Galleries and calls

Ok, I figured out some basic things in MODx and now I want to know how to put some galleries in my site.

What I’m trying to get is:

root
| Main galleries
| club 1
| gallery 1
| gallery 2
| etc...
| club 2
| gallery 1
| gallery 2
| etc...
| club 3
| gallery 1
| gallery 2
| etc...
| club # etc...


...and the option the webusers can leave comments on each gallery.

???????????????’ What is the best and simple way to do this !??!


This is what I done so far:
-> created folder "galleries" (page id = 48), I put on it call

-> in that folder I created "club 1" (name of the club), and subfolder named e.x. "gallery 1"; I put on it call


The problem is that I only see "Main galleries" and 3 example pic’s on it, as it no subfolders are present...


Could you help me?

C’mon...I know you know how to deal this!!!!


Pretty please with cherry on top!

I didn’t quite understand that what was your problem...? Also, which maxigallery version are you using? And also, if you want to get commenting possibility to each picture separately, that can be done like this:

1. Create a new chunk with the default maxigallery pictureTpl template code from maxigallery/templates/picturetpl.html, call it mgPictureTplComment for example.

2. Then in that template, add your jot call (you can modify any of the parameters, but keep that &tagid):

[[Jot? &subscribe=`1` &tagid=`[+maxigallery.picture.id+]` &pagination=`10` &badwords=`something` &customfields=`name,email` &canmoderate=`Jot Moderators` &trusted=`Jot Trusted Users`]]

3. Create the gallery documents, set them to be uncached, and call MaxiGallery using (+add any parameters you want):

[[MaxiGallery? &pictureTpl=`mgPictureTplComment`]]

I would like to deal the gallery problem itself, then I’m gonna move on to commenting pictures if you don’t mind hehe But on that case I followed up the tut on Wiki -> http://modxcms.com/MaxiGallery-PhotoBloggin-0.html

Hmm...how to explain better?

Bassicly I don’t know how exactly to call the snippet to get the structure what I want (drawed in the first post)

I’m using 0.9.6 RC1 and included maxigallery in it

The photoblogging resource page (not a wiki page) is applicable for v0.4.1, don’t know what version you are using, but if you use v0.5 then use what I posted above. Much easier.

| Main galleries [!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!] will show a link to all galleries that are under this document.
| club 1 [!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!] will show a link to all galleries that are under this document.
| gallery 1 [!MaxiGallery!]
| gallery 2 [!MaxiGallery!]
| etc... [!MaxiGallery!]
| club 2 [!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!] will show a link to all galleries that are under this document.
| gallery 1 [!MaxiGallery!]
| gallery 2 [!MaxiGallery!]
| etc... [!MaxiGallery!]
| club 3 [!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!] will show a link to all galleries that are under this document.
| gallery 1 [!MaxiGallery!]
| gallery 2 [!MaxiGallery!]

Have you seen this thread: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,12195.0.html

Hey! Thanks for the reply and the answer! I was just reading it @ the moment! Sorry for double themes posting!

P.S. now I have another "problem"

I use friendly URLs and the link for my sub gallery is something like "mysite.com/name-of-the-gallery"

What can I do to have it linked like "mysite.com/galleries/club1/gallery1"
if it’s regarding this gallery:
| Main galleries
| club 1
| gallery 1


I used this just for an example...

Thanks a million! That did the trick

Hmm...I’m just looking...... and I don’t see any subfolder (call in a document is [!MaxiGallery? &display=`childgalleries`!])

The end of the gallery itself seems fine. Can it be some template issue or what?

EDIT! I called it with [!Ditto? &depth=`1`!] and outputs what it works for me.... can I made a custom template for this call?


P.S. I will wrote some wiki about all this regarding Maxigalleries for beginners, so don’t think your posts are waste of time

If you don’t have any pictures in the galleries yet, childgalleries display mode won’t list them. And yes, you can use Ditto to list them if you want, refer to Ditto documentation on how to use it. You can even use MaxiGallery inside Ditto’s templates to pic up images from the galleries that Ditto lists.

This is what I currently have: [!Ditto? &depth=`1` &sortDir=`ASC`!]

Q: how do I sort them alphabetical?

P.S. I will try to play with some templating tommorrow
