Custom picture URL

[jxrossel]

Hi,

I would like to use the gallery plugin to display a picture in the "shadow box" (detailed view), but I want to use a custom URL to open it.

I know that you can set the plugin parameters to display only 1 picture without thumbnail. But in that case, the picture name is used as the URL to the detailed view. Can I customize this?

Thanks

Hi, sorry I don't understand this:

Ok,

Sorry not to be clear enough... and sorry again, I was wrong! Actually, I misread the demo page for the plugin. Let's try a simpler way. Here is what I would like to do:

I'd like to have a URL link within an article that, when clicked, opens a picture of my gallery within a "Modal Popup Box" (the standard detailed view with the black overlay). I'd like to have no thumbnail within the article and I'd like to be able to give any expression as front-end of the link.

More explicitely: I'd like to write an article containing the name of a guy and I'd like to use his name as a hyperlink to his picture. Of course, I would like to take advantage of the clean detailed view offered by Phoca. Is it possible with the plugin?

Thanks

If you create a plugin with some image and copy the link, you can set this copied link as only text link too. But the detail image must exist in Phoca Gallery...

EDIT: Don't forget to copy the link with all attributes: ONCLICK, REL, ... Without these parameters it will not work

Hi,

Thanks a lot!

So, actually, I don't need the plugin. I can just open my photo gallery, get the HTML code lying behind it, copy the links (and attributes) corresponding to the detailed view of the pictures, customize it and paste it in an article. It works and that's great!

Having said this, it could be an interesting development of the plugin to have this behaviour (i.e. single picture - no picture thumbnail - custom url text) as an option.

Thanks again,

Jonathan

-EDIT-

Woops... Not completely true. I did my previous tests with the plugin activated somewhere else in my article. If the plugin is not launched somewhere, the corresponding script is not included in the page and the simple link copying does not work...

Any idea?

-Re-EDIT-

Ok, I found a solution. Not very elegant, but it is sufficient to call the plugin somewhere in the article with an inexistant picture or category (e.g. with ID = 0). Like this, it does not return any elements but the script is included.
