NivoGallery the easiest way to create an awesome gallery

Quote from: artemioz at Jul 13, 2011, 05:13 AM

I’m waiting impatiently for the update! Please, let us know when it is available for downloading.
Thank you in advance

I will do some further testing tonight to make sure everything is working as intended since the previous version had some issues with 2.0.8 since it renders drop down list TV differently from 2.1.1

I just want to make sure it works for all versions of Revo without any issues

Unfortunately it looks like NivoGallery will not be released today trying to figure out why it won’t work with Revo 2.1.2 everything works but Gallery phpThumb is not generating the images for me.

I apologize for the inconvenience but I’d rather you hate me for not releasing it on time than for it not working on your site.

I will update this post when I release it, for the latest status you can follow me on Twitter

Again my apologies.

[UPDATE] NivoGallery has been approved install via MODx package manager, remember to leave feedback thanks and enjoy.

NivoGallery 1.0.1 has been submitted for approval

Here is the changes made in this version, please provide feedback either on my site on on the forums, if you need support follow me on Twitter.

More updates to come shortly, thanks for your support.

it works!!! Thank you a lot!

I need the advice, please. I would like to put the gallery in chunk, not to view it in a template. Are there any options how to do that?

What exactly do you want to do? Just customize the nivogallery template and make sure not to delete or move any of the TVs if you want to have different pages just duplicate nivogallery template and customize it how ever you wish.

I made this as simple as I could but calling it as a chunk wont happen TVs have to be at specific places of the template in order for it to work properly.

Bruno I’m curious to know what this achieves I will try it tonigh but if you have a working sample you can share that would be great.

If it’s something that NivoGallery can’t do I would probably incorporate it into a future update

add this TV to your nivoGallery - template

and change in the nivoGallery - chunk:

[[!Gallery? &album=`[[*nivoAlbum]]` &thumbTpl=`nivoRowTpl` &thumbWidth=`[[*nivoImageWidth]]` &thumbHeight=`[[*nivoImageHeight]]` &thumbProperties=`{"iar":"1"}` &thumbZoomCrop=`0`]]

to

[[!getImageList? &tvname=`migxnivogallery` &tpl=`nivoRowTpl` ]]

don’t forget to create a image-tv with name ’image’ and don’t add this TV to any template.

That’s what I actually want to do. I need to insert a document with Nivo Template in my main template. I’m wonderring if there is an option to insert it (not like <iframe>) but using Modx resources, like to insert chunks or TVs.

Thanks

This just replaces the gallery-output with MIGX-output.
You don’t know MIGX?
Some Infos here: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/MIGX

you use a TV to add the records to your slideshow instaed of creating gallery-albums.

Artemioz just copy and paste your html code to the nivogallery template but make sure to keep the template variables in the same places in your html code it will work fine.

Just make sure you make a duplicate of the nivogallery template that way you always have an original template to go back to that works.

I will post more detailed instructions later tonight if you don’t understand how to edit the nivogallery template.
