However I am chuffed to say with my fairly average php skills I found a fix which I have used to then link to my attachement images in a lightbox. Its not theme based which will mean it will get thorwn out with updates I guess – but I don’t know how else one would do it and I couldn’t find a solution that worked on the net.

So heres what I did:

1, Install a lightbox plugin or hardcode the lightbox script into your theme. I have used various ones – Lightbox plus being the latest. This will then automcially insert the lightbox script into your page allowing us to hardcode a rel statement into the link to our image.

2, Now in wp-includes find the media.php file and find the lines with:

foreach ( $attachments as $id => $attachment ) {
$link = isset($attr['link']) && ‘file’ == $attr['link'] ? wp_get_attachment_link($id, $size, false, false) : wp_get_attachment_link($id, $size, true, false);
which is about line 852 in my current version of wordpress

now delete the $size I have bolded above and save

3, Find the post-template.php file and on line 1174 (my version of wordpress 3.2.1) it says:

return apply_filters( ‘wp_get_attachment_link’, “<a href=’$url’ title=’$post_title’>$link_text</a>”, $id, $size, $permalink, $icon, $text );
}

now insert rel=’lightbox’ after the post_title section so it reads

return apply_filters( ‘wp_get_attachment_link’, “<a href=’$url’ title=’$post_title’ rel=’lightbox’>$link_text</a>”, $id, $size, $permalink, $icon, $text );
}

That will then make your image link to its file, not the attachment page. It will also prevent the cropping that occurs in gallery which is what I wanted.

If you have a further question about coding and stuff – dont ask me as my php skills at this level are weak at best – but I was so amazed I found a solution I thought I’d share it.

Now, down the line, the business has expanded and so has the web-presence. Muddy Boots now have their own corporate website built in our CMS of choice, over which they can take total control, editing all site content, images, slideshows etc visible here .

The e-commerce side of the business is now Muddy Boots Foodhall, a website built using Volusions online software, which offers favourable transaction rates and costs.

The Master Herbalist required an online shop from which they could retail all their wares online as well as providing a platform to carry out b to b transactions.

Their site is 100% manageable from an online control panel, where multiple staff members, including a seperate fulfillment warehouse, are able to add and remove products and view current orders. We also provided consultation on the setting up of Google Adwords to help advertise the store and drive traffic to it.

The Master Herbalist has seen a steady increase in turn over through their website and it has become a key part of their marketing and planning strategy.
