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 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.

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.

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

Hi Michelle!


Hard to tell because I don't know what component you mean. In general: This extension is developed to replace the default gallery of Mosets Hot Property 1.0.0RC1. It is not developed to be used "within" any other component but it should not conflict with components used along with Hot Property. If it does - please report.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
Firts a big thanks as VSIG is really easy to install and get going. Only I have a problem: Photos do not get automatically resized so they appear in their original different sizes and most of all, the quality ends up being blurry... The original HP 1.0RC image gallery didn't have this problem. Any solution? website is www.skipropertyshop.com
Thanks for your reply

Hi Davson!

The Very Simple Image Gallery doesn't create&store resized images/thumbnails because this functionality is already part of Mosets Hot Property itself. Anyway, the next version will come with an option to set a maximum height for the images too.

Best regards
Andreas

Hi Nick!

Yes, that's the reason. Hot Property 1.0.0RC1 introduced the possibility to replace the default gallery plugin with a custom one and this extension uses this possibility. If you want to use it - please update Hot Property.

Best regards
Andreas

VSIG is not working on my site. Is it because I'm using Hot property version 1.0.0b3 ???
thank you!

Hi Jonathan!

This plugin is a replacement of the default gallery plugin that comes with HP1.0.0RC1. It uses the same images (stored in /media/com_hotproperty/images/). Install the plugin, enable it and disable the default gallery plugin (refer to Howto Plugin - menu at the left). That's it.

Best regards
Andreas

Since I would like this plugin to REPLACE the existing HP gallery plugin... how can we import or switch the image directories over to use the new plugin? We have 100's of properties with a dozen photos in each property. Re-uploading them all is not an option...

Thanks
