I'm using this module to display a slideshow of images (without any text) in a panel on my homepage. Images are uploaded as image attachments. The slideshow is created as a "slideshow list" view. The view is set in "Fields" to Image Attach: Display Image with "image with link to attaching node". This allows users to click on an image in the slideshow and be directed to the node with the additional text and other elements. Because the images just link to the nodes that they are attached to it leaves me little flexibility in the content I can include on the page. Instead I would like to link each slideshow image to a panels page with a variety of content on it. Wondering how to get slideshow images to link to custom urls. I think there was a default option to do this in CCK_Slideshow but looks like that module has been deprecated. Any ideas are welcome?

I made a content type for the slides, and placed the images in the node body, not as attachments. There you can tag the image in the normal way, linking to anywhere.

Thanks for the suggestion. That worked fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. One note... be careful with Input Formats... in my Drupal 5 install, Full HTML and Filtered HTML were adding <p> and </p> tags which created unwanted space above the slideshow images. You can get around this by using a custom Input format that doesn't apply any filters.
