Ugly image detail - What happened to PG for J3+?

Post by radik10 »

Hi, thanks for PhocaGallery. I have been using it for long time (J1.5 and J 2.5). Now, because of ugly image detail it is not possible use it on responsible webpage or on J3+ webpage.
In Joomla 1.5 times there was nice (and working) image detail. Now, in time of J3.3 is everything different - worse.
Look at attached images - there is comparison of an old and new PhocaGallery detail view. There are used image settings 800x600 px for "large image" and "detail window".
I am talking about PhocaGallery standard installation:
Joomla 3+ is responsive, and this function I am missing in PG image detail view. Also there is missing button (in PG detail view) to enlarge image (in case, that image is bigger than "detail window"). Every image shouold be visible in active area of monitor/browser (let say 90% of visible content space).
In settings there, for detail window should be used % instead of px for defining detail window. And there is no reason to turn ON/OFF navigation bar in detail window. If you have few images (thumbs in article), and if you display them in "detail view", you should have automatically navigation among them. If you have only one image (thumb) in article, there will be displayed only one image in detail view.
What I like on PG is that you can define names, rotate images (backend)... but main purpose of PG - to display images in detail view - is in times of Joomla 3+ pore.
Same problem is with all methods (shadowbox, modalbox...)for displying image detail.
Can you pls. fix these problems? Or am I only one who is interesting about nice and responsive detail view?
Thanks.

Hi,
use Shadowbox (Image only) not Shadowbox.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi, thanks. It works, but there are some bugs in other methods of displaying detail image (only Shadowbox seems to be correct):
- Modal box (image only) is responsive but is missing navigation to next/previous image (click to next/previous images) and is missing name/description of image (probably it is not purpose of this method to navigate among images)
- Highslide (image only) is responsive, but is missing title (caption)/description of image
- Slimbox is not responsive

Can you please fix it? Thanks

some examples:

Hi,
see: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... e-joomla-3
- Highslide (image only) is responsive, but is missing title (caption)/description of image
backend --> Component --> Control Panel --> Options --> Detail View --> Detail View Settings -->
Detail Window=Highslide JS(Image only)
backend --> Component --> Control Panel --> Options --> Detail View --> Detail View Settings --> Description Settings -->
Display Description in Detail View=Show (Standard)
Display Title in Description=Yes
Save & Close

Result see image:

I agree with Modal box (image only) issue & Boxplus issue
But perhaps this are also setting issues... :idea:

Kind regards,
Benno

Thanks. One more think - if you want to show images in module position, you have to install separate module for images. It is OK, but it will be great, really great, if this module will copy settings from PG component (e.g. settings for detail view image) just like another possibility in this module, I mean addition to the settings available now in the module.

Now you have to set all options manually, but if set up all settings ones in PG settings, it will be great just confirm (in module) that you want use settings from component.

This will be great if you have more PG image modules = less work with settings.

Can you add this possibility to PG image module?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,

No, I am not able to do this. The only one how is able, is Jan (the only programmer of all Phoca Extensions)
You can imagine your request here and vote for it.
