I18N Gallery

[aldebaran]

Hi mvlcek

Thanks very much for your quick answers !

As you already found out, you can specify one thumb of the gallery to be shown. If you want more thumbs to be shown, you can add tags to the gallery images (when editing the gallery) and then use one (or more) of the tags as in (% gallery name=mygallery tags=shirts %).

OK great. Apologies, I did not notice in your description about the tags param in the Extenteted Usage section of your docs / description http://mvlcek.bplaced.net/get-simple/i18ngallery I tried the tags param, and it works as you describe

ALSO / BUT : In your gallery docs page you describe the param imagetags … I tried this also with the (% %) syntax but it did not work .. So can you only use this with a full <php … ?> call in a template ? .. If so, would it not be better to standardise on these params so they are the same for both types of syntax (% ... % ) and <php … ?> ?

However, all these images matching the tags will be at one position on the page.

OK I guess this will be OK. I will see if this is OK for my client

Yes, you can't specify a (% gallery ... %) with the same name twice on a page.

OK that’s clear. But at least I see I can specify more than one (% gallery ... %) on the same page, as long as they are all different galleries / gallery names.

BUT, on your docs page, what do you mean “id - use it as an identifier, if you include a gallery more than once on a page” ? … Can you clarify ? … To me “a gallery more than once ..” means it can be the same gallery, whereas you probably mean that the galleries must be different … Can you give an example of using id. How would you use id ? If you say you cannot have the same gallery twice on the same page, then what is the purpose of id ? … the unique gallery name could act as the identifier … ?

You would need an extra page (e.g. named mygallerypage) with the gallery tag e.g. (% gallery name=mygallery %). You could also specify autostart=true, if using e.g. prettyphoto.

On you other pages you would then add links like (% gallerylink name=mygallery url=mygallerypage thumb=1 %). This will show the 2nd image of the gallery and a click on this link would then open the page mygallerypage and show the gallery.

Ah got it . So this just represents a normal link to another normal GS page. So the url param refers to the slug name of any normal GS page .. PS it seems that the name can be any valid gallery name, and the url can be any GS page, whether there is a gallery there or not.

In your docs page you have “Add a link to a gallery by adding the following to your page “ , but I did not understand “to a gallery” … You actually mean “to any GetSimple page with the slug given by the url param” .. yes ?
