HOW TO - Start page with image folders [RESOLVED]

04 Jun 2014, 16:31

Hello everyone,

I would like to make a start page similar to the website http://www.abertrande.com/#/start/ but i can't find the way to do it.

Can you explain me step by step how to make a four images thumbnail to my start page redirecting to four different folders ?

Thank you very much for your explanation on this

Best

This can be achieved by a manual process:

2. Go to admin -> settings -> thumbnails.thumbnail.click, instead of "open", choose "link"

3. Navigate to your start folder, and upload 4 images that each represent the galleries you want to link to.

4. Click the images, and you will see a new field in your admin called "link". Add the relative link to each of your galleries for each image ... for example #/gallery/.

Last question:

How can i let appear the folder where the image is linked to when passing the mouse on it as http://www.abertrande.com/ made ?
Is it a description to the image?

I tried to make title appear in Settings >> Thumbnails >> Text >> Tittle selected but it only show the tittle of the page "Starts" not the folders where my four images redirect to...

Thanks for your help

Well, you need top go to admin, click [settings] ... Then click the "settings" tab, scroll down and click "attributes", and see the image item with checkboxes. Here is a snapshot even:

Thank. I've done all that but I really can't figure out how to configure the start page. Here is how it's configured now but if I choose custom doesn't work, and if I choose slideshow it show me just one picture at a time.

Also, if it's possible. I'd like that the thumbs in the start page are bigger that the ones in the galleries...

You need to set it as a "normal" gallery mode ... Since you are using the custom settings, the links should trigger ...

If you want bigger thumbnails, you need to click "create thumbs" in top right corner:

Thanks, this worked. The only problem is that

1 - If I hover on the thumbnail the title of the image (which I've set) doesn't appear over the thumb
2 - I'm not able to display the description of this folder (which is set)

Thanks!
