Dear Forum

Im in the process of creating a guide/documentation and I try to find a tag where I can place single images, from the same gallery, various places in the article, is that possible?

Thx in advance

and thx Joomlaworks, for a great plugin

Could you be more specific please?

Hi Katia

Thx for your reply.

Example:

txt1 goes here: bla bla bla

Picture1 goes here: {gallery}images/picture1{/gallery}

txt2 goes here: bla bla bla

Picture2 goes here: {gallery}images/picture2{/gallery}

and so on, how can I do that? Or is it even possible?

Thx in advance
Michael

So you want to add galleries or images? SIG pro displays galleries...
The only option you have is to select the single mode option for thumbnails at SIG PRO parameters in order to display just the first thumb of a gallery in an article and only when you open the pop you may see the rest images.

Hi Katia

I kinda wanna do both, I thought it would be a nice feature for my users/readers to just click the picture if they wanted a closer look and a popup appears instead of just linking the images. But as you say SIGpro is a gallery plug. Ive been using it for 2 years, and I really like it.

I thought there maybe was a possibillity to control which image to show in single image mode.

No I am afraid that this is not possible.

Hi Michael, I solved this way.

It may not be the best way, but it saves you from changing the code.

1)
Create a folder (in the root images folder set in the plugin) with a little transparent image (I called this folder "empty")

2)
Clone the folder template /plugins/content/jw_sigpro/jw_sigpro/tmpl/Elegant into /plugins/content/jw_sigpro/jw_sigpro/tmpl/no-border and change in this folder the file /css/template.css as attachment.
Just change the borders from 14px to 0px here:
UL.sigProElegant LI.sigProThumb A.sigProLink:hover {...}
UL.sigProElegant LI.sigProThumb A.sigProLink {...}

For each image you want to show the lightbox, set the link of the image to the image path and the rel attribute to lightbox so that the <a> tag contains rel="linghtbox". If you assign a value to title attribute it will be shown in the lightbox.

For each article in which you want to use the lightbox and there aren't other galleries, add this invisible gallery:
{gallery}empty/:1:1:0:0::no-border{/gallery}
If there is at least one gallery in the article, no need to add the invisible gallery.

Hope this helps.
