This sample is a little Thank-You to those who made it till here. The shown gallery uses a - not documented elsewhere - feature. If you set the parameter "Sets" to 1, no thumbnail is generated and you get a nice little click-through gallery. Maybe this is useful sometimes.
Settings in the plugin configuration panel
To configure the galleries on your site as shown above, the settings in the plugins configuration panel are:
- Gallery width: 430
- max. Image height:
- Image quality: 90
- Align the gallery: Center
- Thumbnail width: 90
- Thumbnail height: 60
- Crop thumbnails: keep proportions
- Image thumbnail quality: 80
- Space between thumbs: 5
- Thumbnails are shown: Justified - below the image
- Thumbnail Columns: 2
- Sort order: A-Z
- Use sets of size: 1
- Label sets: Image
- Link/button forward:
- Link/button backward:
- Show captions? Yes
- Position of captions? Inside
- Use links? Yes
- Link original image: No
- Image root: /images/stories/
- Buttonfolder: /images/stories/vsig_buttons/
- Use JavaScript? Yes
- Switch on hover thumb? No
- Preload images? No
- File names as tooltips? No
- Foldername as ID? No
Code in article
To 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:
{*vsig}verysimple{/vsig*} - (without the asterisks)
Overrides
If 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:
- width=430
- height=
- imquality=90
- align=1
- twidth=90
- theight=60
- crop=
- quality=80
- space=5
- right=2
- cols=
- sort=0
- sets=1
- setstxt=Image
- cfwd=
- cbwd=
- caps=1
- inout=1
- links=1
- autolink=0
- script=1
- hover=0
- preload=0
- tooltip=0
- folderid=0
In your article you overwrite only the parameters that differ from the settings in your backend. For example:
{*vsig}verysimple|width=430|align=1{/vsig*} - (without the asterisks)
If you have questions or suggestions, please use the comment-function. Please include the installed Joomla! version and if you have problems - if any possible - the affected page in your comment.
If you need additional features or customizations for your project that exceed the scope of support offered through the comments, you are invited to submit your requirements specification and the planned budget by email (menu item "Contact" in the menu at the top). If you use this extensions, please post a rating and a review at extensions.joomla.org. |

Hi Trusco!
Could you please provide a link to the page with the gallery and a list of the 4 image file names? I will have a look at it.

Hallo Andreas,
gibt es Neuigkeiten, wann es eine neue Version deiner tollen Galerie gibt ... siehe Anfrage unten?
Danke!
Hallo Walter!
Ja, es wird dieses Jahr in jedem Fall noch ein Update für J!1.5 und J!1.7 geben. Fix enthalten sind neben der Behebung einiger Fehler die seit langen überfälligen Sprachdateien. Ob die zweite Ebene der Navigation bereits dabei sein wird, oder ob ich sie erst für die nächste Version (dann schon für Joomla!2.5) einbauen werde, kann ich noch nicht sagen.
Gruß
Andreas
Danke Andreas für die Konfiguration des Beispiel 5.
Gibt es irgendeine Möglichkeit, sowohl die Thumbnails angezeigt zu bekommen und mittels Buttons einzeln durch die Bilder zu klicken (wie beim Beispiel 5)?
Wäre das noch möglich, wäre dein Gallery Plugin beinahe perfekt.
Danke im voraus für deine Antwort!
Danke für deine Antwort und Bemühungen!
Grossartig!!! Danke für deine tolle Arbeit!
Hallo Walter!
Nachdem das Feature auch schon von anderen angefragt wurde, ist es bereits auf meiner Roadmap und wird in einer der nächsten Versionen kommen.
Gruß aus Wien

so simple, so great. THANK YOU !!!
And special for the sample 05 (set =1 tip :-) )))
I installed the plugin "very simple image gallery" and I followed all the configuration steps, particularly those of this page, because I am interested in the "sample5".
Everything works perfectly except for one thing: the images are very blurry than the original, which added as a simple image in the same site it appears normally!
Can you help me? I have joomla 1.5.22, and the plugin is 1.6.3.
Thanks, Giada
Thank you Andreas,
your answer is clear and helped me to understand more about the image galleries!
Hi Giada!
Scaling images using the GD library (an extension to PHP) always results in a loss of quality. This is at least my experience. To get the best results anyway please (first) make sure to set the quality of the scaled images to 95% in the configuration panel of the plugin and (second) - if possible - try to increase the quality of the source images using your favorite image manipulation program (e.g. GIMP).
Best regards
Andreas
Is possible that the picture runs automatically? What is the setting?
I use the mod. "Sample 05".
Thanks for your support
Hi rikk!
I am sorry, but the "Very Simple Image Gallery" has no integrated slideshow up till now. But! - you could use the "Simple Picture Slideshow" (menu at the left) which IS a slideshow and (activating the arrows only) can be configured to look and behave exactly like the "Very Simple Image Gallery" in sample 05. :)
Best regards
Andreas
Pleeeease....pleeeeease help me!
I left a comment 3 or 4 days ago but I didn't received any answer.
This gallery is perfect for me and for my website, I'm a newbie and I have a little problem with buttons. Many people said me they don't see them. So I changed buttons with other bigger, but the problem is always the same. So I thought to move buttons: one(bwd) on the left side and one(fwd) on the right side of the gallery. People will see surely buttons ! But I'm going crazy because I don't know what to modify on vsig.css?
Please Andreas answer me! :)
Thanks thanks Thanks
Francesca
Hi Francesca!
Don't get me wrong but the plugin is not designed this way and although CSS allows a lot of modifications, in this case you will probably have to patch the plugin itself.
Best regards

I would like to have buttons on left and right side of the gallery, like this:
bwd PICTURE fwd
counter_img
Now, I'm going crazy with "vsig.css" and I know it's because I'm a newbie, infact the left button disappears while right button is perfectly positioned.
Can you help me please? Tell me what I have to modify :(
Kindest regards,
Frà

Hallo ich hätte gern die Buttons mittig unter dem Bid welchen css Teil muss ich ändern
Hallo Jochen!
Die diesbezüglich relevanten Selektoren im Stylesheet /plugins/content/plugin_vsig/vsig.css sind:
.vsig_ctrl_left {} - der linke Teil der Zeile mit den Kontrollelementen (dzt. nicht in Verwendung)
.vsig_ctrl_right {} - der rechte Teil der Zeile mit den Kontrollelementen, enthält Buttons und Counter
Gruß
Andreas
Keep things easy:
Put the images into a folder at: "JOOMLAROOT"/images/stories/verysimple
Use the code: {vsig}verysimple{/vsig}
As you are working offline, moving the images into the right place should be no problem.
Best regards
Andreas
