OK so i think last time this was discussed it was confusing so im going to try to make it simple.
I have products that are certain colors. I have many pictures of each color showing this product at different angles .
My previous website i installed a gallery that had albums. In other words you could insert 50 images in one album. The user would click this one album and a lightbox would pop up and view these 50 images.
I asked this a while back and my reply back was ” we enfold has galleries that are filterable” so i tried this three different ways.
One way is to create a portfolio and make a category , in this portfolio you add “preview images” then you make a page and insert a gallery and select ajax portfolio. The only issue with this is that once a user clicks the image it then opens up a gallery then you click an image in the galelry and then it opens a lightbox. This seems extremely complex and really needs to skip the gallery process and go straight to the lighbox. Im not real sure why that is this way. Also the gallery cuts your image automatically and looks horrible unless you would like to resize and crop all 800 if your images.
the second way you can do it same as above but in gallery you select open big image in lighbox. Well thats a great idea right??? you would think that it would open the multiple images in your preview but nope its opens the one image and then as you scroll through you go to the rest in the gallery which makes zero sense. Why would you have a gallery with categories if the lightbox scrolls to the next category?
all in all im stumped. Ive hired a pro and hes stumped. Its so simple what we wna to accomplish but yet its impossible to explain. we just want albums that you can sort by name an dopen the images in that album only if that album is clicked .
lastly, if you make a gallery and i insert 650 images of all colors and angles wouldnt that look insane? I’m very confused as the logic behind this gallery. Ive tried to install other galleries but your theme conflicts and wont allow it. Interesting though when i installed one today i inserted an actual album and once i opened it it conflicted but behind the window was your lighbox with the images in preview. So i know it can work like it should. I just cant figure it out.
I know support is limited by time and appreciate that very much but ive offered to pay many times for support. Im in a crunch here and trying hard to get this site operational.
Hey lucky7t,
Thank you for using Enfold.
Have you tried using the third “Gallery Style” option of the “Gallery” element? It will display the very first image and display the others on lightbox. Each gallery element can be considered as an album. The option is called “Big image only, other images can be accessed via lightbox”.
UPDATE: The only problem is that it’s not filterable.
Best regards,
IsmaelIsmael,
yes i use that option several times in my site so far. But unfortunately i would need to put grid rows all over the page in order to keep the images at a reasonable size and no filter.would be super cool if this was added some time in an update . now its a bunch of work to build a portfolio, etc.. when a bunch of steps would eb cut out if you simply could insert many images opening in a lightbox and select your image size.
Doesnt apply to this but it would also be super cool if you got to pick the size of the image that the “Big image only, other images can be accessed via lightbox”
Thank you for your time
