Displaying full size images via Gallery

    Hi,

    I've tried everything, and searched here and google, and am about to cry sad

    I wonder if anyone could tell me how to display full size images via the gallery plugin? I basically want to display all images in an album and show them full size, horizontally with a slider (the horizontal slider is working).

    I'm currently using:

    [[Gallery? &thumbTpl=`fullSize` &album=`Inland` &imageQuality=`100%` ]]


    I've tried adding the height and width by adding &imageHeight=`683` &imageWidth=`683` to the above. The only problem is that they are all different sizes and I want the images to be 100% of the height of the screen with the width being dependant on the image (which works with css on it's own).

    this is my chunk:

    <div class="section" id="section[[+id]]">
    <div class="info">
        <h2>Section 1</h2>
        <p>[[+description]]</p>
    </div>
    <div class="photo">
        <img class="lazy" src="/assets/images/transparent.gif" data-original="[[+image]]" alt="" />
    </div>
    <div class="arrow"> </div>
</div>


    The images are displaying fine, it's just the quality of them is poor (even though the actual images I uploaded into the gallery are all fine.

    I have a feeling I shouldn't be using thumbTpl but I can't seem to find an alternative?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Neil.

        Is it impossible to display all full size photos in one album using gallery then? I can't believe I'm going have to start the whole website from scratch if not sad

          It can't be impossible. There's a way. I'm sorry but I don't deal with Gallery enough to help you. Hopefully some of the few not flying to Europe right now will pop in and give assistance.

          FWIW, you can use any gallery script you like, not just MODX Extras. You may find some helpful information here:

          This details a the WooThemes slider, but you could apply any gallery/slider script in the same way. At that point, displaying full size images would depend on the script, not the Gallery snippet call.

            Could you possibly provide a link to how it looks now?

            Also, is it necessary for all the images to appear at once at full size? I'm just thinking that could be quite a slow page if there are a lot of images. What about trying a "lightbox" setup like this:
