Hi all!

I’m doing a list of galleries and want to put latest added childgalleries in a jQuery slider.

The thing is that I must use special html markup so the slider can work.... like this:

<div class="scrollContainer">
  <div class="panel" id="panel_1">
[!MaxiGallery? &offset=`1` &childgalleries_limit=`1` &childgalleries_ids=`1044,1042` &display=`childgalleries` &childgalleries_order_by=`pub_date` &childgalleries_order_direction=`DESC` &order_by=`pos` &childgalleryTpl=`thumbs_gal_summer` &lang=`hr`!]
  </div>

  <div class="panel" id="panel_2">
[!MaxiGallery? &offset=`1` &childgalleries_limit=`1` &childgalleries_ids=`1044,1042` &display=`childgalleries` &childgalleries_order_by=`pub_date` &childgalleries_order_direction=`DESC` &order_by=`pos` &childgalleryTpl=`thumbs_gal_summer` &lang=`hr`!]
  </div>

  <div class="panel" id="panel_3">
[!MaxiGallery? &offset=`2` &childgalleries_limit=`1` &childgalleries_ids=`1044,1042` &display=`childgalleries` &childgalleries_order_by=`pub_date` &childgalleries_order_direction=`DESC` &order_by=`pos` &childgalleryTpl=`thumbs_gal_summer` &lang=`hr`!]
  </div>

</div>



...and so on till 5 or more panels.......

As you can I tried it offseting it with &offset=`1` but with no luck.... what am I doing wrong?

Any help? Doze?

P.S. live example can be found on:

Unfortunately there is no offset parameter for childgalleries query.

The &offset paramter tells maxigallery which offset to use when selecting a picture for the childgallery to show.. it doesn’t have any effect when it chooses the childgallery documents itself.

I’ll do a note about this to myself and add that parameter at somepoint.

Thanks for the reply...

So... is there a way to display the galleries the way I want?

You’d have to fetch the documents with ditto or wayfinder and then in their templates, use maxigallery to get the pictures.

Ummm... I must admit I never used MaxiGallery in combination with Ditto.. (or at least I don’t remember doing it)

Can you please explain this a lil’ bit more... maybe some example? wink

Ok, I made a Ditto call like this:

[!Ditto?&parents=`1042,1044,1049` &start=`1` &orderBy=`pub_date ASC` &dateSource=`pub_date` &extenders=`dateFilter` &dateFormat=`%d.%m.%Y` &paginate=`0` &display=`all` &total=`all`  &tpl=`adriaTPL` !]

..where my adriaTPL is

[[MaxiGallery? &childgalleries_limit=`1` &childgalleries_ids=`1042,1044,1049` &display=`childgalleries` &childgalleries_order_by=`pub_date` &childgalleries_order_direction=`DESC` &order_by=`pos` &childgalleryTpl=`thumbs_gal_summer` &lang=`hr`]]
[+summary+]

...and my thumbs_gal_summer is

<div class="inside">
	<a href="[+maxigallery.childurl+]">
         <img src="[*myimage:phpthumb=`h=170&w=200&zc=1#[+maxigallery.path_to_gal+][+maxigallery.picture.filename+]#1`*]" class="thumbnail" title="[+maxigallery.strings.go_to_gallery+]" alt="[+maxigallery.strings.go_to_gallery+]" /> </a>
    <h2>[+maxigallery.pageinfo.pagetitle:htmlent:if=`[+maxigallery.pageinfo.pagetitle:htmlent:len+]`:gt=`34`:then=`[+maxigallery.pageinfo.pagetitle:htmlent:character_limit=`34`+] `:else=`[+maxigallery.pageinfo.pagetitle:htmlent+]`+]</h2>
    <p>[+maxigallery.pageinfo.tv.klubovi+]</p>
</div>

But with no luck... It still displays all the same galleries :/
