Its right below where you put the title of the pic under summary it allows you to put a url in. I tried using some diferent code to change the font size but it just doesnt work for me.

example code
url=http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?CA=925785-0000&PA=1487197&HTML=http://www.nextdoor-models.com/fhgs/bia01/bia01.htm]Click Here For Nice Looking babes[/url

I also would like to have it open in a new window but I couldnt get it to do that either, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Could you help me to modify the above code for a larger font and open in a new window?
Thanks

Mark

bbcode (intentionally) limits when you can do. if you wish, visit Site Admin / General and change the site to use full html. then you can put <font> or <script> or whatever you like in your captions. this may be ok if only you have edit privileges.. it's risky if others can add stuff, as they could put <script> tags that do bad things..

alternatively, if you have some coding ability you could edit lib/smarty_plugins/modifier.markup.php and make the bbcode syntax support the things you want.. for example, add [=..]text[/] support and/or [url=.. popup=true]..[/url]

look at the existing $this->_bbcode->addCode calls.. you can add more calls to support additional [..] tags.
easiest is the ones that say 'simple_replace'. you could make [big] and [/big] be replaced with <font size="+2"> and </font>.
to be more advanced you can use the 'callback_replace' type.. see how these call the function url and function color in this file, for examples.

existing code:

        $this->_bbcode->addCode('i', 'simple_replace', null,
                                array('start_tag' => '<i>', 'end_tag' => '</i>'),
                                'inline', array('listitem', 'block', 'inline', 'link'), array());

if you copy this and just change the 'i' and start_tag/end_tag values then you get support for a new simple tag.
example:

        $this->_bbcode->addCode('big', 'simple_replace', null,
                                array('start_tag' => '<font size="+2">', 'end_tag' => '</font>'),
                                'inline', array('listitem', 'block', 'inline', 'link'), array());

I found the code
$this->_bbcode->addCode('i', 'simple_replace', null,

but could not find the code
array('start_tag' => '<i>', 'end_tag' => '</i>'),
I am using gallery 2.1.2

I appreciate all your help with this, thanks

even though the 2.1.x code is a little different, you should be able to apply the concept i describe above.. you can see how 'i' is mapped to <i> and </i>.. give it a shot.

I tried this but it didnt seem to make a difference.

$this->_bbcode->addCode('b', 'simple_replace', null, array ('<b>', '</b>'),
'inline', array ('listitem', 'block', 'inline', 'link'), array ());
$this->_bbcode->addCode('i', 'simple_replace', null, array ('<font size="+4>', '</font>'),
'inline', array ('listitem', 'block', 'inline', 'link'), array ());

you're missing a " after +4
once this code change is in place in lib/smarty_plugins then you can add or view captions with [ i]..[/i] (space added so it isn't parsed by this forum) and it will be big instead of italic. of course make sure bbcode is your markup type in site admin / general.

<font size="+4">Hot babes </font

I changed it to use HTML and was able to fix ther issue by editing pics one at a time , if I tried to edit all of them together I would get a cache error page.

Thanks
