    Hey ??
    I use the 500px gallery and the swipebox.
    You set up the great, great option to get linked to the related picture directly in ones 500px website via the titel link, in the swipebox. Wonderful.
    Only: No one get the idea to click the textlink, because no one ones that it is a link. Even if it is oldschool blued and underlined. Tried it with 23 persons of all ages. Actually myself found it by accident.

    Suggestion: What if – if it is possible – you include the little external link icon, witch is well known enough?

    That, or something similar would greater this Option to great, great, great.

    Best regards

    That is something you can probably add via some custom CSS. You could use this as a selector:

    #swipebox-title a:after {
    content: url(https://link-to-your-icon.png);
}

    This will add the link icon at the end of the link.

    I normally try to avoid adding too much to the default lightbox behaviour, if possible, particularly if it can be resolved via minor CSS additions. The snippet I provided above is a fairly easy and unobtrusive way to achieve this functionality, I believe.

    Dearest Sayontan Sinha,

    this is a very good idea, and it works fine.
    In the line two ” are missing, so the correct phrase is:

    #swipebox-title a:after {
    content: url(“https://link-to-your-icon.png”);
    }

    Thank you!
