Phoca Forum

Hello,

I am using Phoca Gallery for the website of an artist (painter) to display his paintings. What I would like to do now is to modify the detail view (boxplus) in a way that the description of the pictures (name, some information, the year when it was painted etc.) is on the left side if the picture.

My problem: Nevertheless which setting in the options menu I choose, the description in the detail view is always below the picture and is being overlayed by the navigation buttons (slideshow / next picture etc.). This to me looks like an error and it is a little bit annoying as the description cannot be read properly.

Therefore I would like to ask two things:
- Is there a way to modify the detail view (boxplus) so that the description is being displayed left to the image? If yes, what do I need to modify here?
- If not, how can I properly display the description below the image and prevent the navigation buttons from overlaying?

Thanks for any feedback.

Best regards,
Ben

PG 3.2 (boxplus+Multibox)

in file \com_phocagallery\views\detail\tmpl\default_multibox.php cuts lines 64-141 (started with // - - - - -// RIGHT// - - - - -) and insert before line 37 (echo '<td valign="middle" align="center" class="pg-multibox-lefttd" style="background-color: '.$this->tmpl['multibox_left_bgcolor'].'">'. "\n";)

Hi Crucian,

thanks for pointing me to PG 3.2, I wasn't aware of that release yet. I just upgraded from 3.1.5 where the Multibox wasn't available, and this looks exactly like what I'm looking for. I'll play around with that some more time and will also try out your suggestion for moving the description to the left (but it might also be as good on the right).

Best regards,
Ben
