Couple of Album Questions

[matterhornpat]

Trying to accomplish two different things...not at the same time.

1. How can I display multiple thumbs from a single gallery? All I can seem to get is the gallery thumb with the (X pictures in the gallery) underneath. Would like to display a row of thumbnails.


2. Is there a way to place an album on a page, and have the 'next photo' link there already? Just to flip through the pictures?

Thanks for any help...

I'm assuming you want this solved for Album module, as it is what you put in the subject

1. How can I display multiple thumbs from a single gallery? All I can seem to get is the gallery thumb with the (X pictures in the gallery) underneath. Would like to display a row of thumbnails.

In page editor, set your page content type to 'content' and put {cms_module module='album' albums='n'} in the content window.
'n' being the ID of the album (or comma-separated ID's of multiple albums) you want to display.
For more options, check Album module help file.

2. Is there a way to place an album on a page, and have the 'next photo' link there already? Just to flip through the pictures?

If you use the above module call as is, all thumbs will be shown, no 'next' link needed.
Try the above, refer to help file, then come back for help if needed.

Thanks for the replies.

Got the multiple thumbs working, thanks Halm...

As for the 'next' link, I am looking at two different applications...the multiple thumbs is now addresses.

The other is wanting to just show a single image from the album with a next link to allow people to go through the pics without a pop-up or generating a dynamic album page. Just the image, that will click and show the next in the exact same space.

Thanks again!

You might want to try out some of the available templates for Album module.
The one called Simple-Separate-Pages does pretty much what you describe, but the cMotion Image Gallery does the same with a sliding thumbnail bar. How can you resist that?

I have a question or two about this module also.  I'm trying to use it here:
http://www.tcadp.org/cmsms/index.php?pa ... e-killings

My problem (one of them) is that the wonderful moving div containing the thumbnails is too wide for the page.  It turns out this is set at max-width=1000px in the javascript file.

It's in modules/Album/templates/db/js/motiongallery.js.

I'm not able to modify this file at all.  I get fatal errors every time I try, and I also cannot modify the permissions.  I can't replace it with another file.

I'm very new at dealing with stuff at this level, so there's probably a good reason.

Next thing I'm going to try is to modify the stylesheet and make a div that's the right width, to try to contain this.  Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Looks like it's [solved] ?...

Oh, yes I did!  I made a new div to enclose the whole slideshow:

Code: Select all

#albumborder /*for statekillings photo album*/
{
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 2em;
border: 8px solid #112233;
padding: 2em;
overflow: hidden;
}

I'll show it off (many hours of work in this, feeling very stoked...)
