Hi all,
well I want to be able to have a gallery of images for every content page I create. What is the best option? I don't want to use the easy gallery ( using {gallery}folder-path{/gallery} ) because I prefer to have the thumbnails on the side and the images viewed next to it. Like IOS Gallery's Galleriffic view.
I want to be able to add a galleriffic view of certain photos on many different content pages.
Any thoughts?
Also installed Star Gallery to see what that could do
-
Only IOS Gallery/Galleriffic has such a view as the one you need.
I advice you to use easy gallery. It is the best option for the purpose you want.
For each gallery set create a folder and place your images there. This way you will also be able to easily distinguish your image galleries and you want have to install a special component.
-
yes I understand that. Just that Easy Galley loads the images in a popup like manner. Hmmm I'll see what I can do. there is also Star Gallery but since it is a component I will have the same problems I had with IOS Gallery
-
are there any parameters for easy gallery or another bot that loads the images at a position within the page ? Like the galleriffic of IOS Gallery
-
will simple image gallery plugin PRO do the job? I'll have to buy it
-
found a joomla one. can it be installed?

Found this: http://www.kreacom.dk/mambots/multithumb.html
It does get installed and works fine. Not exactly what I was looking for but a good plugin none the less :)

JOOMPLA PLUGINS (components, modules exc) DO NOT WORK ON ELXIS
It may seem to be working, but with back end problems surely.
-
so you advice me not to use it
-
Of course not!
-
not even this one:

Uninstalled it.
Going to give up and just use easy gallery

IOS NoobSlide (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/com_downloads/sliders-scrollers-tabs/207.html) creates an effect as the one you show us in the joomla's galleries. Note that IOS Noobslide is a module, not a bot.

Thanks for that. Looks nice.
Being a module though, I need to place it on a certain position on the page. I cannot have it on every article with different pictures in it right?
-
-you can have multiply copies in several autonomous pages...
a trick.. if you have a few articles..
-you can make links to content-articles in a hidden menu and then create IOS NoobSlide - copies that you will assign to certain articles
-
OK,
I will give it a go. This is going to be used on many articles though.
What it is , is like a real estate site, where a visitor goes through categories of houses and building for sale or rent etc.
Now every house or building will have its own pictures to display.
So this might even be too much for it, and only the use of easy gallery might be appropriate.
If it could only popup the images in different ways.
-
if this is the case ... it is not suitable
you need a bot to load pictures from a certain gallery category or a folder
-
yes I thought so. And the only bot I have available (or know of) is Easy Gallery.
