Limit # images in gallery and build a image-ticker

Hi,

we want to limit the display of images in the gallery so maybe only three images are shown. If more images do exist, the gallery circles the images so eventually all are shown. I cannot find any display settings for the build in galleries. Is this possible with the build in galleries or how can we achieve this with a 3rd party image-gallery?

Thanks,
Florian

you need to create your field

Hi Micker,

thanks for your answer. Can you explain me what kind of field I have to create? Because now we use the image field and have a slideshow selected in the "Displaying options" under "Gallery options". But there I can't edit any settings. Maybe you have a step-by-step walk-through or can point out a page where this is described?

Thanks,
Florian

Hello

just what you proposed 2 different things, which we both have plans for doing

1. parameter to show only 1 thumbnail or only NN thumbnails (max) (this parameter will be used by popup galleries)

2. provide gallery specific parameters for every gallery :
-- we already implemented loading of XML parameter file for FLEXIcontent fields, now we need decide which customizations parameters to use per gallery


Both the above are planned -after- v2.1.3 final

Hi g,

thanks for this answer! I see that there are already beta's available for 2.1.3. But I'll wait for a stable version because it's on a live environment.
Is there a release date?

Thanks,
Florian

Hello

this beta has been available for considerable time and has no new (reported) issues (and has some minor-medium bug-fixes compared to v2.1.2 r1806):

v2.1.3 r1857 BETA

except for a new "ignore year" date filtering feature in FLEXIcontent universal content module which is not working

but it is not bad to have a duplicate site for testing
