All Thumbs View Question

RogersDA

Using a galleries with all thumbs set. Is there a way to allow clicking on the image to go right to the lightbox instead of opening the image in a small window with scrollbars?

I have not seen anyway to do this.

Thanks Allen...

I find it very hard to understand why after all this while we still do not have stretchy versions of other styles. I would prefer stretchy all thumbs too. I know people use the small picture in the stretchy style and never open up the pictures to see them at a larger size. But all thumbs is unusable the way it is.

I think one day we'll stretch it and also paginate it. But it's not as high a priority as so many other things we've got on our plate right now, sorry

If nothing else, Andy, paging would be an awesome addition to this view. I have been to galleries with all thumbs that had hundreds and hundreds of thumbs - maybe even thousands. I have no idea - my broadband connection couldn't load all the thumbnails - and I left before I could determine how many actually existed. So - thanks for considering.....

Was the original question if "All Thumbs" pages would open photos in a lightbox? If so, I'd love that too, and I'm really surprised that theres no JS hack to make that happen. Since SM supports lightbox in other viewing modes, shouldn't there be some way to code it to open All Thumbs images in a lightbox?

Thanks!

Is this what you're looking for?

Thats exactly what I'm trying to do, but it looks like that code doesn't work anymore. I tried it in both top and bottom javascript blocks, flipping the script option to "true" but to no avail. Later in that same thread the author said he wasn't able to maintain the code and that "smugmug-ajax" was replacing most of that functionality. But I'm not seeing a solution anywhere!

Meanwhile, looks like other people are hoping for the same thing but the threads have all gone dry:

Anyone out there successfully get lightbox to work with All Thumbs?

You can easily have stretchy all thumbs with a little CSS:

Just add this CSS:

#allthumbs {margin: 0 20px; width: auto;}
#allthumbs #photos {width: auto !important;}

And you get a stretchy version of All Thumbs that looks like this:

Bump on this! I'm sure there are folks other than me who want lightbox with All Thumbs. The old hack doesn't seem to work, so is there a new way to do it?

One of our plans is to have a paginated allthumbs style, with click to lightbox - can't say when we'll get there but it's on the list!

Thanks Andy! Can't wait - and since my work shuttle goes right by SmugMug HQ maybe I should stop in to keep bugging you all
