Hi,

I really need some help with outputting galleries. Been reading documentation, but it’s a bit overwhelming for me

I will have approx 150 galleries and I want them all displayed, I tried using [[!GalleryAlbums?]], all galleries are listed, but only their titles in list are visible, clicking on them doesn’t do nothing.

Primitive display of what I want to achieve:




Also, after clicking on Gallery thumbnail, all thumbnails of clicked gallery appear. When I click on thumbnail bigger picture appears preferably with lightbox 2 or lytebox

I learned that I need to edit galAlbumRowTpl, but I’m not sure what exactly to edit.



I used easy2gallery and maxigallery in modx evolution before, which was way more easier Smiley
It would be really nice if some one could help me out.

@wonderland: sounds like this thread may show you the way: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,59336.0.html

Would it be possible use a TV with this, or add another field? I need the ability to assign a second unique id that is alphanumeric rather than just an auto incremented id based on upload order.

I was wondering about the caching of the images with phpthumb. I have been getting high cpu usage when using phpthumb and read that even if the image is cached it still has run the script to find that the image is cached. Has Gallery got the option to check if a file exits before running the phpthumb script to see if I can reduce the cpu load?

This site has some info on it but not sure if it’s relevant.

Hi
Is there a way to have the position of an image in an album in the galItemThumb chunk?
I want to display 4 images per row and the last image need to have the class "last" added in <div class="[[+cls]]">
Regards

You can do this with javascript. If you are using jquery have a look here
There is another solution using float elements but it might not be for you.

Hi cipa
You’re da man
Thanks

Thanx for this nice plugin, I like everything about it and the templating possibilities really make me love this addon.
The only problem I have with this plugin is that there is no way to use more TV’s with it or is there?
Evogallery for MODx Evolution offers much more flexibility because it handles the albums like resources, so that I can do whatever I like with them.
Adding uploadify (multiple file upload) and ability to use TV’s would make this addon really perfect.

I have posted a question about internationalisation in Gallery : http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,62111.new.html#new
