You need to use the custom link feature on an image if you wish to open a different image instead of it. The feature you need (opening a set of images by a single image) is only available through NextGEN. You need to setup custom links with the NGG Custom Fields plugin (more info in the documentation). If the opener picture links to another picture, and the target (custom link’s target setting in the shortcode) is set to lightbox then this should work.

Thanks, I will explore that.

Okay!

I think shortcodes are usually stripped from most excepts, no? You can use your own function in the functions.php that creates the excerpt the way you want it, but that requires custom coding. I’m sure there are snippets out there for WP exceprts that allow shortcodes though. It’s usually disallowed because if a shortcode is lengthy and the cut-off point is in the middle of the shortcode then things will get funny and also the results of some shortcodes may look weird in the except if it’s not intentional.

Set the aspect ratio setting to 1 (it’s on the general tab). Then set row height to 200, height deviation to 0. From that point you have 3 options:

If you wish to keep the auto-justified layout and the 200px height, the grid may crop some of the images’ width to make that happen.

If you are not happy with the cropping but want rectangles, even if they are smaller then 200px in height then you need to enable the ‘disable cropping’ setting.

If you must have the pictures 200×200 at all times, you need to disable the auto layout by using a custom width and setting the “width mode” to “fixed”. E.g. you need 3 columns, with 5px spacing between the images, you’ll need to set 610 as custom width (3×200 images, 2×5 spacing) and 5 as thumbnail spacing setting.

I’m looking forward to it! I’m happy to beta test, and have an off-line site to test on as well.

Do you think you’ll be able to have the modified version ready for testing this week?

Sorry I’ll attend your case, I’ve been busy lately.

The four rows is just a coincidence, you need to feed the shortcode more than 10-12 photos to have actually something to load more.

thanks – blind here! bc i copied and pasted – thought i got all 56 images…thanks for the QUICK response – i love that about you!!

No problem

That’s exactly why round corners are not supported, there are too many layers and other visual features that don’t sync well with round corners.

Try

.jig-imageContainer {
    border-radius: 20px;
}

Thanks! As far as I know no. Where do you think that information would be, google anayltics or Facebook admin area? I think there is something like that called Facebook insights but I don’t know how that works.

I think facebook has an insights thing but I’m not sure how to link it to the likes from the photos, thanks tho =)

No problem. I’ve read that you need a FB Page and ‘claim your domain’.

Only thing I’d add to that is last_row=match

i added the last_row=match – and it did nothing…am i missing something? i want it to look like the new wordpress tile type effect

It actually did, the last incomplete row has thumbs that equal in width and size like the first one. Can you show me what is the wordpress tile type effect? If there is an effect like that out there already why don’t you use that, assuming it’s what you need. JIG doesn’t have other layouts besides rows and fixed aspect ratio looks. There are no 2 images placed vertically above each other in a row or split rows.

2nd question: If question 1 is possible, is there a way to upload text to each attachment image page?

(btw, my username is “banned”)

Hello banned What you need is already a feature built-in, you can choose “Attachment page” for the “Lightbox type” setting. http://justifiedgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Lightboxes.jpg

“The gallery shows. The user clicks on the image. A attachment wordpress page opens showing the image.” Yes this is exactly what it does. This concludes what you can do with JIG in this regard, everything else would be some custom code.

You can already add text to the images in WP, there are 4 fields. I’m not sure if these texts show up on the attachment pages, they should. I think it depends on your theme, and if they don’t show you could most likely easily add them with a few lines of code to the attachment page template PHP. Yes you can modify that page and make it look like you want it to. It’s been asked months before and you are not the only one who likes to show the image on its own and not in a lightbox. Since then it’s been added to the plugin as a ‘lightbox’ option.

That text is from the WP image field called “title” that gets its value from the filename. If you don’t wish to rewrite those to meaningful names nor show them, you can go to the Lightboxes tab and set “link title” and “img alt” settings to “off”. It’ll make no text appear in the lightbox at all. If you need the same thing for the thumbnails on mouse over then go to the Captions tab and set under “what text to show”... “title field” and “caption field” to “off” – or just the “caption style” setting to “off”.

