Phoca Forum

Is it possible to have the overlib effect display a different size image than the large thumbnail?
What I had in mind is this: The gallery page displays the small thumbnails, when you rollover the images a slightly larger image is shown, perhaps double the small thumbnail size and then when you click on it to display the pop-up, you see the largest image.
What is happening is that when the rollover displays the large images they are too large and go off the side or below the browser window.
I know there is no option in the gallery parameters to select sizes to display. I really love the rollover image effect, but need to show the pop-up image larger than I can have the rollover image.

Thanks so much for your help. This forum and your attention to helping everyone is amazing.

Hi, there are 3 thumbnails in Phoca Gallery
- small
- medium
- large ... you can set the size of all thumbnail size types in parameters...

Medium images are displayed in boxes in Category View, and overlib displays large thumbnails ... you can change it in php code to small or medium. But I think it is not what you want. Because the small image will be to small and medium image will have the same size and standard listed thumbnail in Category View... So in fact you cannot get another size as only these 3 thumbnail sizes... you can change width and height atributes of image in php code, so e.g. large image will be displayed but instead of full large image will be displayed e.g. only 70% of the sizes... but this need to be hard coded, because it depends on size of your large thumbnail images

This code will change the following:
The category/gallery view will show small images
The overlib will show the medium image
The detail view will show large image

Setting the medium image for overlib:
components\com_phocagallery\views\category\tmpl\default.php
line:202(186)
Modify FROM:
str_replace ('phoca_thumb_m_','phoca_thumb_l_',$value->linkthumbnailpath)
TO:
$value->linkthumbnailpath

line:207(192)
Modify FROM:
str_replace ('phoca_thumb_m_','phoca_thumb_l_',$value->linkthumbnailpath)
TO:
$value->linkthumbnailpath

Setting the small images for category view
line: 215(199), 217(201):
Modify FROM:
$value->linkthumbnailpath
TO:
str_replace('phoca_thumb_m_','phoca_thumb_s_', $value->linkthumbnailpath);

If you are having problems with the images not appearing in the box after you make the other edit try this. It should work perfectly!

the code is located here:
components\com_phocagallery\views\category\tmpl\default.php For my settings I have the small image at 50px and to get them positioned right I used:

Hello

Thanks for this post and for the gallery. It is very flexible indeed!

I wanted to change the size of the overlib image and followed your instructions. However, the size of my thumbnails are not small, they are the same size as the overlib-image = medium. The category-thumbnails are small though. My question is, how can I change the thumbnail size to small other than medium?

Many thanks in advance

hello hello, I just wondered if I would still be able to get an answer to my question, no matter what I do, the thumbnails won't show up as small thumbnails, only medium
