smd_gallery: super-flexible gallery generator

Dimitri · 2010-12-30 15:35:20

Hi

No it doesnt work.

<txp:smd_gallery category="?category" objectform="gallery">
	{object}
</txp:smd_gallery>

It would be great if I was able to do this category="<txp:category />"

I am also trying out the 4.3 core tags but the funny thing is I achieved what i want with this
<txp:image_index /> <txp:image_display /> but it is limited

The link you gave me to the Jeff Soo gallery, its great but it’s a very bad doc. The javascript code is missing, tried copy it off from the source code and it wont work. Also <txp:image_list /> is outdated but i know it had been changed to <txp:images />

but I need you to tell me how to do this, just any example
if I am on the url like this
localhost/galley/?c=album1
localhost/galley/?c=album2
localhost/galley/?c=album3

I want to use the tag something like this
<txp:images category=”???” /> how can I make the category auto-detect the name of the category and display it, I have tried auto_detect=“images”, no clue what it is for.
Do I have to use < variable /> or something

Thanx

****
My point is, I need to make this flexible, the client must be able to create many categories as they like, the code had to be flexible so I dont have to keep coming back to code for them.

You can do: category="<txp:category />"
But you have to do it this way: category='<txp:category />'
When nesting TXP tags in TXP tags, you have to escape the quotes by using single quotes.

Bro, you came from nowhere to save me from 4 days of stress, I cant thank you enough.
I will get that in mind.

I’m trying

<txp:smd_gallery category="animals" sublevel="all" limit="1" sort="random">
<a href="<txp:site_url />{title}"><img src="{url}" alt="{alt}" /></a>
</txp:smd_gallery>

but the {title} attribute is not parsed. What I get is a link to the site url.

Can anybody spot what’s wrong with my code?

Hi colak.

{title} is for displaying the image caption. From when you upload the image, and you add some texts in the “Caption” textarea

I dont know what you are trying to achieve with your code. Try something like this, to open the image to an new window.

<txp:smd_gallery category="animals" sublevel="all" limit="1" sort="random">
    <a href="{url}"><img src="{url}" alt="{alt}" /></a>
    <p>{title}</p>
</txp:smd_gallery>

Hi dimitri,

Thanks for the reply

I am trying to link the image to a particular page not to itself.

What I expected to get is

<a href="http://mysite.tld/title"><img src="images/x.jpg" alt="my alt tag" width="230" height="300" /></a>

Shouldn’t it work with <txp:article_url_title /> since you’re calling the gallery from within an article?

I’m not. I’m calling it from within a template. But I still don’t understand why {title} is not parsed.

Like I said in my previous post, {title} merely outputs the text. It definitely will not work if you try make a link with this attribute.

colak · 2011-01-09 19:16:52

well the strange thing is that it seems that it is not parsed at all even when I use

<txp:smd_gallery category="animals" sublevel="all" limit="1" sort="random">
<txp:image id="{id}" />
<br />{title}
</txp:smd_gallery>

Make sure when you upload an image in the backend, you must add some texts in the “Caption” textarea.
It will be parsed, also wrap it around in <p> for the CSS.

When you say ‘not parsed’, you mean that you see the actual string {title} in the HTML output? That is weird. Do any of the other smd_gallery {} substitutions get replaced with their equivalents? As Dimitri says, since smd_gallery v0.50, {caption} and {title} mean the same thing.

In your latest example, do you see images but no captions? What does the rendered HTML look like? Do you just see:

<img src="some_image" />
<br />
<img src="some_other_image" />
<br />
...

? I admit I don’t quite get what you’re doing. Are you uploading images and setting the image Caption to the url_title of an article so you can link to an article from an image?
