Hello! I am trying to put together a simple art portfolio site for my daughter. I have four tabs, Paintings, Drawings, Photography, 3D, each of which is a main page with a bunch of thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail, it takes you to a subpage with a full size image of that drawing. I cannot figure out how to move from one full size image to the next without having to return to the main page with thumbnails:((. I am using the Graphic Illustrator template from the Portfolios collection, and in that template, there are actually Previous and Next arrows on those subpages. But on each subpage, each arrow is an actual link to the next or previous page. That means that if I later add/remove images in the thumbnail gallery, that Next arrow’s link is going to take the viewer to a wrong (old) image. There has to be a more advanced way than manually rewriting all those links! When I go to the Add menu in the Editor, I can add a button (btw, the Button menu does Not have arrows), but I am not prompted to choose an Action for it, it’s just am image, to which I can manually attach a link:(. The Wix support person told me yesterday that if I just put the arrow there, it will automatically “know” where to point. And of course, if I copy/paste an arrow from the template, it does not know anything, it just brings the old link with it, and points to a random wrong page. I need to find a button with an arrow image on it, which, when put on a subpage, would generate a link to the Next/Previous subpage. Where does that functionality come from?? Thank you.
Why don’t you just use a full-width slideshow for your images? It seems more practical than this setup and it has its own built-in arrows. It would also be possible to hook up a repeater to it so that when you click the respective repeater thumbnail it shows on the slideshow.
Thank you, I will look into it. This is my first attempt at creating a website, and I just followed the design and architecture of the Wix template for a portfolio website.
