I'm not sure what this link is meant to do. When I click it, it brings up the standard photo page with the photo in default size, regardless of the size I was viewing the photo in when I clicked the link.

Pekka, the more I use EE, the more I love it. Everyone I have shown my gallery to has been mightily impressed with it as well. Even more than with my photos. :( But I can live with that. :)

That is a basic link to that particular photo, when e.g. people want to discuss it in forums. It's not retaining size etc. because it is the "easy link" :)

If you need to have the size path info added to the link, you only need to know the variable name for that size path.

Example:
If the variable name for that size path is "quarter", and EE gives an easy link...

http://photography-on-the.net/gallery/photo.php?photo=210&exhibition=1

...just add &size=quarter to the end of that link so you get...

http://photography-on-the.net/gallery/photo.php?photo=210&exhibition=1&size=quarter

... which gets you straight away to the big photo.

If you need to link to someone elses photo and you don't know the size path variables, you can view the html source and you'll see the variable names there inside the last FORM code.
