How To move the Filmstrip Panel - Down - in Viewlistings?

[Bronxgodzilla +]

Hi David and Mike
Using the wonderful j-carousel, I have been building a listing from a customer's manual, so that each slide is a page therefrom. I have adjusted the Image Settings in the Admin panel (and the dpi of the individual jpg) to within a hair of the pages being readable, but still the filmstip panel chops off the bottom of the picture.

The solution should be simple: move the filmstrip panel down--programmatically relative to the height of the jpg being viewed. In other words, I need the entire height of the slide to show.

I looked at the code of:

modules/templatecodes/scripts/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.galleryview-1.1.js
modules/templatecodes/scripts/jquery-galleryview-1.1/jquery.timers-1.1.2.js
modules/templatecodes/scripts/jquery-galleryview-1.1/style.css
modules/templatecodes/scripts/jquery.easing.1.3.js

I tried making changes to the most likely culprit, jquery.galleryview-1.1.js -- but no cigar, no joy.

Can someone please help this poor programmer satisfy a potentially quite lucrative client? What and where should the changes be written?

Thanks much!!
Barry

Not sure what you are really trying to do but the parameters you can change are in the viewlistng.tpl file at the top of it. Otherwise you could try and find another jquery gallery - there are lots to be found and they are not too difficult to implement.

Hi David :-)
What I am trying to do exactly is get more space on the upper half of viewlistings.tpl so that the filmstrip overlay doesn't cover the bottom half of the pictures being displayed. The extra inch the flimstrip-overlay takes would make it perfect. So I thought, why not program the filmstrip-overlay's height to be lower?


BTW -- in looking around for solutions I came across a post of yours from a few months back, giving advice on allowing lightbox/thickbox to take over by renaming viewlistings so 68C looks to default directory. Does your solution there only work with Neo* ? Doesnt appear to work with Sigma.

Image zoom feature?

Then change the parameters for the gallery view in viewlistings.tpl as I said above to get the effect you want

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#photos').galleryView({
panel_width: 693,
panel_height: 337,
frame_width: 80,
frame_height: 80,
border: '1px solid #fff',
background_color: '#e8e8e8',
overlay_color: '#e8e8e8',
overlay_opacity: 0.35,
overlay_height: 5,
overlay_text_color: 'white',
easing: 'easeInOutBack',
nav_theme: 'custom'
});
});
</script>

Thanks David!! I was looking everywhere but home base. Very interesting set of parameters which in part are being exchanged with the jQuery module. Ingenious programming. Glad I am with Templatecodes.

And, as to the other point -- of course the program went to the lightbox/thickbox default -- after I cleared my cache.

So it's double DUH for Barry this morning. However, I have learned a lot more of the Templatecodes integration by revewing the code in the jquery-galleryview module, so time not wasted really.

Thanks again for your patience.
