Hi,
I have added a custom field following the directions in this post:

It works in a normal blog post template however, it acts the same old way when using bfthumbs. Any ideas?
Thanks

in the the bfthumbs layout you can add a custom field name for a custom link:
1. add a sid parameter to the bfthumbs. sid="bfthumbs-external". Update the post.
2. Click the insert/update a shortcode button.
3. Select the shortcode in the "current post shortcode" dropdown list and click the bfthumbs layout button.
4. Add the items wanted to be shown by the bfthumbs shortcode.
5. Click on the image, title to add the cf-link name (custom field name where the custom link for the post is added).
6. press save changes.

Works wonders, thank you!
Now regarding the bfthumbs layout. After saving changes to the bfthumb layout and updated the post, I can't seem to load that particular layout as there is no load bfthumbs layout button unless I press save once more, but that would override my previous layout.

the bfthumbs shortcode must have a sid parameter (shortcode ID. every shortcode should have a unique sid.) for the layout button to appear, that means the shortcode must be first inserted and the post updated, then it will appear in the current post shortcode list. Also another thing to note is that when you update a shortcode with the update button the post is changed, but when exiting the shortcode GUI the edited post must be reloaded to reflect the changes (pressing the exit button in the shortcode GUI will reload the edited post automatically).
