I have Photo gallery installed and working but have a few queries!

The following are all based on the same set of images in one folder being displayed through an article plug-in.

1. With the layout type defined as a "single image", that image (first in the folder) is not displayed in the slide show. Neither is its description shown with the single image.

2. With the layout type defined as "simple gallery", all the images are shown and all play in the slide show. My problem is that the "simple gallery" looks simple! Is there any way of centering each image and its description in its associated cell? I've attached a snapshot of the simple galler.

3. Is there any way of making the description standout more clearly when the slide show is playing?

4. Some of the images in the slide show are being cropped down the right hand side. Is it necessary (or recommended) to resize all images to the same width?

Many thanks.

Hello,

1. Download and upgrade the module (and "ARI Photo Gallery Anywhere" plugin if you use it). New version of the extension includes "Include first image" parameter.

2. Add the next CSS rules to a site template CSS file:



3. Could you explain what do you mean? Could you send a screenshot where we can see what do you mean and a link to a page with the extension?

4. Check "Min width" and "Min height" parameters in module (plugin) settings. You can set they to 0 if want to fit the lightbox to image size.

Many thanks for your help. I've done as suggested. Results are:

1. In "single image" mode, the first image is now displayed in the slide show, but its title still doesn't appear in the single icon cell.

2. All the text is now aligned centrally and looks much better, but the actual thumb nails are still left aligned.

3. I've attached a snapshot of a slide show image. Basically I don't like white lettering on a grey back ground doesn't "stand out". Is there a way to have black lettering on a white background?

4. Slide show images are still being cropped on the right hand side even when I reduce all images to a max width of 960 pixels. Its difficult to be certain but slide show images don't appear to change after manualy adjustment of their original widths. I've carried out "Site Maintenance, Clear Cache" and "Purge Expired Cache".

Its currently difficult to demonstrate to you, as (until I'm happy with the results) I'm testing under XAMPP.

But - many thanks.

1. Populate "Single image -> Template" parameter with the next value:



2. It can be a problem with site template styles. We can investigate an issue if you provide a link to a page where we can see an image gallery.

3. Add the next CSS rule to a site template CSS file:

Thanks again. Very prompt replies.

Unfortunately, I worked off the email I received which was slightly different to what's in your reply above. Will retest under XAMPP.

However, its still cropping the right-hand side of the images.

The background change and bold title appeared in the gallery cells and not on the slideshow which is what I wanted.

I've installed your extensions on the live web site so take a look at the front page of www.heswallphotosoc.co.uk (you'll have to scroll down to see my test section).

The slide show (above the test section) is what I would ideally like to achieve (its JoomlaShine Flash) but using JQuery. If you think one of your other products would give me what I want then please let me know and I'll give it a go. Basically I'm getting complaints from club members with iPads!

Very many thanks again.

1. The next CSS rules are centered titles and images fine:



We have checked it in FireFox browser.

2. The next CSS rule:



Change background and text color in the lightbox:



3. About cropping problem, could you provide a screenshot where we can see it?
