Title: Using IOS Gallery
Post by: ROUBOS on January 05, 2010, 17:48:26

How do we use IOS GALLERY?
I want to use the Galleriffic (jQuery) view. (category view)

When I use {gallery}path to folder/{/gallery} , I get thumbnails that popup the image.

I would like the category view that shows the thumbnails on the side and the image opening up next to them. Do I need some parameters? how does it work?

thanks

I think I know what I'm doing wrong.
What is the process under components>ios gallery for creating a gallery?

Create category, then how do we add the pictures for the gallery?

So this is for one only gallery per site? Can't I have a gallery per page? Like a different gallery for every document page on my site?

So I add a category, then add 3 pictures, then I enter the following code:

{gallery}category:3{/gallery}

3 is the category id. but it is not displaying it. Getting a PHP error cause the folder is not found in images/stories/ ???

can someone walk me through the steps of creating an IOS Image gallery?
the IOS Image gallery wiki does not say anything.
Tells you what you can do, but not how...

EDIT:>>>> no one? :(

how do I use this gallery? How do I create one? do I use the following: {gallery}category:6{/gallery} ???? This does not work for me. I get a php error cause instead of accessing the created category with category ID:6, it's looking for a folder named category:6

???

OK I created a gallery page from a menu item and the gallery works.
Now according to this page http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Easy_Gallery
I can use easy gallery to display category images in any content page with the use of {gallery}category:8{/gallery}
this is not working.

???

I cannot believe it says you can do it using the simple gallery bot. Displaying a Category from the IOS gallery, and it just does not work. :(

If you search the forum you will see that there is a conflict between the gallery and some of the other extensions or templates.

Therefore there will probably be a small number of users for this.

wiki says something else too..
Don't use this Bot on pages where you use other Javascript libraries such as jQuery as you will face javascript conflicts and Easy Gallery wont work.


check first for conflicts...

which tpl you have ?

Thanks for the replies. Will look into it.

Another question. How does IOS Gallery store the images? I have created the categories. But isn't it easier to upload the images via FTP? Using a different folder per category? Placing them under images/stories?

It doesn't store the images.  You can upload an entire directory of images using ftp.  It only creates thumbnails.

Hi,
Easy Gallery was not installed. I had the Simple Image Gallery installed but that did not work. it needed Easy Gallery and the server was on Safe-mode not allowing me to install the bot.

I figured it all out now and I think I know what I'm doing..

thanks for all your help.

and sorry for the multiple posts.

EDIT>>> Will easy gallery work with Star Gallery? using {gallery}folder_path{/gallery} ?
