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

Chris,

hello again. Sorry that idea of mine didn’t work but you’re still posting in the wrong forum. Follow “ >>> this link <<< to post smd_gallery questions.

If you read the first few pages of the linked topic, you’ll probably get more familiar with the plugin and maybe even find the answer you need.

Re: Fancy Box gallery category

Chris,

have you created a form called ‘gallery’? If not, you could try…

1. Go to presentation > forms and create a new form called ‘gallery’ with type ‘misc’.
2. Put this code <a rel="fancybox-{<txp:category 1 />}" href="{url}"> <txp:thumbnail id="{id}" /></a> in it and save it.
3. In your default page template (or where-ever you want them) put <txp:smd_gallery category="photography" sublevel="all" form="gallery" /> or <txp:smd_gallery category="design" sublevel="all" form="gallery" /> and save.

That might stand more of a chance of working.

Anyway, I’ll follow up no more here. Over to the plugin author.
