Hi SumoLari,

By default WP Carousel does not support adding just images (it is designed to add posts and pages), but with Extras I think it is possible to create a new Extra that allows to add images from WordPress media manager.
If you give me some days, I’ll try to create that Extra.
But in any case, you can use customized content and manually set the URL of the image and the URL of the link.
And about the shadowbox that is opened when you click on the image, you have to check how works your shadowbox and modify your WP Carousel theme to work with it. Some shadowboxes just look for links with rel=”lightbox” and when you click a link with that rel, it shows the image in the modal window. But other shadowboxes work in a different way so I can’t tell you how to integrate it as I don’t know what shadowbox are you using.

Yes, it didnt cross my mind, i cant set the thumbnail for image link and the link for the real full size image. Thanks
Btw the Extra your talking about sounds great, have like a new layer pop sort of like lightbox and envoke the media manager, then from there we can create thumbnails and have the link copied by carousel automatically for both full image and thumbnail. the thumbnail can be automatically crop by using the size set in Carousel’s settings (panel size)

I’m not sure if I will be able to create the Extra. I’ve been trying to get a list of media of the media library and I can’t. I’ll investigate more, but I’m not sure about the Extra… sorry.

This topic hasn’t any reply for two months, so I’ve decided closing it in order to prevent mixing old questions and new ones.
