joomla 1.013. gallery 2.2. bridge 2.0.14

how can i get the link for the dynamic albums to render in the joomla framework.

when configuring the gallery2 dynamic albums plugin it gives the following url: http://www.kayakidaho.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=dynamicalbum.UpdatesAlbum

the joomla link to gallery: http://www.kayakidaho.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=110

I can wrap the link but it isn't very satisfactory.

thanks

HOW-TO crate link to Dynamic albums

You can add a link, or actually a "album", to the dynamic albums on in any album you want.

Suppose you want a link to the dynamic album "Most Populair" in your first, or main, album.
Your main album is at: www.YOURD-DOMAIN.COM/gallery/main.php

1) Go to: "Site Admin" --> Dynamic Albums and copy the link for most popular photos (that is the fist one on the page with the 2 dynamic albums). The link looks like http://www.YOURD-DOMAIN.COM/gallery/main.php?g2_view=dynamicalbum.UpdatesAlbum

2) Go to the first album at www.YOURD-DOMAIN.COM/gallery/main.php

3) Click on "Add Item"

4) Select the TAB "Link"

5) Select "Link to External URL"

6) Past the link from the clipboard in the textfield. Something like: http://www.YOURD-DOMAIN.COM/gallery/main.php?g2_view=dynamicalbum.UpdatesAlbum . It is also possible use a link without the domain and path to the gallery directory. You can use this link as it is: main.php?g2_view=dynamicalbum.UpdatesAlbum

7) Hit the action button.

Now you have a link (album with a chain) on your fist Gallery page. (fist album) You can change the picture of the link by using the "Edit Item" function.

I love it!!!
