Answered Need advice for selecting picture by clicking on thumbnail in document

Hi,

I'm looking for a solution to select a picture in a document by clicking on its thumbnail.

Typically, the pictures would be uploaded in themes (for instance "New York", "Chicago", "Atlanta") being site-wide.
I'm planning to use Easy2Gallery for this (or alternatively MaxiGallery with one unpublished document for each theme).

For each document should be one image TV per theme.
For such TV, all thumbnails from the theme should be displayed so that the manager user can select one (and associate it to the document) by clicking it.

Is there something allowing this?

I see that there is a backend manager for MaxiGallery:

Easy2Gallery also does have a plugin, but I don't know what it does.

Thanks for your advices.

how big are the galleries?

you can use a image multiTv and call the first image with a placeholder [+image.1+]

There are currently 5 galleries, with about 10 to 20 pictures each.

I would like to put the thumbnails in a horizontal div of fixed width with CSS hidden overflow. If the number of thumbnails exceeds what the width of the div can show, I plan to use a slider, so that the editor can see more pictures.

Thank you for mentioning multiTv.
As much as possible, I would like the end-user to not have any "code" to write.

I believe that Easy2Gallery is the way to go, as it is not attached to a ressource like MaxiGallery and -from what I read- EvoGallery.

Easy2Gallery has a plugin, but I ignore if it would allow thumbnail selection and returning the picked image to a TV.
