This may be possible with some javascript solution, but is not the norm in HTML and rather one of main differences between flash and Html. In flash, you can't really have the scrollbar (except in some pseudo fashion), while in Html you are actually forced to use it (if the page content extends beyond the users browser area). You can not easily fix this.

You mean display the folder preview image? I am sure this would be possible, although I am not sure at what level you have currently taken the customization into your own hands. Looks good though!

Maybe Nick can contribute to the question above ...

Sure looks good!
I'm tempted to make modifications to my html-site myself...
... but then again, what can we expect in this area from version 2.8 when html is going to be redesigned?

:?: Karl, can you give any insights on this?

B.t.w.... I saw that Yb.Ybema used 'Shadowbox' for his modifications

Hi Yb,

I couldn't resist the temptation to delve into Shadowbox...
Could you give me a hint at which templates you had to modify to get the results you had?
As far as I can see... one has to adjust 'layout.phtml' and 'index.html.phtml'... are these the only two?

Would it be possible to send me your adapted versions of these two (or more) files?
So I can figure it out myself...

I'll let you now... can take a few days, though...

I'm afraid there is no solution to this. At least I do not now one.
Searching in the forums I found this (a bit older) link in which is stated that the html version has not the full functionality of the flash gallery.
https://forum.photo.gallery/viewtopic.p ... tml#p23802

I really like to now what the redesign of the html-site (which is supposed to be a part of the future version 2.8 ) will mean to us...
:?: Karl, can you give any insights :?:

The current Imagevue Html version was simply created as a fallback option with no scalability in mind. The new Html version in X2.8 will be based on a new framework, and it should be easier to modify- and create your own templates. So what can be expected?

#1 - A brand new default Html version designed from ground up.
#2 - Most likely a few templates
#3 - A new framework allowing easir building and modification of your own templates through CSS- and template files.

Karl, this sounds good!
It is great how Imagevue is constantly developing.

Just some features I hope for:
- multi-lingual
- working links (for images and folders)
- multiple backgrounds
- folder preview images...
:D

We will add folder thumbnails, but maybe you will have to wait for the next release. To have nice looking thumbnails we got to keep in consideration different thumbnails sizes in different subfolders and this will require some changes in code.

Ah... this does mean that even in the version 2.7, which will be release in beta somewhere this week, there are some changes in the html-site? Like thumbnails for folders?

yb.ybema wrote:Indeed you only have to adjust two files:
* Add the shadowbox script in the "layout.phtml" using this link: http://www.shadowbox-js.com/usage.html
* Change rel="colorbox" to rel="shadowbox[YP] in the "index.phtml" on line 64 (Thumbnail div)
In this example I added [YP] to give all the thumbnails the same gallery name so all images will be displayed when you start in slideshow mode. Leaving the "[YP]" out will only show single images.
Let me know if it worked for you.
At last I had it worked out, but I had to adjust something more.
I had to change the beginning of line 64 in 'index.html.phtml' (besides changing colorbox in shadowbox) as follows:
Code 
OLD:
<a rel="shadowbox[MBR]" href="<?php echo ($this->useLightview ? $item->getPrimary() : '?' . urlencode($item->getPrimary())) ?>"
NEW:
<a rel="shadowbox[MBR]" href="<?php echo str_replace("'", "\'", $item->getPrimary()); ?>"
The code that was created was as follows:
Code 
OLD:
<a rel="shadowbox[MBR]" href="?content%2Freizen%2Fladakh.jpg"
NEW:
<a rel="shadowbox[MBR]" href="content/reizen/ladakh.jpg"
It seems that Shadowbox does not work with characters like '%2F' for '/'.
It is strange that the code that is being generated for your html-site does not have this percent-encoding.

Well, it is strange... this line of code won't work with me. Perhaps that the software of my serviceprovider is generating different code than yours. In your code there is the '/', in my code there is '%2F'.
I don't have too much knowledge (none at all actually :) ) of these matters.
But it works with my modifications and that's all that matters...

Thanks anyway for your help!

Just in case if someone is looking at my html-site for the effects of using Shadowbox: it can not be seen yet.
I've incorporated Shadowbox in my test-site which I will make active with the new release of Imagevue (2.7).
