Pictureview & all images in lightbox

Hi!
Maxigallery is a fantastic extension, so first of all thanks a lot for it!

My issue: Is it possible to have MaxiGallery in pictureview (so 1 image per page) but when I click on the image the lightbox prev/next links make it possible to scroll through all of the images in the open lightbox?

Alternatively: Would it be possible to have the link to [+maxigallery.next_pic_url+] and [+maxigallery.previous_pic_url+] to be displayed in the lightbox additionally?

I’d be grateful for an answer!

Cheers,

Yes, it’s possible, check maxigallery wiki page. There’s an tutorial for it. Also see the "read before posting thread". It contains a lot of useful information.

This is something different than it is explained in the wiki and the FAQ (believe me - I read it all).

I’m using pictureview so 1 picture per page is displayed with the previous/next links.

Please see this screenshot:

So when the visitor clicks the image, it is shown in lightboxv2!

If the user should be able to change pictures in the lightbox I would have to paste anchors with rel="lightbox[maxigallery]" BEFORE and AFTER the image that is currently shown in the page itself (do you understand where I’m heading?) -otherwise the previous/next links would’nt correspond to the order of the gallery itself!

Sorry for my english, please tell me if it is still unclear!

I think lightbox checks the urls and shows prev and next picture in correct order, just try it based on the wiki tutorial. Instead of using the thumbnail view, use picture view.

Hi!
OK, I checked this: The order of the pictures within the lightbox depends on the link position (with rel="lightbox[maxigallery]" in the document flow.
So the whole problem is: To maintain the correct order inside the lightbox I need 2 dynamic MaxiGallery queries:
1. One that queries all pictures from the start of the gallery to the one actually displayed
2. and another one that queries all remaining pictures after the one that is currently displayed on the page (in PictureView).

Have you got any idea how that could be realized?

I’m fine with php, so if you could give me any hints I might work it out (is there a variable with the number of total images and the number of the image currently displayed?)

I could contribute a tutorial to the wiki should I succeed!

I guess you could use the &limit and &offset parameters in the maxigallery call..

Eg. do a custom pictureTpl and put two maxigallery calls in it.. the first one to get all links before the current picture:

[!MaxiGallery? &limit=`[+maxigallery.counter+]`!] ..and add other parameters from your maxigallery call

Then another one to get the picture urls after the current picture:

[!MaxiGallery? &offset=`[+maxigallery.counter+]`!]

Then do custom galleryOuterTpl and galleryPictureTpl templates to the above calls so that they only output the links to the images as lightbox wants it.

I have a similar problem. Did anyone ever get this to work?

What would the tpls look like?
