Thumbnails always displayed

[NickyP]

Is it possible for the thumbnails to be permanently displayed over the main image?

[admin]

yes it is possible, you have to change file jd.gallery.js.php in 4 places:

1) find:

Code: Select all

toggleCarousel: function() {
      if (this.carouselActive)
         this.hideCarousel();
      else
         this.showCarousel();

replace with:

Code: Select all

toggleCarousel: function() {
      if (this.carouselActive)
         this.showCarousel();
      else
         this.showCarousel();


2) find:

Code: Select all

'click': function (myself) {
               this.goTo(myself.relatedImage.number);
               if (this.options.thumbCloseCarousel)
                  this.hideCarousel();
            }.pass(currentImg, this)

replace with:

Code: Select all

'click': function (myself) {
               this.goTo(myself.relatedImage.number);
               if (this.options.thumbCloseCarousel)
                  this.showCarousel();
            }.pass(currentImg, this)

3)find:

Code: Select all

initCarousel: function () {
      this.createCarousel();
      this.fillCarousel();
      if (this.options.carouselPreloader)
         this.preloadThumbnails();
   },

replace with

Code: Select all

initCarousel: function () {
      this.createCarousel();
      this.fillCarousel();
      if (this.options.carouselPreloader)
         this.preloadThumbnails();
     this.showCarousel();
   },

4) last, if you want to remove Featured Content button, since with these changes this button lost its functionality, find:

Code: Select all

textShowCarousel: 'Featured Content',

replace with:

Code: Select all

textShowCarousel: '',

Many thanks for your quick reply - much appreciated. That has worked brilliantly. Can I change their position i.e. if I want them to appear under the main picture and text?

[admin]

you are welcome. It is probably possible...I just do not have time to get into it..

Does this all still apply for v3.2.0?

I have not been able to find

textShowCarousel: 'Featured Content',

I can only find

textShowCarousel: '<?=$fcg_button ?>',

In addition to this, even once I've changed the other three pieces of code, it doesn't work for me.

Any advice?

[admin]

it is the same for latest version,
but small change

Code: Select all

textShowCarousel: '<?=$fcg_button ?>',

replace with

Code: Select all

textShowCarousel: '',

I actually just got this setup to work for myself this weekend. Thumbnails are always on and are at the bottom of the gallery. Works really well. Can't honestly recall what I changes, but I was using firebug and narrowed down the css call that way. Simply a matter of margins if memory serves me. Here is how it looking in action: http://stlinvestmentrealty.com

Great looking website, good job. Do you by any chance know the line of code you edited to have the thumbnails appear on the bottom of the gallery. This would be very helpful. Thanks

[admin]

this fix will work only if you already followed the instructions in previous posts
1) in fcg options page set the text overlay height to 0;
2) jd.gallery.css.php find style

Code: Select all

.jdGallery a.carouselBtn, .jdGallery a.carouselBtn:hover, .jdGallery a.carouselBtn:active

and set the height property from

Code: Select all

height: 20px;

to

Code: Select all

height: 0px;

3) jd.gallery.css.php find style

Code: Select all

.jdGallery .carousel

and play with property

Code: Select all

top: 0;

Code: Select all

top: XXXpx;

, where XXX is a number, which depends on the height of your gallery, just try numbers..100,200,etc. until you find the perfect value for your carousel to be on the bottom

I would also like to echo my thanks for the Featured Content Gallery plug-in. As a relatively new WordPress user, I have been very impressed by the quality of this and other plug-ins.

I really like the effect of the http://thresholdstl.com/st-louis-investment-realty web site with the gallery always displayed at the bottom. The modifications suggested do not seem to give this same effect as the featured content does not appear. What modifications do I need to make to get the same effect?

Also, as a suggestion for development, I would suggest having a Carousel section in Settings in which the user can set the following:

If the carousel is always displayed
If the carousel text is shown
If the carousel overlays the image
If the carousel is on top or bottom.

Thanks again!
