Gallery: Single Image on Content Page

[caigner]

On one of my content pages I want to display a thumbnail of an image, and when I click on that thumbnail I want to display the image in lightbox.

I tried this in my content, but it doesn't show the thumbnail or the image:

Code: Select all

{Gallery dir="misc" img="myImage.jpg"}

The path to my image file is

Code: Select all

uploads/images/Gallery/misc 

Any help is appreciated.

I think it needs to be the image number, I just did a test with:

Code: Select all

{Gallery img=1}

and it did what you're asking.

Hmm... looks simple. How do I integrate this in my HTML?

At the moment I have something like this:

Code: Select all

<p>How to reach us (click to enlarge):</p>
<a href="https://cms.mydomain.com/uploads/images/map.jpg">
  <img src="https://cms.mydomain.com/uploads/images/map_320x240.jpg" width="320px" height="240px" title="map" alt="map">
</a>

Should I delete the whole link + img and replace it with {Gallery img=1} ?
How does the gallery know which image I want to display?

I tried

Code: Select all

<p>How to reach us (click to enlarge):</p>
{Gallery dir="/images" img="map.jpg"}

but that didn't work.

I would make a Gallery single-image template that includes the link, so you could just do

Code: Select all

<p>How to reach us (click to enlarge):</p>
{Gallery img=1 template='my-template'}

You get the image number from the Gallery module - it's to the left of the image in the list when you open a gallery. I don't think there's a way to call a specific image by filename or title unless you create a template that tests for that in the foreach.

It might also be worth considering NOT using the Gallery module for this - if it's just in one or two spots I would hardcode it in the page template, and/or create a content_image field. Gallery seems a bit overkill for just adding one image with a lightbox.
