Title: edit or alternative to highslide ajax preview
Post by: ir803 on May 20, 2007, 12:05:38 am
Love this plugin but it complicates my site and gives the user to much to fuss with I was wondering if it is possible to change the settings so you get the preview/medium image pop up when you roll over the thumbnail and disapear when you roll off it but as you move you r curser the image moves with it, I've seen this on a few photo library sites it looks very cool and as it's rollover activated it doesn't clutter the screen, but it still gives the viewer a quick preview of what they can go and see. Here's Istock where it's used nicely http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&text=blue&filetypeID= (http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&text=blue&filetypeID=)

Post a link to the thread that discusses the plugin you're refering to for a start.

here's the thread for highslide http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36558.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36558.0) but wondered if there was an alternative way to do it maybe by just adding a bit of JS to the template.

The plugin you refer to is far from being trivial. So, without looking into the code, I guess it's doable but requires a lot of code changes and testing. I'm not sure if someone is willing to look into this for you, so you better start coding it yourself if you really need it that way.

Thanks for the info, it's not essential, and I had a feeling it was complicated, highslide plugin is a really good option for the gallery it's just not quite right for me at for the site i'm putting together, as for coding it myself wwwoooowwweeee that's way out of my league, I'll just keep tabs on the plugin development and see if someone comes up with something.