NextGEN settings regarding thumbnail size and similar are not taken over to JIG at all. What do you mean by using the “full image”, and where? You need to define thumbnail dimensions or looks through JIG, the corresponsing settings are: row height, row height deviation, disable cropping, aspect ratio, quality + retina ready and mobile only settings. JIG (and timthumb or jetpack photon) uses the original NextGEN image as a source for the thumbnail creation process and creates them with a size defined by the row height + deviation. Then it displays them according to the available space in your page.

Sorry I don’t know what’s wrong with that it’s not possible to debug it as it’s seems a rendering error in chrome. What happens if you show less images at once or enable load more in JIG?

Hello, ok, I tried “Load More”. It works with “Click” and “Infinite scroll”! Thank you! Kind regards, Klaus

Great!

Hi, please send me a link to the page where you experience this so I can check. It’s likely due to PhotoSwipe lightbox. If you set Lightboxes-> mobile lightbox setting to “same as desktop” does it work? It may not be ideal so switch it back, I was just curious if it’s only with PhotoSwipe.

What i mean is: Can i set the showing images (without clicking) to a maximum size? like 100×100 pixels? thnx

So you mean the thumbnail sizes and not the lightbox size, right? For the thumbnails, the control is the “row height” and the “row height deviation”. If you’d like them to be 100×100 max and cropped to squares you can enter 100 to “row height”, enable the “disable cropping” settings and enter the number 1 to the “aspect ratio setting”. Otherwise there is no way to limit the maximum size like the way you want it. If you set 100 row height and you got a landscape panorama, it’ll be wide but only 100px tall.

If you meant the lightbox image size for Facebook then find this setting on the Facebook tab: Image size in the lightbox facebook_image_size

Go to JIG settings, lightboxes tab, prettyPhoto JS settings and add this line at the end:

allow_resize: false

and add one comma to the end of the previous line.

Replied!

And thanks !

Just for those who have the same problem than me:

I just uninstalled the plugin and re-installed it and now it works !

PS: I feel stupid now

I think you also updated to the minor latest version while you were at it and this fixed it (from the changelog):

Bugfix: The lightbox would not activate when the grid is resized due to scrollbar appearing

If you had no sidebar and not much content around JIG, and JIG caused scrollbars to activate (due to increase in length of the page) this might have been the case. The window size and different pages only add to the randomness. I was just trying to understand that it’s not a miracle but having a cause behind is a peace of mind and you don’t need to feel stupid lol

Problem solved: the ‘Social Sharing Toolkit’ plugin was incompatible with ‘Social Gallery’.

So my secondary question still stands: why does JIG insist on such a huge margin between my text and the gallery I inserted right under it ? Example here.

Ok on the first.

#jig1.justified-image-grid {
    clear: none !important;
}

Add it to the Custom CSS setting on the General tab of JIG. It’ll be pretty close to the text after this.

Set special effect behavior setting to ‘others’ instead of ‘hovered’.

If the RSS output is set up in a way that it displays the blog posts’ images then yes. Most likely it does. If you can send me a sample RSS feed URL I can tell you. Seems like you have a good idea. You can combine multiple feeds together by the way.

Hello,

sent you the mail from your profile.

Kind regards,

Klaus

Okay I’ll send that to you.

I sent it. If it still doesn’t work then a JS error is breaking other scripts such as lightboxes from execution on the page. Please try the other free built in lightboxes to see if any of them is not working (prettyphoto, colorbox).

I see these errors:

SyntaxError: syntax error <!DOCTYPE html> ?ver=1.10.2 (line 1)

Error: useless setTimeout call (missing quotes around argument?) ...ntage);},_scrollReflowContent:function(){var self=this,o=this.options,el=this.el… ?f=wp-...-min.js (line 165)

The latter is more interesting as it’s a BWP minify call that puts together all your scripts. Some plugins or JS scripts may not be compatible with this. Anyhow, in order to possibly remove this JS error you’d need to disable BWP minify plugin to have JS files load separately. That alone may fix the problem, but if it doesn’t at least we can tell which file has that “useless setTimeout call”.
