How to limit the picture
21 Thursday, 24 March 2011 11:04
Bangde

I think the component is great.

The only question I have is how to limit the amount of pictures that are displayed. I am currently using the latest Hot properties compoenet.
This is my  concern, currently if the users uploads 10 pictures it shows all the pictures and I only want it to show 4 pictures on my site.
As you can see my  site: www.meenarealty.com/index.php?option=com_hotproperty&view=properties&layout=property&id=7&Itemid=1

Hi Bandge!

The plugin does not offer this functionality at the moment and - from my point of view - to do so is out of it's scope too. Switching from one gallery/slideshow to another should not require a change in the sites policy.
If this is a required functionality, it should be done when uploading the images not when displaying them. I googled about this topic and found topics at the support forum of Mosets Hot Property. This question has been discussed since years and there seems to exist an extension to Mosets Hot Property that does what you want.
Anyway, if you think that this is something Hot Property misses, you should use the support forum to let the developers know about your wishes, I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal to integrate it.

Could not find folder

Very Simple Image Gallery:

Hello! help please

Why not find the address?
on the local computer is working well on the host does not work.

Package inserts to article
{*vsig}Galerey/kapelnoe|verysimple|align=1|sets=4|setstxt=Set|caps=1|inout=1{/ vsig*}

this is what shows on the host
Very Simple Image Gallery: Could not find folder /var/www/prestop/data/www/prestops.hostinghutor.org.ua/images/stories/Galerey/kapelnoe/
how to solve this problem?

Could not find folder
Thursday, 24 February 2011 20:18
A. Berger

Hi!

Please check the code in the article. There is a vertical bar (|) instead of a slash (/) between "kapelnoe" and "verysimple". If the images are in the folder "/images/stories/Galerey/kapelnoe/verysimple" the code should be:

{*vsig}Galerey/kapelnoe/verysimple|align=1|sets=4|setstxt=Set|caps=1|inout=1{/ vsig*} ... without the asterisks

Can images load on roll over thumbnail
19 Saturday, 05 February 2011 18:03
Steve B

Hi,

Firstly, this is a really good enhancement and works very well. Is it possible to enable the plugin to load images as a user rolls over the thumbnail?
I can't find a parameter for this in the configuration - but is it possible to add a 'load image on rollover'.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Kind regards
Steve

Thank you

Hi Steve!

In fact there is no parameter to change this behavior but it's easy to achieve:

Open the file /plugins/hotproperty/vsig.php.
In line 201 replace:
$html3 .= ' onclick=\'switchimg( [...and so on]
with:
$html3 .= ' onmouseover=\'switchimg( [...and so on]
Save.

Open the file /media/plg_hotproperty_vsig/vsig.js.
In line 69 replace:
obj.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].onclick = [...and so on]
with:
obj.getElementsByTagName("a")[0].onmouseover = [...and so on]
Save.

That's it.

Best regards
Andreas

thumbnails loading height 10px

it seems that my image thumbs load with an inline height: 10px. when i reload the page it sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. any ideas? email troy AT aimiyo DOT com

Hi Troy!

The problem is - probably - caused by the script "gantry-smartload.js" which (if it is present) is part of your template and (I have not proved this by myself but only heard about it) can be configured (template features) to stay away with it's nasty habits from the plugin.

Hi frelon!

This layout is not intentionally part of the plugin but you could try to modify the Stylesheet. Open /media/plg_hotproperty_vsig/vsig.css, find the selector .vsig_top {} and add "float:right;" just after the opening bracket.

number of pictures

Thank you for a very good plugin. It is very easy to use and looks great.

I have a question about the number of pictures. For some reason I can't see more than 20. During the uploading I didn't notice, but after saving there were only 20 saved. The other 14 are missing. Also I didn't succeed in uploading 1 by 1. Is there a solution?
Hope you can help. Many many thanks in advance,

regards,
Marijke

Hi Rent Door County!

Please check the Hot Property or the Joomla! configuration configuration. As far as I know Hot Property has no such limit but there exists an external plugin to limit the images. If you didn't install this extension, maybe it is a problem with Joomla! in general.

About the plugin "VSIG for Hot Property":

A) It has no such builtin limit. If you don't believe me, use an FTP client and upload 9999 images from 149_0001.jpg to 149_9999.jpg to the folder /media/com_property/images/ori/ and the plugin will display 9999 images in your test-property.

B) The plugin has absolutely nothing to do with the upload functionality of the component Hot Property. Whilst you are uploading images, the plugin is a bunch of dumb text files on your server. Nothing more or less.

Best regards
Andreas

New properties can upload more than 20 images

The property you referred to is before the plugin was used.
Here's a newly added prop: http://www.rentdoorcounty.com/hp-search/4_cottage/149_test
No more than 20. Any ideas?

Hi Marijke

I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Hi marijke!

Please check the Hot Property configuration. Maybe there is a limit set that prevents more images per property. The plugin "VSIG for Hot Property" has no such builtin limit.

Link auch bei Vergrößerung

Hallo,

zuerst einmal vielen Dank, dass Sie die Plugin programmiert haben und kostenlos zur Verfügung stellen, ich finde es gibt nichts besseres.

Ist es möglich, auch bei klick auf das vergrößerte Bild jeweils um ein Bild weiter zu blättern. Bei vielen Bildern in einer Galerie finde ich es schön, wenn es zusätzlich zur Vorschau unten auch noch diese Möglichkeit gäbe. Oder gibt es das schon? Wenn ja, wo kann ich das einstellen.

Vielen Dank

Hallo PW!

Das Feature "Sets" adressiert genau die Situation, dass ein Ordner sehr viele Bilder enthält. Mein Lösungsansatz ist nur eben der, dass diese Bilder in Sets unterteilt und zwischen diesen navigiert wird. Damit kann man ausschließen, dass ein Besucher scrollen muss, um alle Thumbnails zu sehen.

Eine Bild zu Bild Navigation ist zur Zeit nicht Bestandteil der Galerie und auch nicht vorgesehen. Einzige Ausnahme: Man kann das Feature "Sets" ein wenig zweckentfremden indem man die Größe der Sets auf "1" setzt. Das Plugin zeigt dann kein Thumbnail und man erhält nur das große Bild mit den Navigationselementen zum durchblättern (vgl. Beispiel 05).

Hello, we use your plugin in our website well. We made a picture gallery like Sample 1. How can we do that if somebody clicks on the largest picture, opens in a new page fullscreen? Could we do this manually or this is will be a new release? Thanks for your answer.

@Emerich Red
Tuesday, 16 March 2010 22:08
Andreas Berger

Hi Emerich!

As soon as you activate the option "Use Links" in the configuration panel of the plugin, a click on the main image opens the original image in a new window (if you have configured Hot Property to save the original image!). There are no plans to replace this HTML-Link with a modal window. I don't like modal windows and it would need an enormous compensation for pain and suffering to get me integrating any of these libraries in one of my extensions. :)

Best regards
Andreas
