Photo Gallery Forums

Hi
As usual I have one or two questions for the forum.
I am trying to emulate what I can see on http://www.fluidimages.co.uk/portfolio/

1. See the Gallery heading on this page. How did they get 'Fluid Images' there - the config file only has startheading='PHOTO LIBRARY'.
And how did they change the font of the Gallery Heading.
2. Go in to Portfolio and select any imagefolder. Then click on any thumbnail - starts a slideshow. How is this achieved?
3. On that slideshow, the description appears to the left of the picture. How is this done?
4. slideshowconfig.ini, slideshowimagevueconfig.ini, show.ini - what are all these files? Some of them seem to matter and some seem to be superfluous.

Stapes

1. I suspect on the page mentioned, the user has actually edited the imagevue source file, and placed that light blue background with the bottom heading. However, you should also be able to do such by simply creating your background image to look like that, and make sure it aligns to middle.

2. Since Imagevue 17 was released, the default nature of the gallery is to start a slideshow once a thumbnail is clicked. What version are you using? I see that he has also edited slideshowimagevueconfig.ini and set autostart=true which would make the sldieshow automatically start counting to goto next image.

3. In slideshowimagevueconfig.ini, he has set 4. slideshowconfig.ini is for the independant sldieshow module, while slideshowimagevueconfig.ini is specifically for the slideshow module that is used by the imagevue gallery.

I was looking for the difference between these two, and came across this post... can you be a little clearer about the differences between these two? Thanks!

The slideshow module can be used as a standalone module. Example:
www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slideshow.php
In the case of the standalone slideshow, the configuration file being used it "slideshowconfig.ini"

However, the slideshow is also used inside the Imagevue main gallery for displaying images. Example:
www.photo.gallery/imagevue/
(Click a thumbnail and see it display in the slideshow).
Because this slideshow related to the Imagevue gallery uses different settings, it also uses another configuration file - In this case "slideshowimagevueconfig.ini"

Was that more clear?

Thanks for the reply... yes, that did clear things up, though I admit I got a little distracted by the slideshow example...

Thanks for that, too...
