Single slimbox-image in article without "category box"

Post by Sovereign »

Hi there,

it seems so very simple, but after endlessly browsing the documentation, I haven't found a suitable answer.
All I want to do, is to display a simple slimbox-image with a - let's say - medium-sized thumbnail and nothing else.
I used the phoca gallery plugin to create a code like this:
{phocagallery view=category|categoryid=1|imageid=1}

But how do I get rid of this category-box around the thumbnail (you know, the one with the border and the hover-effect)? I only want the thumbnail of predefined size, maybe with some shadow effect, but without any other space-eating box stuff around. This can be done with SIGE in a matter of seconds, but I don't want to use several different gallery components and actually kinda like the many options of phoca gallery.

So am I just too blind to find the corresponding setting or is it really this hard to simply display a single slimbox-image?

Hi, you can set it parameters:

Thanks for your reply.
Could you please mention, which parameter I have to change in order to get the pure formatting?
Because I really can't find it in that parameter list.

Thanks again, sov

there are different parameters: you can set transparent value for bgcolor parameter, transparent value for borders, etc.

So I can only make the box transparent, but I can't get rid of it and the (I'm guessing) 20-30px free space around the actual thumbnail (which is that damn box^^)? Or can I set the box size equal to the thumbnail size somewhere?

thx, sov

Hi, if there are no parameters for what you search, this then needs to be stylized in the plugin css:

plugins/content/phocagallery/ ... css

Hi,

I tried what I could with my limited CSS-knowledge, but I've had no success, because the box size is appearantly dynamically set according to the thumbnail size and controlled by the PhocaGalleryImage::setBoxSize() - function, which I can't find. :(
There is another possible entry-point, an "element.style"-tag, but this does not belong to a fixed *.css either, but is also dynamically created based on functions I can't find. :roll:

thx, sov
