Image Detail box questions

[amerikangurl]

Hi, I'm having some trouble with my image detail views. I have images that all have descriptions, and they are not particularly short. I've added some test descriptions and chosen ModalBox as my detail view display. But when the images display, the description shows way below the image and pushes off the nav buttons and is pretty much not visible itself. I can't have the description display over the image itself, and actually, due to the length of the description am wondering if it's possible to change the layout of the modelbox, by pushing the image to display on the left and the description on the right. I've poked around a bit for that and just can't find anywhere to do that.

So I guess if i can't re-format the pop-up, how can i get the description to not be pushed outside of the pop-up and pushing the nav buttons off too?

here's where my test site is right now: http://www.francescadkr.com/test/index. ... &Itemid=19

select the first image. thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

did you check if the error persists if using a standard template like rhuk_milkyway? If it isn't it's due to the template you're using.

i haven't checked another template, but if it is, where can i adjust it? in the css of the template files?

nope, not it. i just checked Beez and same issue. anyone else, any other ideas?

i can see in the source, the code is adding padding of 20px above and below the image inside the box. if i could reduce that, i think that would do it, but there's no setting in the admin for that. i can change the description box height, but i can't figure out where the parameters in the admin are being changed in the code.

Hi, you can try to use different popup methods. E.g. on Highslide JS, you can display the description below the box, in normal popup - below the image or over the image. You can customize the detail window too, so you can set the different size of popup (modal) and change the html to display description next to image (but no experiences there, so no advice there )

see:

for parameters (resize the box for description):

well it seems it was a combinatiuon of things to get the description to appear closer to the image (higher in the pop up). i had to make the images smaller, the box smaller and the description box larger. i played with font size and description box size and finally found something that will work. thanks for everyone's feedback.

i'd still like to be able to move the description to appear on the right side of the image, so if anyone ever comes across this and knows the answer, let me know!
