Topic: Gallery Images in Vcard with default Lightbox/Slimbox!

[Robert_Vining]

Got the idea from the post of getaweb for Highslide gallery images in vcard.

I wanted the default slimbox to work in vcard view for gallery images using the mootools already shipped with Joomla 1.5. No reason to load an additional javascript library if you don't need it.

There is no code to tweak, just 2 simple steps.

1. Un-comment the following line of code by removing the 2 slashes before the $mySobi = new sobi( $id ); in your vcard template:


Look for this line and make sure there are no // before the code in red below:
//   For advanced templating comment in the next line if you need to access other sobi2 object proporties
$mySobi = new sobi2( $id );

2. simply add this code to your vcard template instead of the standard gallery plugin code to generate the gallery images in vcard with full slimbox effect.

<?php
$myGallery = new HTML_SOBI();
$myGallery->getPlugin($mySobi, "gallery");
?>

Be sure to set the configuration in the sobi2 Gallery Plugin admin area to use the default mootools and your done!

As soon as my project goes live I will provide a link.

Thanks again to getaweb for bringing this little nugget of code to light!

thanks for the code,

i am still looking for something that can help me to display the correct caption on the v-card view - at the moment i get either nothing, or i get Image 1 of 10 using different options.  What i would like is the same caption that is showing when you go to the details view and then click on the image....please pretty please help?

thanks

Thank you this code works great.  However is it possible to only display one thumb image rather than all of them in a v-card?

Would you be able to help with that code?

I've made the adjustments but no change... still only one picture...hows that possible.

Hi,

I've made this alteration and works great, but when a click at the image it’s not open the gallery image just open the image in another window.

Other thing, there is some way to put only the first image of the gallery in the vcard, not all of them?

Tks and sorry about the english.

I am wondering the same as well.

At the moment it shows all the pictures in the gallery.

How can I make it possible that it only shows 1 picture (randomly or first one uploaded)

and secondly

When you click on the picture that it goes to the detailsview

Thanks,
