link_to http://wiki.myexamplesite.com/images/wiki/4/48/mypic.jpg]

If anyone knows of a better way to do this, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,

Hey, i got a question on the wiki markup language.

Is there a way to add an internal link to an image, ex: when you click on the image, it doesn't show you the path of the image but actually goes to another page.

Thanks!

Eric

Hello Eric,

You can find the extension at http://www.dandwiki.com/w/extensions/buttonLink.php.txt. Rename it to buttonLink.php, but it in your extensions directory, and add a require_once("extensions/buttonLink.php"); to your LocalSettings.php file. (Make sure that buttonLink.php is executable, or chmod 0755).

I hope that this helps, Kasimir Gabert
