I have a slideshow that iterates through some photos in the corner of on my site. These pictures are displayed in a small window and I'm wondering if there's a way for the user to click on any photo and be taken to the actual photo (large size) in the gallery.

Thanks!

and where do you want to open the large image? In a new window? ... or goto the slideshow gallery and display that image?

Please read this post on how to use secondary size images:

Thanks for the quick reply, Karl. I read the article you referred to, but it didn't help me much.

The photos in my gallery are already of normal size. The slideshow displays them in a very small window, so I need *not* create another folder with _large files.

Now, I would like to be able to click on any photo (normal left click, not right) and: The same photo should be opened in a pop-up window

Also, is there a way that when I click on any photo, the same photo should be opened in the gallery like viewing any other photo in the gallery?

I appreciate your help.

Thanks!

joey,

You need to redefine the "imageclick" parameter in the slideshow.ini file that your slideshow is using.

I believe the following parameter is set by default:

imageclick = next
----------------------------------------------------

If you change this to:

imageclick = popup

this should solve your problem.

As Tom said:

imageclick = popup

As for opening the same photo in the gallery, your not gonna be able to do that easily.

Thanks for your replies. I'm seeing two problems:

1. There's small box that follows my mouse pointer - I don't know how to get rid of it.

2. I've set the "imageclick = popup" - but when you click on an image, the slideshow module cannot find the image.

This is based on 26th October build.

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Maybe this will help for your 1st problem: viewtopic.php?t=315

#2

All path should be relative to your globalpath, so you should have:

so.addVariable('configfile','slideshowtest.ini');

Folder path parameters should end with a slash/:

so.addVariable('path','content/Bahai-Fun/International-dinner/');

Thanks. #1 is resolved. However, #2 is still not fixed.

I changed the paths to be relative to globalpath and added a slash at the end of the folder name, but I still don't see the image in a popup window -

In your slideshowtest.ini, would you have:

path = content/groupfolder2/imagefolder2

Can you change that to:

path = content/Bahai-Fun/International-dinner/

(including the end slash/)

Im not insisting this will fix the issue, but I want to weed out all possible irregularities. I find this issue weird, so lets get to the bottom of it ... reply when you have updated...

Thanks, Karl. I updated the slideshowtest.ini and now it reads:

path = content/Bahai-Fun/International-dinner/

As expected, it did not make any difference. Please let me know if anything needs to be changed.

I was riddled by this for some time, and after doing some research on your4 configuration file, it occurred to me that your config file is lacking alot of settings. Are you perhaps using the BETA version of the slideshow or atleast the beta layout of a config file?

Compare the two files and you can see for yourself:
http://bahaisofalbany.org/gallery/slideshowtest.ini
https://www.photo.gallery/imagevue/slideshowconfig.ini

I am especially conserned about some of the settings under the [CONTROLS] section and can guarantee you this is related to the undefined popup. Try to update from www.photo.gallery/downloads/

joey · 15 Nov 2006, 11:22

Thank you. It actually was the [MAIN] section that made the difference. I don't know which part was causing the addition of "undefined" to the path, but I'm glad its fixed now.

Thanks!

btw, I loved the "framewidth" and the "innerframewidth" options

Since the new window is a plain JPG, there is no control of the users right-click options. You would ahve to find some javascript to prevent right-click, but keep in mind it will not stop anyone from getting at the pictures if that was your idea.
