Gallery title

@tripatwhat – The Gallery title will display by default … perhaps you could provide a link to where you are seeing this.

Hello Cais,

here is the link where i added three galleries:
https://www.happycake.com/dev/media/

Is there maybe some option i have to check in order o display he title?

Regards,

Veljko

One more question. You will see couple of galleries inserted in the page. If you open one of the galleries reach the end you can continue to the next one.

Is that usual? I assumed that user has to close the gallery in order to open the next or previous one.

@tripatwhat – I’m only seeing one gallery at that link’s landing page … what are you using to insert the display with that has you expecting three galleries?

– Cais.

Hello,

so this is the link again:
https://www.happycake.com/dev/media/

Below the video player you will see the part called “Happy Cakes in magazines”. In this part i’ve added 12 galleries. Each has at least 2 or 3 photos.

So i have three questions:
1. How to add gallery title bellow each thumbnail?
2. How to disallow people to go from one gallery to the other? So if i open gallery number one, reach the last photo the lightbox will take me to the next gallery and i want to allow people to see only photos from gallery number one.
3. Changing of the images using keyboard doesn’t work. When i use arrows images simply don’t change. Can you check this?

Thanks,

Veljko

@tripatwhat – Are you adding all of those galleries in a Basic Thumbnails display? That is what it looks like comparing the URL but I believe you really want to be inserting an album display instead.

Try the Basic Compact Album where your album contains all of those galleries you are currently using … see if that gets you where you want to be.

Thanks!

Hello Cais,

i’ve added the album the way you’ve described to me, which you can see on the page.

When i click on the album it reloads the page and displays the photos in that album. How to make it use lightbox instead?

Thanks,

Veljko

@tripatwhat – The album/gallery setup you are currently using is working as expected. The gallery images when clicked will open the Lightbox Effect.

There is no method to have the gallery preview image in the album display open the Lightbox directly although we are looking at this as a possible near future feature.

– Cais.

In that case adding album is not a solution to what i need.

How can i then add a gallery title below the thumbnail while using the following code:
[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1]

Regards,

Veljko

@tripatwhat – You should be able to create a custom template that displays the gallery title and then add the parameter template=<your-custom-template> to the shortcode.

Here is an article about templates with NextGEN Gallery: https://nextgen-gallery.com/templates/

Hello Cais,

thank you for the link. It was very helpful and i’ve managed to create the template and add the gallery title which you will notice by visiting the page.

However, the strange thing is that the gallery that uses the template presents only first photo in the lightbox. The photo is in the source btw.

If you go back to the page you will see the gallery that uses the template i created. It displays the thumbnail and the title just like it should be. In the source code there are two photos, but when you click and open lightbox the control arrows don’t appear and keyboard control doesn’t work so i can’t browse to the next photo.

I also wrote about this keyboard control problem in one of my previous posts, but i guess you forgot to reply to me on that one.

Please let me know what to do to solve this and it would be basically what i need.

Thank you,

Veljko

Here’s the link to the zip file in which you have the template i created:

@tripatwhat – I’m not seeing any issues with the template or using it myself on a test site … what is the specific shortcode you are using now?

I don’t recall any mention of a “keyboard control problem” but that would be best as a separate topic as it’s not likely related to this template concern.

Thanks!

Hello Cais,

the shortcode i am using is:
[ngg_images gallery_ids=”1″ display_type=”photocrati-nextgen_basic_thumbnails” disable_pagination=1 images_per_page=1 show_all_in_lightbox=1 template=gallery-happycake]

When you open the media page: https://www.happycake.com/dev/media/, and then click on the one and only gallery there, do you see the control arrows? I can’t see them even though the second photo from the gallery is in the source code.

Can you please check this and let me know how is it on your side?

Thank you,

Veljko

@tripatwhat – Try changing the template parameter to template=happycake see if that helps to sort this out.
