I need simple animated mast images, but I also want to specify a link for each image. So made a few quick amendments so that this hacked version of Christopher Ross‘ Cross Slide Cross Fade plugin will do the trick.

crossslide-jquery-plugin-for-wordpress-hacked

A field to enter link url, images with links will display the urls in admin, link to them on the front-end

Caveats:

• Haven’t made it work with the Ken Burns option, though that shouldn’t be too hard to figure out if anybody realy needs it.
• When loading a link along with an image the information is combined as an array and saved where the official plugin would expect to see only a  image url, so if changing back to the oficial plugin at some point things could break. Probably est to delete the images with links through the interface before that happens, unless Mr Ross decides to include some of this in the official versions future versions.
