Envira Gallery - Deeplinking Addon

Gallery pages often hold dozens of images, and sending someone to one particular photo can be awkward. Visitors land on the gallery and have to find the right picture themselves. This addon solves that by assigning a unique, indexable URL to each image or video, so a link can point exactly where you want it.

It works inside Envira Gallery. As people move through the lightbox, the URL hash updates to match the current item without a page reload, and they can copy it to share or bookmark. When the lightbox closes, the hash is cleared so the page address stays tidy. Deeplinking can be switched on or off in the gallery settings.

Features

• Unique URL for every item: Each image or video in your gallery gets its own indexable URL, which lets search engines crawl individual media items and lets you link to one specific piece.
• Automatic URL hash updates: As visitors browse the gallery, the URL changes to reflect the item on screen. This happens without a page reload, so navigation and sharing stay in sync.
• Simple direct sharing: Copy the URL of any photo or video to share or bookmark it. Anyone who opens the link goes straight to that item.
• Toggle in gallery settings: Turn deeplinking on or off from a single setting in your gallery's configuration. You can use it on the galleries that need it.
• Clean URL after closing: Once the lightbox is closed, the addon clears the URL hash. Your page addresses remain neat and easy to read.
• Better visitor navigation: Visitors can return to or point others toward a precise gallery item, which makes browsing photo and video galleries more interactive.
• Works with Envira Gallery setups: The addon is built to work with Envira Gallery configurations and themes, so your gallery keeps its existing look and behavior.
