Phoca Forum

Hello! Great component.

Where can you edit the piclens slideshow? I would like to remove the "View this in 3d" as I think this would really confuse my site visitors. Also, where do I change colors for piclens? I would like to change it to match my site.

Thanks!

Hi, PicLens slidedeshow is an external slideshow, so this cannot be changed in Phoca Gallery... see:

www.cooliris.com

Thank you. I sent them an inquiry. Can you please tell me if the slideshow files are mixed in with the phoca component or are they placed elsewhere? I just can't wrap my brain around how this works

Thanks,
Jill

This is the reply I received from Cool Iris:

We actually did not make the plugin so we cannot support it. I would be willing to help you with any other question you may have about Cooliris though!

Can you point me in the right direction?

The RSS files of Piclens are saved in phocagallery folder...

I still don't know if Piclens supports description in the slideshow ?

If yes, this should be added into a RSS file...

Did you ask them if PicLens slideshow supports description ?

I can ask them, but my question to them was how to change the colors of the slideshow. How does phoca gallery call the slideshow? Is the slideshow on a server somewhere and just launches when you click on it or does a copy of the slideshow get installed with phoca?

PicLens is called by the special code in html...

there is a special code by every image on the site, this code get information from rss file (in rss file there is a link to image, title, ...) so Piclens Slideshow takes own javascript library, takes information from the RSS file and use this information for displaying the images in PicLens area...

in the RSS there is e.g. link and e.g. title of the image, but there is no description (I haven't seen some description of images (e.g. in google or yahoo) using PicLens slideshow, so I asked you if the description can be displayed in PicLens, if this is possible)

Thanks, but I am still unclear. Are there files within the joomla installation or does it call on a server that piclens controls that handles the slideshow? If the javascript files are in joomla, can you point me towards them.

PicLens slideshow is an external application running in your browser, this application needs xml file from the site where the images are displayed, the xml looks like:

<item>
<title>P1210758</title>
<link>/phocagallery/demo/images/phocagallery/nature/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_P1210758.JPG</link>
<media:thumbnail url="/phocagallery/demo/images/phocagallery/nature/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_P1210758.JPG" />
<media:content url="/phocagallery/demo/images/phocagallery/nature/thumbs/phoca_thumb_l_P1210758.JPG" />
<guid isPermaLink="false">1-phocagallerypiclenscode-nature/P1210758.JPG</guid>
</item>

There is only the <title>P1210758</title> tag as I know but if there are some news e.g. there is some <description> tag, than it can be used for PicLens... but I have never seen on any site the description in PicLens, so I think, there is no such tag
