Launch a Gallery From a Single Thumbnail?
  • I'm trying to launch a gallery of related images from a single thumbnail instead of from a grid of multiple thumbnails.
    Is this possible? If so what's the best course of action.

    Thanks!
  • Hi,
    create your gallery as usual and wrap the a href... - tags of the thumbnails which should not be visible with a (span style="display: none")...(/span). If done so only the thumbnails desired will be visible but the gallery works with all images!
    /cs
  • Worked perfectly.
    Thanks CS!
  • Thanks for the answer cs.

    Nice to see others help my small community :)
  • That works fine, but now the gallery view shows all of the images from that page. I have three thumbnails with two large gallery pictures each. If I click on the first thumbnail, I can click through all 6 gallery items. the two first ones correspond to the thumbnails, but the others two don't. How can I break this link?
  • I have the problem that i already have the menu's but my images start at image 11 instead of image 1. Anybody have a solution for that?

    www.bouwbedrijffarahani.nl/portfolio.html for a example.

    I'm new at webdesign, I'm not sure how to do what you are saying here? I want to do this, but I'm not sure how to do what you are talking about. Can you be more specific, please?
    Thank you!!
  • Ah, well, when you are using my pPGallery-Joomla! plugin, didn't know...
  • I have followed this method and it surely does work. Unfortunately, using CSS "display: none" on the thumbnails you don't want to see on the main page, makes invisible also the "title=" tags used for description, so the 1st image (the only visible) may have a descriptive text, while all the others (the hidden thumbnails) are shown with no description.
    Does anybody have a solution/alternate way to show the descrptions for *all* images of a gallery triggered by a single thumbnail?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  • @bryn: when using the ppgallery-plugin for Joomla! (like NSPRWA is doing) it will work fine with title and alt-elements used for the caption and description in the lightbox.
    And also when using the above mentioned method on a "hand-written" html-page, it will work fine!
    Where (in which tag) are you putting the "display: none;"? Can you provide an url to the site where it is *not* working as expected?

Howdy, Stranger!
