can I can I can I ...

Insert a thumb into a text page that might enlarge to full size when clicked and be closed again ...but remain on that text page and not load the gallery as it does here... https://www.photo.gallery/demo/x2/?theme=gar ... ges/links/

I did see that I could use an image title as a text link but it still diverts away from the page and loads the whole gallery that the image resides in.

can I can I can I ...

Basically, you want to just open an image and have it floating over the textpage with some kinda close button? That would be possible, and best way would probably be to open the image link in html colorbox, similar as we do for map-links.

However, if you are asking for a method to insert "Image ThumbS" (as in plural), then this is just a bad idea. We have toyed with features like this before, generating layouts of thumbnails in a textpage. However, the simple fact is that flash textfields are too weak to handle any kinda thumbnail layout.

But yes, adding a single image-thumbnail manually, and have it link to a larger image without leaving the textpage, definitely.

You mean something like this -> textpage ?

If so, download attachment, set it as one of your theme backgrounds with settings:
Align: 'TL'
Repeat: 'No Repeat'
Scalemode: 'No Scale'

And then in your textpage you can use link asfunction:_root.image_overlay,image.jpg to display image overlay.
Example:

<a href="asfunction:_root.image_overlay,content/pictures2/PIC_5247.jpg"><img src="content/pictures2/tn_PIC_5247.jpg" height="105" width="140" /></a>

Nice Artur,

I will remember this one

Cheers Martin

BTW... that was 2 minutes of work, so it's just very basic option to show image overlay. However this can be much improved somewhat - Title and description above the image, link to the image in the gallery, etc...

Great stuff there Artur!

I wanted to mention that with Imagevue X2.8, there is another method available. Perhaps not as cool as Arturs method, but easy to implement, and it would also work on html and mobile platforms:

<a href="javascript:lightbox('path/image.jpg')">click</a>

Opens the image in an overlaying html lightbox. You can see this in effect by clicking the "Photo" link on the new textpage demo page here:
