Modula Deeplink gives each photo in a gallery its own link. Whoever opens that link lands on the page with the photo already open in the lightbox, the window over the page. You can share one photo instead of the whole gallery.
Note: Deeplink is a Modula Pro extension, included in the Business plan. It comes with Modula Pro. Switch on Deep Link in Modula → Extensions (how to switch on extensions).
Turn on Deeplink for a gallery
- Go to Modula → Galleries and open your gallery.
- Click Lightbox in the left rail.
- Scroll down to More settings and open Photo links.
- Turn on Give each photo its own link.
-
If you like, change the Link slug. This is the word that goes into the photo’s address (default
modulagallery). Use lowercase letters, digits and dashes. The line under the field shows how the address looks.
The editor saves your changes as you go.
Warning: If you change the link slug later, the photo links you have already shared will break.
Share a link to one photo
With Deeplink on, you get a photo’s link from the address bar of your browser.
- Open the page with the gallery.
- Click a photo. While the lightbox is open, the address in the browser ends with
#, the link slug and the photo’s number. - Copy that address and send it. Whoever opens it lands on the page with that photo already open.
To put share buttons on your photos as well, see how to add share buttons to gallery images.
When photo links work
Photo links work only when a click opens the lightbox. Check that Lightbox → On click is set to Open in lightbox or Lightbox, or link when set.
Note: If the gallery uses filters, keep All as the filter selected when the page loads (Filters → Selected by default). That way every photo can be found from its link.
