Thumbnails in Galleria add on

Permalink
Hi all,

I need to have different thumbnails than the ones that are automatically generated on the Galleria addon. My client has an existing site and the use a zoomed in version of the image for the thumb. You can see the existing site herehttp://www.simonpure.co.uk/collections/cradle.html...

I want to be able to add a separate thumbnail image to the gallery.

Any ideas? I am not a skilled PHP dev :(

Cheers

I believe the standard functionality in Galleria is to output your thumbnails in a list like so: 
<li>
  <img src="myImage1.jpg" />
</li>
<li>
  <img src="myImage2.jpg" />
</li>
<li>
  <img src="myImage3.jpg" />
</li>
etc...


Each image is then scaled for the thumbnail view. However, if you change this to: 
<li>
  <a href="myImage1.jpg"><img src="myThumb1.jpg" /></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="myImage2.jpg"><img src="myThumb2.jpg" /></a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="myImage2.jpg"><img src="myThumb2.jpg" /></a>
</li>
etc...


then it should use the image src for your thumbnail and the a href for the main image.

This can be done in the view.php or the template you are using in the block. Have a go at updating the code, but if you get really stuck then shout back...

Jon,

My main problem is that I need to be able to add the thumbnails to the gallery when I add the main images in.

So I need an additional file upload/chooser to do this. I then need to output the thumbs in the view.php file.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Ahh, sorry, I see what you mean.

This will require quite a big update to the package. Might be worth sending a message to Andy Millerhttp://www.concrete5.org/profile/-/5619/... who created the block and see if he would be interested in adding this on for you.

I have sent him a PM on here and also emailed him via his site with no reply :(

I will try again.

Might post on the jobs board as well.

Cheers for the help.

Hi,

We have done this for one of our clients, we create a thumbnail when the images are added to the page.

We created an album add-on that allows the user to add albums and album covers via the dashboard.

I am happy to share this code with you, it will probably not work exactly how you want it to but I dont think it would be much work to add the code to the Galleria Add-on.

I will post the Add-on here for you to check out and it it is not what you need I will speak to my developer about adding the code to the asmiller_gallery package.

I will try to get this done today.

That would be great. I am starting to get some pressure from the client so do need to give him some reassurance.

Cheers
