Phoca Gallery and Thumnails

Hi,

I use Joomla! 6 and Phoca Gallery 5.1.13.
I want to display on a page thumbnails that point to images in size 400 x 540 px.
I created my categories and subcategories with Phoca Gallery.

My catégory and sus-categories are :
Plats d'Etains
-- > Plats Antiquité
-- > Plats : Rois
--> Plats : Comedia del Arte ...

When I get from the display of the site I see the icons of the sub-folders.


I would like to:
1- Do not display the icons of the subfolders (Plats d'Etain: Antiquitéy – Rois, etc...)
2- That the thumbnails corresponding to the images display the reduced image and not a piece of the image
3- I can’t configure Phoca Gallery to get what I want.
4- Thank you for your help.

Hi,
That the thumbnails corresponding to the images display the reduced image and not a piece of the image.
1.) Go to and set: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Thumbnails --> Thumbnail Generation Settings -->
Pagination Thumbnail Generation=Yes
Enable Thumbnails Generation=Yes
Crop Thumbnails=None
Save & Close
I want to display on a page thumbnails that point to images in size 400 x 540 px.
Do you mean the detail view images or the category view images?

2.) This is the way for both:

Detail view:
set the large thumbnails to 400x540px
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Thumbnails --> Images And Detail Window Size Settings --> Large Image Width=400
Large Image Height=540
Save & Close
Go to backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Images
and recreate your thumbnails so that the changed size of the large thumbnails is applied.

Category view:
set the medium thumbnails to 400x540px
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Thumbnails --> Images And Detail Window Size Settings --> Medium Image Width=400
Medium Image Height=540
Save & Close
Go to backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Images
and recreate your thumbnails so that the changed size of the medium thumbnails is applied.
When I get from the display of the site I see the icons of the sub-folders.
3.) Go to and set: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Categories View --> Categories View Settings -->
Image Size=Medium
backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Category View --> Category View Settings -->
Category View Settings=Yes
Display Image Instead Of Folder Icon=Yes
Save & Close

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,

Thank you for your indications, but I did not get the right results despite the changes I made in Phoca Options pages.

I am very annoyed because I would have liked to use Phoca Gallery for my site.

Would there be other settings to do that I wouldn’t know about?
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely

Hi,
Since I don't know what isn't working for you with the changes I suggested, it would be best if you could post screenshots of the front end and describe what should to be changed there.

If you can post the live URL, it would be even easier.

Kind regards,
Benno
