This sample uses the possibility to show the thumbnails right of the main image. The essential parameters are "Thumbnail width", "Space between Thumbs" and "Place for the thumbnails in Percent of gallery width". With these three parameters you tune the proportion main image to thumbnails. Settings in the plugin configuration panelTo configure the galleries on your site as shown above, the settings in the plugins configuration panel are:
Code in articleTo show the images in the folder /images/stories/verysimple, type the following code in your article at the place you want the gallery to be shown: OverridesIf you are using other settings than the shown above in the plugins configuration panel and want to configure just the current gallery, it is possible to extend the code in your article with Parameter Overrides (refer Plugin Howto Code). The settings for the gallery shown above are:

Hallo zusammen,
benutzte die VSIG wie im Beispiel 2, also Thumbnails rechts vom Hauptbild. Nun meine frage, ist es möglich das große Hautbild links "fix" zu machen also das dies immer angezeigt wird und das sich die thumbnails dann seperat in einer lytebox o.ä. öffnet? Wäre für eine Hilfestellung sehr dankbar! Danke!
Hallo Niko!
Wenn Du damit meinst, dass immer das selbe Hauptbild angezeigt wird, dann würde ich mich nach einer Galerie-Erweiterung umsehen, die von Haus aus nur Thumbnails anzeigt und diese beim Klick in einem modalen Fenster öffnet. Dieser ein statisches Bild hinzuzufügen wäre vermutlich einfacher als umgekehrt.
Funktionieren würde es aber auch mit der Very Simple Image Gallery, man müsste das Plugin eben entsprechend umbauen. Das ist nicht mit zwei, drei Zeilen Code getan und geht deshalb über den Rahmen des Supports, den ich hier anbieten kann weit hinaus, weswegen ich Dich einlade (das Plugin ist GPL lizensiert, Modifikationen also ausdrücklich erlaubt) entweder selbst Hand anzulegen oder jemanden zu finden, der das für Dich übernimmt.
Eine mögliche weitere Alternative wäre noch, sich nach einer Erweiterung umzusehen, die automatisch jedes Bild im Kontant mit dem Original hinterlegt. Derartige Erweiterungen gibt es imho, vielleicht ergänzt sich ja eine davon mit der Very Simple Image Gallery.

Hi Guys,
I love this plugin and I wish I could use it on the template I've purchased. I'm having problems with it appearing properly? For some reason when I click on the images it reopens the page :( unlike the samples.
Can you please help me with this? Not sure what the problem is.
This is the problem Page: http://www.ashalaby.com/v4.1/gallery.html
Thanks
Hi Adel!
The page you linked to is not online.

First of all - GREAT plugin!
The plugin option seems to be missing for number of thumbnails per row.
Consider your example above with all of the thumbs broken into groups of 4. Now compare that with this example http://quantive.digital-diy.info/quantive-tips.html (temporary sandbox site).
Code used (without *):
{*vsig}verysimple|sets=0|right=1|area=36|twidth=54|theight=38|space=1{/vsig*}
My plugin options:
http://digital-diy.com/images/stories/authors/graham/options.png
I understand now - The term 'gallery width' implies all of the objects - not just the main image.
For my attempt, the predefined width was too small to allow a second row of thumbs as shown in Sample 02. The result was a long list of thumbs in one column.
Increasing the gallery width behaves exactly as you have suggested.
Thank you
Hi Graham!
The plugin takes the width of the whole gallery (400) and the space available for the thumbnails (36%) and calculates the size of the main image (400x(1-36%)=256). The remaining space is used for the thumbnails and if 1 thumbnail per row fits, one thumbnail per row is shown. If you want to have a second row, just increase the width of the gallery and/or increase the percentage of space for the thumbs and/or decrease the size of the thumbnails.

Hey..
Very nice plug-in :)
I'm making a website for a band.
They want pictures from their concerts. So I need different Gallerys?
How to do that?
Hi Martin!
Not so hard to achieve:
{vsig}concert1{/vsig}
{vsig}concert2{/vsig}
{vsig}concert3{/vsig}
...
For further information you might want to take a look at "Howto Plugin" and "Howto Plugin Code".
Best regards
Andreas
does somebody know, how to set the thumbnails to the left side of the big Pic?! How can I realize this? Is it possible to edit the vsig.php, in order to set the thumbnails to the left?!
Would be sooo nice if anyone knew!!!
Yes I have. You bought the extension "Simple Image Gallery Pro" from joomlaworks.gr (I guess). This extension, the "Very Simple Image Gallery" has been forked from the - still available - free version of your plugin, the "Simple Image Gallery" with the intention to remove the lightbox. Since then the plugin has made some improvements.
It is non commercial so if you want to give it a try, go to the page "Very Simple Image Gallery" (menu at the left), download, install and check if it fits your needs. If so - have fun!
Best regards
Andreas

, where the active page is underlined and the arrows are links to previous and next page?
