Possible to have text content appear only when you've clicked on the thumbnail?

@laura Nuttall – Not all of the bundled Lightbox Effects will display the image’s description, have you tried the other options under Gallery > Other Options > Lightbox Effects?

Thanks!

Hi Cais,

Thanks for the quick answer! I’ve found the gallery options that do show the text placed in ‘description’ however my problem is I DON’T want it to show on the tiled gallery page, ONLY when the image is clicked do I want it to show in the pop-up window. Does that make sense? It’s just far too cluttered to have all that text on the gallery page.

Many thanks for your help!

Cais – you can see what I mean on this page here.

All that text under the left-hand image is untidy, any way to get it to appear only on the pop-up window?

@laura Nuttall – Change to not using the “captions” template. I would suggest start with the default (read: blank) template and see how that works for you. The templates themselves do not affect what is displayed in the Lightbox Effects.

Forgive my ignorance but where do I find that setting? Thanks!

@laura Nuttall – If you have inserted the display via the IGW (“green button”) in the TinyMCE editor then click on the preview image and check under the customizations panel. The template drop-down option is there. If it is selected, then you may need to manually delete it from that display.

You may also need to change your “default” under Gallery > Gallery Settings > NextGEN Basic Thumbnails to use the default (read: blank) template as well (or first).

Cais, I found it! Went to the page where the gallery is and edited from there.
I do have a new problem though…the thumbnails in the gallery are overlapping and not sitting nicely on the page. Where would I adjust the spacing?

Thank you again!

@laura Nuttall – I would suspect some custom CSS to move the images apart … maybe:

.ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box {
    margin-bottom: 10px !important;
}

– Cais.

PS: I’m not really seeing an “overlap” so the above CSS just separates the images a bit.

That’s great, thank you so much Cais. Top notch customer service, I’ve found all the answers I was looking for ??

@laura Nuttall – Thank you!
