XF 2.2 Lightslider and Media Albums

[Donske]

At the top of my forum, I have a Lightslider that is pulling images from a Media Album that I have set up in the Media. They are all thumbnails. There is one aspect that I would like to modify if possible.
Whenever one of those 'thumbnails' are clicked on, of course, it takes you to that particular image in the Media Album. I wish I could change that whenever someone clicks on 'any' image in the slider, they will be taken to another webpage. Is this possible? I looked at these templates below and cannot find that I can add my own URL instead of the images being linked back to the Media Gallery.

xfmg_widget_media_slider XenForo Media Gallery

If a user clicks on any image, they are referred to the Media Gallery. I would like to modify so that if any image is clicked on, they will go to a URL.

I was wondering if anyone is willing or has any knowledge on how to modify so that if "any" image is clicked on, I can change the URL to my choosing.

The content is actually populated using the xfmg_album_list_macros and xfmg_media_list_macros templates.

You can edit those to change the URL but you will likely need to use a conditional statement to ensure the URL is only changed in the slider.

Thank you Brogan !!!

I edited these lines, and it worked. This is what I wanted ....No matter where you hover your mouse over within the slider, I can now link to a page I have set up. However, probably overkill as I probably can go back and see which one is actually performing the task. I did not edit the album_list_macros as I wanted to leave the standard Media alone for users and not have any embedded stuff there.
I am not sure about any conditional statements (as I am not a programmer), but I will keep my eye on this to see if it causes any other problems.
