Hi! My site is eproductphotography.smugmug.com. i have question about http://eproductphotography.smugmug.com/Photography/Products/19754511_6HtFtM#1551619553_9M3SnnC
-- There are 8 images and when i click on each one of the them, i would like the image to be bigger. like a pop up screen in a way. Only i dont want it to take user to another webpage (want to decrease loading time).
(as of now the image links to a gallery- dont want this)
how do i make the thumbnail image get bigger when clicked on while all being on the same page?
Thank you!
Vicki

    Hi Vicki,

    It looks like you have the gallery set to Viewer Controlled for the viewing style. What you may want to use is the Journal viewing style. From within the gallery, click Tools > This Gallery > Gallery Settings. Then scroll down to the Look and Feel section, and set the Viewing Style to Journal. Have a look here: http://screencast.com/t/Jhj4oULLB4o

    Don't forget to save your changes once you're finished.

    If you have any questions or problems, please don't hesitate ot email us at the help desk. help.smugmug.com

    I changed it but it gives me each photo blown up all one one page. I want the person to be able to click on the image and it loads a larger image so they can see detail. But i dont want the larger image to be a link to another webpage. I want the larger image to be hovering over the page of that pictures thumbnail. any ideas?

    Hi Vicki,

    I didn't realize that you have customization in your description displaying those images.

    I would recommend going with the Old Journal viewing style, and have the images uploaded in that gallery that you want to display. Then, when they are click on, they should open a lightbox view of that photo.

    As far as the scripting goes for that, you may want to post here, and one of the helpful folks here may have some code to give you: http://dgrin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31
