simple image gallery
I made a simple image gallery by these instructions .
I created section “gallery” and I use it as a menu link.
I have 4 different image categories which addresses are:
http://www.muinasjutupidu.ee/textpattern/pildialbum/?c=kakud
http://www.muinasjutupidu.ee/textpattern/pildialbum/?c=kullid
http://www.muinasjutupidu.ee/textpattern/pildialbum/?c=pistrikud
http://www.muinasjutupidu.ee/textpattern/pildialbum/?c=raehnid
but how to call them?
I want to do like this: when I click on the menu item “gallery” it opens a page where are 4 links to my different galleries, like here .

Use a category list
<txp:category_list break="li" this_section="1" wraptag="ul" />

but where I should use it, and how? in page template, in form?
I have page template “gallery_simple”:
<txp:image_index wraptag="div" break="" />
<txp:image_display />and I use section “Gallery”(uses page temp. “gallery_simple”) as a link in a menu.
and I want that link “Gallery” displays links to my image galleries (4)

Re: simple image gallery
Tere,
- http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:image_index_/ example 1
- http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:image_display_/ example 1 also
- http://textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:if_category example 2
- http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?pid=83119 not so helpful link..
So I’d try In page template (or in misc form called from page):
<txp:if_category>
<txp:image_index />
<txp:image_display />
<txp:else />
<txp:category_list type="image" limit="10" break="li" wraptag="ol" />
</txp:if_category>Or something.. I didn’t tested it, haven’t had time to try images yet.. :(

…and I didn’t.
I want to align thumbs into center and leave 3px space between them. and I am using external css stylesheet.

Re: simple image gallery
Try <div id="imageindex"><txp:image_index /></div> and in CSS #imageindex { text-align:center;}
I’d move image display inside the div too.. You might have to center that another image with margin tricks etc.. Google “css centering” – or do ask again – if in doubt (:
3px between the images is a bit hard. I would take the easy route and start liking 4px or 2px between the images. ( #imageindex img { padding: 2px; } or something.. )

thanks, aligning works well now, but…all thumbs are in one column now (second below the first), I would like to display them in a row (from left to right). look at yourself homepage

weard…I will deal with this later.

Re: simple image gallery
<txp:image_index break="" /> and maybe #imageindex img{ padding: 4px; display: inline; } ?

yes, brake=”“ was the magic word and margin: 4px; not padding. thanks

Re: simple image gallery
I am an entry level user. I’m using TextPattern 4.08.
I want to add a couple of simple photo galleries to my blog.
I tried the directions listed here: http://textpattern.com/faq/138/can-i-make-an-image-gallery.
This seems to work only for one gallery and the instructions were posted in 2005 so they’re not quite relevant.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: simple image gallery
Yes, things have improved a lot since then.
Take a look at smd_gallery
It seems a bit daunting at first, but that’s the price you pay for flexibility.
That said, Stef supplies loads of sample markup for various gallery styles – Lightbox, hover&swap, pop-up windows – to get you started. Check out the documentation/help.
There’s hardly anything you couldn’t achieve with smd_gallery.
