Basic syntax for activeType="imglist" 13 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 0

I'm new to Fancybox, and am having some problems. Can you provide a more in-depth code sample for creating an image gallery with the "Fancybox anywhere" plugin? I do NOT want to create a module for every single box (not practical), so I'm trying to use the following code as a starting point. I'm getting closer, but I don't know all of the proper syntax to use. For example, how do I set the theme? What about limiting to a certain type of image file, such as jpg?

Code:

{arifancybox activeType="imglist" generateThumbs="true" thumbWidth="200" type="gallery" dir="images/front_page/pics"}{/arifancybox}

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Just a quick follow-up. I'm also confused about the proper syntax for the CSV files.

I'm trying:

Code:

{arifancybox activeType="imglist" generateThumbs="true" thumbWidth="200" type="gallery" descrFile="captions.txt" dir="images/front_page/pics"}{/arifancybox}

... with no luck. titles are not showing up.

Hello,

Use "theme" attribute of {arifancybox} tag that define gallery theme. It accepts the following values:

shadow - shadow theme
pin - pin theme
flora - flora theme
clip - clip theme

Use "fileFilter" attribute of {arifancybox} tag that filter image files. It accepts regular expression which is used for image name. If you want to use "shadow" theme and show only JPEG images, code will look like:

Code:



{arifancybox activeType="imglist" generateThumbs="true" thumbWidth="200" type="gallery" descrFile="captions.txt" dir="images/front_page/pics" theme="shadow" fileFilter="(jpg|JPG)$}{/arifancybox}

Regarding problem with CSV file, could you provide your captions.txt file that we can investigate this problem? Probably this file has incorrect format.

Thanks for your quick reply, this helps! Regarding the file filter, I assume your example is missing a period?

fileFilter=".(jpg|JPG)$"

Do you have documentation that lists all of the potential attributes of {arifancybox}? It would save users from asking. Maybe it exists, but I simply haven't found it yet?

captions.txt is attached. Here is the exact

File Attachment:
File Name: captions.txt
File Size: 154

code I am currently using:

Code:

{arifancybox activeType="imglist" generateThumbs="true" theme="shadow" thumbWidth="200" type="gallery" fileFilter=".(jpg|JPG)$" descrFile="captions.txt" dir="images/front_page/pics"}{/arifancybox}

You are welcome. Available attributes can be found in "Description" field on "System - ARI Fancybox Anywhere" settings page, just download and upgrade "System - ARI Fancybox Anywhere" plugin. About CSV file, use file with the following content:

Code:



File,Title

1_sco.jpg,test title

2_historic_airphotos_325px.jpg,another test title

3_sco.jpg,here is one more test title

4_wlia_conference.jpg,and the last title

Regarding file filter, could you explain what problem you have with example which we provided?

Regarding the filter, you just had a typo in the example code you provided. A period was missing, as was a closing quote... no big deal. Just wanted to point this out so future newbies like me aren't confused:

fileFilter="(jpg|JPG)$

On the documentation: yes, I've seen all the details in the "Description field", but it doesn't seem to include all the possible attributes. For example, the "theme" attribute you just told me about is NOT listed. Niether is "fileFilter." I just downloaded the zip file yesterday, so I assume I am working from a current version.

I'll fix the syntax of my captions file. I'm sure it will work. Thanks!
