Fancy Box gallery category

Hi all,

I am having a lot of trouble getting my lightbox to work properly.

I want to have two sets of thumbnails. One for Design work and one for Photography. Both use the same gallery form but only display images from their specific category. I thought that by including the following, it would accomplish this.

<txp:smd_gallery category=“design” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery” />

<txp:smd_gallery category=“photography” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery” />

<a rel=“fancybox-{<txp:category 1 />}” href=”{url}”> <txp:thumbnail id=”{id}” />
</a>

Am I way off?
-Chris

Hello. I’m not familiar with the smd_gallery plugin but I’d hazard a guess you need to do something like…

<txp:smd_gallery category=“design” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery”>
  <a rel=“fancybox-{<txp:category 1 />}” href=”{url}”> <txp:thumbnail id=”{id}” /></a>
</txp:smd_gallery>

<txp:smd_gallery category=“photography” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery” />
  <a rel=“fancybox-{<txp:category 1 />}” href=”{url}”> <txp:thumbnail id=”{id}” /></a>
</txp:smd_gallery>

But I’m probably wrong. Where is Stef when you need him? Talking of which, just for your future reference. When asking for help with a particular plugin — like smd_gallery — it’s probably better to find it’s post on the plugin support sub-forum because most plugin authors will setup a watch for their plugins there and will automatically get an email when someone writes a new post to their thread.

Hope that helps.

You probably copied the code with all its curly quotes, right? Make them straight ones. If that doesn’t work, please be a little more specific to help us help you.

Umm, Steve linked you to the correct forum …

Re: Fancy Box gallery category

What I’m trying to do is have the “Design” gallery appear when you click on the thumb of an image in the “Design” category and the same for the “Photography” category.

In my page, I have this:
<txp:smd_gallery sort=“random” category=“photography” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery” />
<txp:smd_gallery sort=“random” category=“design” sublevel=“all” form=“gallery” />

In my gallery form, I have this:
<a rel=“fancybox-{category}” href=”{url}” title=”{category_title}: {caption}”>
<txp:thumbnail id=”{id}” /> </a>

Everything I have been reading leads me to believe the info above is right, but it is not working for me.

Any ideas?
