Multimedia gallery

Permalink
Hi there,

Sorry if something like this has been answered before. I looked and couldn't find anything similar.

I'm looking to make a gallery that incorporates both images and video (a Vimeo embed). Thumbnails wouldn't be necessary for the video. I was going to start picking apart one of the free galleries (Galleria) and modifying it to suit, but I'm a novice with php and wouldn't really know where to start.

Can anyone give suggestions on the best way to do this, or if it's possible at all?

Thanks

sure it's possible but I'm having a hard time to give you the information you're looking for. Create some divs, add an optional thumbnail because it's usually a bit tricky to create a thumbnail from a video, use some jquery to display the pic/video a bit bigger etc. etc.

If I'd want to explain this a bit more detailled, I'd have to write several pages.

If you can be a bit more specific with your issues I can sure help you with some answers.

Hi Remo,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm going to start trying to do this this week. I'm sure I'm going to run into problems so will get back to you with specifics.

Thanks for your help,

Andrew.

Hi Remo,

I've run into a problem when trying to open a new dialog box to add the video details. I keep receiving an Access Denied message.

I've seen your suggestion in another thread to use the dispatcher but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.

I'm using the method detailed on this page:http://mnkras.com/index.php?cID=111

If you can let me know what I'm doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hi Mnkras,

That's not quite what I'm looking for as I just want to use Vimeo videos (also I've come this far and want to finish it!)

Is there another way to open the dialog window from Block edit that uses ccm? Is this why I'm getting the Access Denied message?

Hi guys,

Any suggestions for launching this dialog? Sorry to push, but I'd love to get this sorted.

I know there must be a way to do it, or that I'm doing it wrong. I can't find any references to it in the documentation. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew.
