Location links

[dscottf]

In Settings, Locations there is "URL to more info"

I have entered most of the URL, but I can't see where they are used.

I would like them to be used in the photo.php when clicking on the location (rather than the default "view and search a list..." function)

There must be a setting somewhere

ahhh, not a setting, i don't think... in the picture data under the picture that tells the settings of the camera, the photographer, the camera, and all that... if there's a URL in the location data, then the location should end up being a link... i don't have any locations with URLs (yet) but based on how the camera, lens, and photographer turn into links, i believe this would be the same for the location... i'll try it on a couple of mine and see... that is if i can find URLs for my locations ;)

oh yes... this also means that you need to display the photodata and have the location as one of those items about the photo displayed...

ok, if my speculations above are correct, then it seems that you've found a "bug"... a "bug" in that turning on location in the photo data does not also result in the location becoming a link like photographer, camera and lens do... only pekka can really fix this... i could probably find it and make a/the code change but pekka really needs to do this... seems that state also needs to be added somewhere as i don't see anything like state in the locations stuff...

there's a lot of changes happening from previous versions and state may not even be a viable field any more... in any case, the quick research without digging into the code shows that the autolink creation of location is broken if it is to be like the other three already mentioned...

looking at the code, this is a portion that pekka has worked on in the past.. not sure what the status is but it is in photodetails.php...

Personally I do not want to have to enter a state as we dont have then. :D

i understand that... i made that comment because there are fields or code for it but not the other... i've spotted a few kinda like this... just haven't written them down 'cause i know that pekka is working from the master plan sheet ;)
