I cannot display galleries

[psytor]

Good Day,

I installed Phoca but, I cannot see anything in the new Article to add a Phoca Gallery. I also tried the shortcodes but it only shows at short codes nothing else.

Did I miss something?

Hi,
which version of Phoca Gallery Component & which joomla! version do you use?
Which version of the Phoca Gallery Content Plugin do you use?

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi Benno,

Am sorry I think I missed the whole way of how to install Phoca Gallery... And I cannot seem to find it...

What I have is many galleries from my different trips... So I need a way to display a list of all my libraries so people can browse through them to see the pictures...

What do I need to install... How do I need to install it? Or where can I get all the steps to install Phoca... It seems to be a great extension but I can't seem to figure out anything...

Please

Got it... After playing with all the addons and components I was able to install everything I needed.

Now what I need help with... My "photos library" looks something like that:

Photos
|____2006
| |____Cuba
|____2007
| |____England
| |____Saudi Arabia
|____2008
|____ Switzerland


What I would like to do is to actually display only "Photos" and see the galleries under it... So people can browse through it...

Can it be done? I will try to fiddle with the options to see if I can do something

Yes, this can be done.
1.) Create a menu link to Phoca Gallery Component (List of Categories)
2.) go to: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Categories View --> Categories View Settings -->
Display Subcategories=No
Display Empty Categories=Yes
Save & Close

Kind regards,
Benno

Benno,

You're not a phoca hero for no reason... You are amazing...

Now am only have 1 last problem...

Why do I lose picture quality when I click on an image? How can I fix it... I found an old thread about it... But I cannot find the same settings... as they are mentioning in that old thread...

Can you help me with that ... And I should be... FREAKIN' happy after that!!!

Hi,

Hmmm, what du you mean with "lose picture quality"? See:
Your large thumbnail=http://sly-the-traveller.com/images/pho ... ba-006.jpg
Your original image=http://sly-the-traveller.com/images/pho ... ba-006.jpg
I can not see any difference ....
But if you are not satisfied with the quality of your large thumbnails, with Detail View Highslide JS(image only) you are able to display the original images for Detail View.
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Detail View --> Detail View Settings -->
Detail Window=Highslide JS(image only)
--> Highslide JS -->
Highslide JS Full Image=Yes
Save & Close

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi Benno,

There is a difference between both pictures you used for example...

If you look at an other one I can maybe make it more obvious to see the difference

If you try with this one, the lady on the left side look at her eyes... You will see how the definition changes. Here eye become blurry... It is minimal... But I have almost perfect vision lol and it bugs me

I will try what you said

Thanks
