Showing slideshow after clicking on one image

[epantekoek]

Hello,

I want to use Phoca gallery in the following manner:
Within an article 1 image is shown. When you click on that image the JAK-lightbox opens up and the user can scroll though ALL images in that category.

To me this is the most common form of usage somebody could want.

However, currently when I click on the image in the article, your being redirected to a page that shows all images in that category. When you then click on one of these images the slideshow starts. This is a bit ridiculous, since you do not want to display each image in the slideshow all on one page.

After long trial and error I did manage to get it to work with the normal 'modal pop up'. But I really don't like the lay-out of that slideshow. The JAK-lightbox is much more to my taste.

I've asked a similar question a few weeks ago, but got an answer back that wasn't very helpful for me.

I'm very frustrated since I am spending days trying to get this easy thing to work instead of creating the content, which is what websites are all about...

I don't want to fiddle around with the CSS, XML, HTML are whatever other acronym.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi, this depends on used popup method.

E.g. modal box displays image only but it can display image with links to next or previous images (iframe method), the same with highslide. The JAK is only image method, so it can display only images displayed on the site in popup.

This is not possible in JAK:

Within an article 1 image is shown. When you click on that image the JAK-lightbox opens up and the user can scroll though ALL images in that category.

The JAK method displays all the images displayed on the site. So you need to display them all on the site. Or you need to customize the code - you will skip displaying all images except e.g. the first one, but to jak image array you will load all them. Maybe it can work, no experiences there
