I've got a site under construction with SIGP running perfectly, Joomla 3.4, modified Protostar template.

When a user clicks on a gallery, and the first image pops up, it is labeled, "Image 1 of 10," for instance. But the navigation arrow doesn't appear unless you hover over the image. I don't see any control for forcing the navigation arrows to always appear, regardless of the mouse position.

This is not a problem where all images in the gallery are about the same size, it seems, because when the first image pops, the mouse position is always over the image, and the right nav arrow appears. But when a smaller image pops up, the mouse may not be over it, and thus no arrow appears at all until the user mouses over the new image. Not intuitive for the user.

Is there a way to force the nav arrows to always appear, regardless of whether the mouse is over the image?

TIA!

Hi,

This is how the specific popup engine works. If it does not fit your needs you can opt for different popup engine at the settings page of Simple Image Gallery PRO.

Thanks. There a LOT of choices! Is there anywhere on the JoomlaWorks site where I can see how the various different popup engines might look?

Yes, of course. Check out the demo page at demo.joomlaworks.net/simple-image-gallery-pro .

Thank you. After a lot of experimenting, I have found that for the client involved with this site, the Pretty Photo popup engine is probably the best looking in terms of how it functions - except for the Facebook stuff, which the business is not at all involved in.

I had a brief look at the code, and the Facebook feature is embedded in the engine, I think. Is there any simple way to turn off all of that Facebook material by editing a Simple Image Gallery Pro file? Ordinarily I would hide the affected elements via CSS, but that doesn't appear to be possible here. Even if I could, each popup window would load a lot of code I don't need, and would slow down the display.

You should be able to hide the button with CSS:
