Question Display a specific thumbnail inside an external page? (Sort of like Promote)

Hi all,

I have question that's related to the great Promote addon that has been posted, but involves a distinct challenge. I'm hoping someone familiar with PHP/scripting knows how to do it.

While viewing a photo, I'd like a PP user to be able to click on a link that takes them to a specific page in my Joomla-powered site, but where I have carved out a space for the specific thumbnail of the photo they were just viewing. This is different from the Promote addon's 'random' or 'recent' feature, because I just want this one particular thumbnail.

Essentially, I need to be able to take a photo's pixelpost ID, then load a Joomla page with the Promote module that then loads that ID's thumb.

I'm sure there's a correct, technical way to explain this "passing" of variables, but I hope it's clear what I'd like to be able to do. Anybody have ideas?

Many thanks in advance,

e
