General Support: fullsize image within template - that old chestnut again

Hi Folks

Firstly like to say how much i rate Plogger! After years of using other gallery systems and rolling my own this is a breath of fresh air in terms of integrating and customising. Many thanks to all the developers for their hard work and massive payback ;-)

I've heavily hacked this installation of Plogger so please accept my apologies in advance if maybe i disabled something already....

It's going straight into (i think) 'picture' level, added some code to randomly generate an image from an album when you click a nav section. It's basically the 'default' theme running it with Thumbnail navigation turned on. Ok so far....but...I want the final big picture link to open in the same template.

I have manually searched every post on this forum and have found some useful info but usually the opposite of what i'm trying to do.

Previously i set the Intermediate Thumbnail size to run off a php getimagesize(big picture) sort of idea which worked a treat but the client insisted on the intermediate stage at a fixed size before the big picture...;-(

I've tried changing the line in picture.php

<a accesskey="v" href="'.plogger_get_source_picture_url().'">'.$imgtag.'</a>

to something like

http://www.lisabarnard.co.uk/new_site/index.php?level=picture&id=123

which generates the big picture link to go to index.php with the relevant picture id but it just shows the 'big thumb' size....now I'm really stumped.

Can any of you good people give me a hint how to achieve this?

Hi Kasper

thanks for the reply. Since posting i managed to break my installation of Plogger beyond repair ;-)

I found a (very crap) solution which i will post if i can replicate!
