[SOLVED]Big Image display type question

I am having trouble getting my big images to display how I want.
I have the gallery working fine, the thumb nail links to the picture and that displays OK, but I want the big image to display in slimbox, but it doesn’t - it just creates an external page.

Here is my call

[!MaxiGallery? &display=`normal` &pics_per_row=`4` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`600` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1` &thumb_shadow_bgcolor=`222222` &pic_use_dropshadow=`1` &pic_shadow_bgcolor=`222222` &keep_bigimg=`1` &bigimg_linkstyle=`slidebox`!]

I’m probably missing something obvious!!

Many thanks

I have managed to do some digging around on this problem and have discovered that the picturetpl template is not evaluating the &bigimg_linkstyle at all.

I proved this by creating "galpicturetpl" as a copy of the original, and replacing the inserted <a href> section from the lightbox branch:



The generated source now contains the ’rel=lightbox’ BUT my &bigimg_linktyle is still set to lightboxv2.

If you visit http://www.darrenjehan.me.uk/page/gallery-home.php and look at the source code from one of the Nebula images, you’lll see the ’rel=lightbox’ on the image link, but the Lunar ones do not. They still show ’rel=external’.

Here is the snippet call:



So, why would the picturetpl not evaluate the linkstyle correctly?


Thanks for any suggestions!

Solved!!

The WIKI page states the parameter is &bigimg_linkstyle but the maxigallery pho script has the line



Perhaps the WIKI should be updated.....

Yes, true.. why don’t you update it?

lol! True

Done...
