Article Specific Image Gallery

Hello all,

I’ve been scouring plug-in pages and the like for a solution, but can’t find anything in particular for what I’m trying to achieve.

I’m currently using aro_slideshow for a static slideshow on the front page of my site, however I wish to use an image gallery for each article, with thumbnails and a main image which relate to that article only

So is it possible to define multiple article_image’s, it seems most solutions to do this require you to make a category for each article and populate it with images. I would’ve thought a simpler method would be to upload the images, and define multiple article_images (somehow, I know that’s not possible in textpattern currently).

Thanks for any help, let me know if you need clarification on what I’m asking.

Wait… one more.

I now have the thumbnails in one div to the left, and the main image to the right in another.

I want click a thumbnail, and have it display on the right. Any idea of the easiest way to do this?

Rimfya, I supose that ain’t thing that hak_article_image could handle by default.

But rss_thumbpop includes that feature, offered with javascript and without javascript.

Cheers!

Re: Article Specific Image Gallery

rss_thumbpop can indeed do that, and so can other plugins, but it doesn’t allow for multiple article images, it requires that you create image categories per article.

Rimfya: I think, looking at the plugin description (have a look at linktype="page") hak_article_image can do what you want, but I’m not familiar with the plugin, so if you can’t work it out you’d better ask in the plugin thread.

Re: Article Specific Image Gallery

I have used smd slimbox, with image id’s in custom field to make article gallery. So it is easy to make article galleries without categorizing images. Plus there is normal article image too. The presentation is of course different what you are looking for. But maybe those other plugins have this kind way to do it too, I haven’t check myself.

Wow!

Thanks to everyone who replied, and hak himself who replied to an email for me.

And now, to anyone who google’s this thread in future (as I google so many threads on this forum for help)

——

THE SOLUTION:

Set the thumbs as <txp:hak_article_thumb linktype=“page” />

And the image as <txp:hak_article_image urloverride=“1” />

And it seems to work perfectly!! Thanks to all again.
