Photo Gallery Forums

Hi,

I would like to have a thumbnail and description for each of my menu items, that is not based on the folder description or a thumbnail (in this case client logos) from within the gallery.

I have tried using the custom links and placing an image inside the description / hiding the target folder and linking to the target folder.

This has been only slightly successful.
I can't get the image to display to the right of the image (have used .css hacks etc) I can get the logo to position above the description, but the image will only display the width as long as the description is long enough.

Is there any way to set minwidth - in the themes it seems you can only set max width.

Thanks!

Sorry, im having problems understanding what you are trying to do.

You want a thumbnail for your menu items? You thinking of creating them manually then, and set the to LINK to the url of the page they are supposed to go to?

or you want an image in the tooltip? or an image in the description of an image? Please can you rephrase?

Sound to me whatever it is, it is some problem with displaying images within textfields added by html tags. Unfortunately, flash textfields are not very effective at displaying images in textfields - They often make a mess of it if you want various certain alignment. Simply speaking, flash textfields are not browsers. There are some workarounds, like use the <textformat leading="(image height here"><img ...></textformat> to help aligning images ABOVE text.

Sure,

Here is an example: http://www.danielmcpeake.com/example.gif

This kind of layout - image left, copy right.

with the image and description NOT taken from that galleries description.

possible?

Well, that tooltip displays folder/gallery description. I mean, thats what gallery descriptions are for, in addition to optionally displaying above thumbnails.

Why can ´t you use the gallery description there? Sorry to say, there is no other way to get any other text in there ...

As for the "logo" image, thats another issue, but not worth dwelling on unless you can come to terms with the above. It may be possible, by disabling the default thumbnail, and adding the logo as html <img src="" />.

You could of course have the entire text and image as a single graphic piece, as to avoid using the folder thumbnails AND text. A little clumsy but ...

Appreciate the input thanks, i will give your single image suggestion a shot.
