link to image file instead of attachment link about better-wordpress-gallery

[mikemattner]

First, I'm assuming you want the thumbnail images to link to the image file rather than the attachment page. To do that you just need to add an attribute in your gallery shortcode. Normally you'd use the following to insert your gallery:

[gallery ids="6147,6131"] 

In order to link to the file add the attribute link="file", like so:

[gallery ids="6147,6131" link="file"]. 

To see all of the possible gallery attributes, take a look at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode.

Alternatively, if you wanted that functionality by default, you might add the following to your theme's functions file:

function new_gallery_shortcode_defaults( $output, $attr ) {
    global $post;
    $attr = array(
        'link' => 'file'
    );
    return $output;
}
add_filter( 'post_gallery', 'new_gallery_shortcode_defaults', 10, 2 );

I hope that helps. Let me know if you were after something else.
