Already existing thumbnails

Post by A. Wayne Webb »

Just how do I go about setting this up using Phoca Gallery?

I have a series of articles which are pages of old newspapers. The images are too small for some people to view so I want to use something like Modal to enlarge the image for that individual.

Since I already have the section, category and articles defined all I want to do is enact a zoom feature. How do I go about doing this with Phoca Gallery? Just this one category will consist of slightly over 800 images.

You can view a small sample of the articles / newspaper images here.

Thank you in advance.

Morning Jan,
Thank you for your response and I must be missing something. :oops: :x Following is the code within my article with the first section already existing:

Code: Select all

<p align="center"><img src="http://brethrenarchives.com/newspapers/pc/1876/png/005.png" border="0" alt="Page 5" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
After installing PhocaGallery my code looks like this:

Code: Select all

<p align="center"><img src="http://brethrenarchives.com/newspapers/pc/1876/png/005.png" border="0" alt="Page 5" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
<p>{phocagallery view=http://brethrenarchives.com/newspaper/pc/1876/png1/005.png|switchheight=1345|switchwidth=973|basicimageid=671}</p>
The page can be viewed here. I would much, much prefer not to have to plug in the height and width attributes. The reason is that I have thousands upon thousands of images I need to apply my hoped for zoom feature to. Is it mandatory that I enter the height and width pixel values?

The files in the PNG directory can be considered to be the thumbnails with those in the PNG1 directory being the larger, zoomed in files.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, there is no such parameter: "view=url to image" in phoca gallery plugin, see the right syntax of the plugin.
