Modular setup of external caroussel in smoothgallery

Hi,

I tried that to (did not work), but in that posting he does more then just setting the.

Did you try the script he adds in the html?
Would be nice to get that up and running.

The script is being set in another file. I’ve started a new post for a vertical external carousel.

Managed to get a test gallery working but the opacity on the carousel is just 0.2 i need this much higher but am not 100% sure where to change it. The only thing I could find was thumbIdleOpacity: 0.2 in jd.gallery.js, but that didn’t have any affect.

Hi,

I tried following, however that did not work, possibly because that should be set somewhere in the maxigallery.php

Maybe with this threat someone else could intgrate that in MG?

Best, Frank.

Does anyone else’s carousel scroll at all? I only want to show 4 thumbnails under my main image, but I hneed the carousel to scroll to show the additional thumbnails.

Try this in your MaxiGallery snippet call:

&smoothgallery_thumbIdleOpacity=`1`

In the sticky s there is this linkk:

Last you should create a chunk or insert directly in your template the following. This is containing the info zone

      <div class="info">
      <div id="myInfoContainer" class="jdGallery"></div>
      </div>

Not clear on this instruction - assume I simply paste it on the page somewhere - below the MaxiGallery call?

That code is CSS which gets added to the CSS file...

You are using &smoothgallery_carouselElement=`carousel` &smoothgallery_useExternalCarousel=`true` in MaxiGallery snippet call.

That means that you have to do an element to your page with id attribute set to "carousel" and smoothgallery will place the carousel there. So add <div id="carousel"></div> to your page.

This worked for me after stuffing around for quite a while - it should be added to the initial documentation.
