More button on Google Photo – using Slide Show layout

  • Resolved home2mars

    6 years, 5 months ago

    [gallery type='google' view='photos' album_id='xxxxx' media='photos' count='100' more='More' photo_count='100' photo_more='More' layout='strip-below' thumb_size='150' crop_thumb='crop' main_size='800' tile_size='800' fx='slide' controls='show' ]

    I have 1900 photos on that album, max to retrieve is 100, I need to show ‘MORE” button and I think I got the short-code correctly for that?

    Please help to figure out where the hiccup is.

    TIA!

    There is no way to show more than the maximum limit in a slideshow layout. It is not possible to build out a suitable user experience for it.

    You will need to use one of the other layouts for this.

    Thank you. The current short code is:
    [gallery type='google' view='photos' album_id='XXXX' crop_thumb='crop' columns='5' count='25' more='More' title_position='none' media='photos' main_size='800' thumb_size='150' layout='circle' photo_count='20' photo_more='More' tile_size='800' fx='slide' controls='show']

    What is the difference between count and photo_count. Also I think the photo_count is off by 1, putting 20 only display 19.https://www.troop1128.org/2018/10/jul-2018-wind-river-backpacking/

    My next question is the difference between more and photo_more shortcode.
    Finally, somehow on my page, the more button is not shown until hovering.
    I assume the default color for your ‘more’ is blue, where can I change it?

    Thanks again

    According to Google’s documentation the number of photos returned is an approximation of what you pass – they don’t necessarily give you an exact match!

    The count attribute is used to control how many items are shown on the main page. E.g. You have 20 albums but want to show 10 – you set count='10'. But let’s say each album has 200 photos, and you want to control what shows up when you click on the album’s thumbnail. That is when you use photo_count
