Show Photo Info

thebigsky

Hi, I really want to use the collage landscape gallery setting, however when you click on an image it displays that image but in order to see the photo title and caption the user has to click on the arrow at the bottom to reveal it.

Is there any way to just make the info show without the need for user intervention?

Yes, check out this customisation of mine:

That's fantastic, thank you! One question, the images now displayed in the lightbox are larger than I'd like, how can I force them back to maximum of large?

The best way to do that is to set the maximum display size of your images to Large in the settings for your gallery (hit customize->gallery settings, and the setting is in the Security section).

Hi Lamah,

I did have that set but something about the customisation seems to be over riding it?

Ahh okay, it looks like there's a flaw with this customisation if "right click protection" is turned on in the gallery settings. Currently, your image will always be stretched to fill the window, even if the largest display size is smaller than the window. The alternative is to maintain the image at its original intended size. To do that, find this section of CSS:

.sm-user-ui .sm-lightbox .sm-lightbox-image[src="/img/spacer.gif"] {
		width:100% !important;
		height:100% !important;
		
		top:0;
		-webkit-transform:none;
		-moz-transform:none;
		-ms-transform:none;
		-o-transform:none;
		transform:none;
	
		background-size: contain !important;
		background-position: center center;
	}

Remove the line "background-size: contain !important;". However the side effect of this will be that if your background image was originally tall enough to completely fill the window, it will end up getting cropped vertically by the height of the caption area (by default, about 45 pixels).

Thanks Lamah, I'll have a play with some various settings and see what I can come up with.

Thanks for creating this and for your help!

It's working nicely, thank you again. With maximum image size set to medium I think there's little chance of the portrait images getting cropped.

I can't for the life of me find the setting that stops the bar popping up at the bottom of the images when mouse over in gallery.

Is there any way to get the tags to show up under the caption on the lightbox?

There are currently very few options available for the display of the gallery, so you have to do it with CSS instead. Which gallery display style are you using?

Do you mean keywords? Unfortunately not, as they're not present in the code that SmugMug generates (adding these would require JavaScript, which isn't supported in the New SmugMug).

Hi, thanks for coming back to me, I'm using the collage landscape gallery setting.

Try adding this to your CSS:

.sm-gallery-images .sm-tiles-row-organic .sm-tile-info {
    display:none;
}
