3-Step Gallery
Ok,
So I’ve created a bahjillion galleries that comprise of the old thumbnail loads larger image, but I can’t figure out quite how to do the following…
- a page contains a thumbnail list
- clicking on a thumb brings up…
- a page formatted with the large (but scaled to fit in css) version of the image (with title, caption, etc…)
- clicking on the image does the lightbox/slimbox thing…
- a fake popup with the full size image and the previous page grayed behind.
So far I’ve tried
- Hacking rss_thumbpop (not quite what I’m after)
- Using bos_image_index/display with wondertag (but can’t format image_display to be wrapped in a link with the image number from the url (eg. ?p=25) Too bad cch_urlvar no longer behaves.
Any suggestions? How can I read the url with a tag and use wondertag to feed it to another tag?

Re: 3-Step Gallery
I’m not sure I entirely understand what you want to do, but have a look at the code examples for wet_for_each_image. You can use attributes like id="{id}" in your tags.

Re: 3-Step Gallery
Thanks Els. Yep, I’ve been using that. But I still can’t construct a thumbnail list that connects to a landing page with a formatted single image, that links to itself (for the purposes of lightbox).
Kinda tricky. it’s a specific request of a person whom I’m assisting. Otherwise I’d go another route.

Re: 3-Step Gallery
It would be easier I think if you could use articles and article_image. But I suppose that is not your intention?

Re: 3-Step Gallery
Yep, I think creating an article for every image is a bit redundant, so I’m looking for an all-image solution…

Re: 3-Step Gallery
OK, I got it to work using wet_for_each_image, wondertag, urlvar and smd_slimbox.
I can post code if anyone is interested.
