Adding link to an album

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#1

I want to add a link to an image that is on a Page that will take the viewer to an Album when the image is clicked on.

What do I put in the html href string as the destination so that one is taken to the Album? Is it the index.html file in one of the folders (master, photos, thumbnails) inside the Album folder on the server? I’m using the Galleria add-on.

Thanks
Bob

I like the shortcodes that were introduced with Backlight 5: Writing Copy in Backlight | Backlight

Following line creates a photo that links to an album:

<a href="[album:123456]"><img src="[photo:123456_12345]"></a>

Or using markdown:
[![ALT TEXT]([photo:123456_12345])]([album:123456] )

The two references can be found in Backlight’s Publisher interface.
