Open image in browser or viewer

[kiacat 0]

I have a link to an image that I want to open in a viewer, which it does but only after Pagelines opens a separate page with a thumbnail of the image. I can click on this image and it opens just the way I want it to do. My question is how do I get around this "middle-man" page and go straight to the viewer from the link. I am sure this is an easy fix but I haven't been able to figure it out for the past 2-3 hours of plugin searches, experiments, and Pageline documentation. Help appreciated.

So you have some javascript or flash viewer that targets the image to open in a viewer right? If you want to prevent the image from opening in a new tab, go to edit the page that its on and hover over the image so that you can click the little "edit" button that appears. In the box labeled "link url" (i think) delete the url or just click "none" and then save changes.

Appreciate you getting back to me. I am so immersed in trying to solve this problem that I didn't explain it very well. Trying again. What I have is an inline text link to an image in the media library. The sentence looks like this: "For additional information on this airfield see this aerial photo map (800kb) adapted from the.... ". When this link is clicked, a new page opens (using an apparently arbitrary template in Pagelines - not sure how that his happening) with nothing in the content area except a thumbnail of the image I want to open. When I click on the tumbnail, the image opens in a viewer, which is what I want. For some reason, I can't get directly to the viewer without going through this "middle man" page. I don't know what viewer is being used. I assume it is something built in to Wordpress. I tried the check box you suggested in the links dialog box but both checked and unchecked opens the "middle man" page. I uploaded a couple of plugins (Open Picture Window plugin, Open New Window plugin, etc) and tried those but the "middle man" page continues to popup first with the thumbnail, which I can click to get the image displayed in the viewer.

Can we get a live link?

Thanks for getting back to me Catrina. The link is: http://0339355.netsolhost.com/events-page/moon-tree-dedication/pilots/ There are two text links at the top of the page. The AirNav is an external page and opens in a new browser window with no problem. The other text link calls up an image in the internal media library. This is the one that is opening the "middle man" page. Once the "middle man" is open, you can click on the image thumb and it opens in a browser(?) or viewer(?). Roger

Okay, I'm assuming you want that text link to link directly to ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="1000px" height="496px"> (this is the direct URL for the image). You need to open the page editor for that Pilots page and then view the content in HTML mode. Now look for this link in the HTML code:

http://0339355.netsolhost.com/?attachment_id=481

Replace it with this: ' alt='' class='ipsImage' width="1000px" height="496px"> Update your page and the "middle man" page (also known as the image attachment page) will no longer appear when you click on the text link.
