Simple Gallery with Categories
Hi,
Is there a plugin/technique that lets you display multiple image categories (with a pic for each category), in which you click the category image and then view the full gallery?
I stumbled on prad_image_index but have no idea how to implement it!
Help would be appreciated

Hi Ross,
not sure if it does what you want (because I’ve never used it), but maybe helpful: upm_category_image

Mary’s plugin applies to article categories, not image categories unfortunately.
Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Look at smd_gallery. It can probably do what you need cause I think it can do everything.
Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

I think bos_image_index can do that. Nothing wrong with smd_gallery but it’s probably much more than you need.

Hello,
is this what you’re looking for ?
A portfolio section with many articles (portfolios), and in each article, only the “call” to an image category with <txp:image_index /> (or prad_image_index). A thumbnail is placed in the excerpt of each article and displayed in the articles list of the portfolio section.

Hi fpradignac,
That’s exactly what I’m after! I cannot – for the life of me – get it working using prad_image_index.
I’m not familiar with image_index (which is obviously the root of the problem). Is it something to do with lists? Do I need accompanying CSS styles? Some instructions for exact process to implement it would be exceedingly helpful!
Thanks very much!

rossharvey,
I’ll take time to give you a complete “how to get it work” like the last example this evening.
But for now, just try to put <txp:prad_image_index c="portfolio1" textalt="1" /> in your article, after creating an image category named “portfolio1”, and assign this category to your images. It should display all your images, after that you should add a brunch of CSS ;-) : look at the one I used in Arnaud Galy web site.

Re: Simple Gallery with Categories
…
You will need an image category per portfolio : portfolio1, portfolio2, etc. as you like, and a section portfolio. Create on article for each porfolio.
Articles in the section portfolio:
body =
<txp:prad_image_index c="portfolio1" textalt="1" />
excerpt =<txp:thumbnail id="676" />
(the thumb that will be displayed in the list of articles and on which you can click to access the full portfolio)
Page :
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:article_custom form=“list_portfolio” section=“portfolio” />
</txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article form=“unique_portfolio” />
</txp:if_individual_article>
Form list_portfolio :
<div class=“resume_portfolio”>
<txp:permlink><txp:title /><txp:excerpt /><br /></txp:permlink>
<p class=“date”>Click to see the portfolio</p>
</div>
Form unique_portfolio :
<h3 id=“portfolio”><a><txp:title /></a></h3>
<txp:body />
For the CSS : look at the example site
Hope that it will help you enough ;-)
