question before buying was created by ehrin
Hello i would like to know some information about this product.

I'm going to setup a commercial site and need a photogallery.

I would like to use thickbox because it can implement text as well as a photo.

What i'm looking for is something like this.

Where the image pops up and placed on the left and the caption,size of the photo and the photographer are on the right.

Something like this panos.co.uk/bin/panos.dll/go?a=disp&t=us\nw-loader.html&tpl=nw-index.html&_max=0&_maxlb=0 but in Thickbox

Is this possible?

Thank you,

Ehrin

It is possible, but it needs a lot of tweaking... However, if you show the image on top and description below, it obviously works out of the box.  ;)

Ok thank you.

Also I logged in to the admin demo area to see an example of how this works and there is no demo. Could you please direct me to the admin of the demo for SV pro.

That being said is there any way you could please give a requirement list?

Thank you,
Ehrin

I'm afraid we cannot give access to SIG Pro's parameters page, cause it's a plugin (mambot). But here's a screenshot of the functions. It's pretty straightforward really and has detailed documentation inside.

As for the requirements, well, it doesn't anything else than a working Joomla installation :) Cause it does not have any dependancies from other extensions...

Hi Fotis,

I have a question also. Is it possible to replace the generated thumbnails with self-made thumbnails? An example is on my website (www.pswemmelaar.nl/peter). Or are the thumbnails generated on the fly?

Thanks,

Peter.

Thumbnails are created and cached from the original images. If you want to have such functionality Peter, perhaps it's best to go up the next level, for a full-blown image gallery component. In these components you can define the thumbnail and large image per your needs. SIG Pro could not handle such a "logic"...  ;)

Fotis, Thanx.

I understand that the thumbs are created from the original and cached. My question was, can I replace the cached thumbs with my own without that they are overwritten.

On my website I use multithumb and it saves its thumbs too. But I did overwrite them with my own.  ;)

I did buy SIG PRO yesterday anyway.  ;D

Regards,
Peter

No, I'm afraid that is not possible, Peter. It's out of the scope of this plugin either way.

What we did in this phase of SIG is just add some "PRO" features, without losing the "easyness" that made SIG so popular in the first place.  ;)
