Sorry JIG doesn’t have that layout.

Ok, thanks for the quick response. How would I set up a grid so that each photo opens a lightbox that can click through a pre-determined photoset (photos from a post, category, tag or combinations thereof)?

If you need one photo to launch a set of photos that are not visible otherwise on the page: http://justifiedgrid.com/nextgen-gallery-galleries/ second example. It’s only possible with NextGEN gallery, or Facebook overview. There is a setting on the nextgen tab to open the galleries in the lightbox rather than on a separate page.

Thank you!

Firsh – Are you aware of a lightbox or gallery plugin I could use with Justified that shows the thumbnails of a gallery inside the lightbox?

Yes prettyPhoto has that feature you just need to enable it. JIG settings, lightboxes tab, prettyPhoto JS settings:

change

overlay_gallery: false,

to

overlay_gallery: true,

thx. Can Colorbox do the same thing?

I don’t think so, no.

ok. Another question. I’m using the following code: [justified_image_grid ids=”8892,8891” row_height=200 link_title_field=caption img_alt_field=title title_field=off caption_field=caption caption=fixed caption_align=left v_center_captions=off overlay=everything overlay_icon=on overlay_opacity=0 mouse_disable=yes error_checking=no]. Without hover, it shows the overlay icon and caption, which is what I want. On hover though, I want it to change the opacity. How do I do that?

The overlay_opacity needs to be not transparent and the overlay mode needs to be not everything as that disables the hover interactions. The icon shares the same settings so it’ll be activated by mouse hover that way too.

That’s the problem, I want the icon to be frozen and displayed (along with the caption) without hover. Then, upon hover I want the background/image opacity to change.

Sorry they are not separated by default. If you add this to Custom CSS (general tab, JIG settings), the overlay icon will always be visible (if it’s enabled), regardless of your overlay settings.

.jig-overlay-icon-wrapper {
    display: block !important;
    opacity: 1 !important;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
    filter:alpha(opacity=100) !important;
}

So once this is added feel free to set up your overlay effects in a mouse reacting way.

Re: prettyPhoto and thumbnails inside the lightbox. After I enable the “overlay_gallery:true” in the JIG settings, is there a way to toggle lightbox thumbnails on/off on a case by case basis? I didn’t find it in the shortcode editor.

No its global. Settings like that are advanced and multi line they wouldn’t go well with the shortcode format.

I’ve purchased, uploaded and activated FooBox, but I can’t get it to show up in the lightbox. Settings>JIG>Lighbox still reads “FooBox (not active!) is purchased separately.” I checked all the boxes at Settings>Foobox>Attach Foobox.

Which version of JIG do you have? You need v1.7.2

I have 1.6.1. How do I update?

Silly question – lazy, sorry. Got it updated.

In settings I have JIG Lightbox set to Foobox. In Settings I have Foobox set to “Add full support for JIG.” In my post’s JIG shortcode I have Lightbox set to Default. However, I keep getting the prettyphoto lightbox. I can force the Foobox lightbox be changing the shortcode setting to Foobox, but I want the default to work as Foobox. What am I doing wrong?

Have you selected a preset in the shortcode? If so that overrides your global choice of lightbox. Please choose foobox in the shortcode in this case.

Ah hah! Are all presets configured with prettyphoto?

Here’s a thought/problem. The presets are super convenient of course, but if you’ve set up (shortcoded) a number of posts with a preset, and you want to change the lightbox used, I guess you would have to change each lightbox setting within each post individually?? That would be really burdensome.

Valid point I’ll come up with a solution for this. No, half the presetd use colorbox for diversity.

It would be great to see a table with the settings used to generate each preset.

Great idea! You can currently see their settings around the top of the source php file.

Re: http://dev.bayarearegistry.com/mcmullen-fashion-show-cocktail-party/ . When you click on the feature image, the lightbox opens up but loads 2 items, the feature image and “Could not load the item.” How do I remove the load notice? Why is it there?

Probably another instance of prettyPhoto being activated on your site by your theme or another plugin. Can you disable the other lightbox? I’m on holiday now and cant yet check it more in-depth.

Ok. Enjoy holiday. But note, it’s happening in a Foobox lightbox.

Can you ask their support then maybe they knkw their plugin better! Make sure you got the latest foobox and JIG also.

Will do. Question: How do I add color (border and fill) to a Load more button?

There is a setting for it where you can tune its CSS. JIG Global settings, Load more tab.

Thanks. I figured out how to change the gradient color, bot how do you change the colors of the text inside the gradient?

That would be the ‘color’ attribute, you need to add it if it’s not there.

Hello. Re: Filtering. I’m trying to filter images on a gallery page (http://dev.bayarearegistry.com/fine-art-photography-post). The images aren’t attached to a specific post, but are tagged by different photographers. How can I filter by the photographer image tags? The system seems to only allow me to assign the images to different categories in order to filter them.

Nice suggestion yes I think it can be done. Do you think it’s more logical than how it is? Is there anything wrong with having to click on All? Mind that some people doubleclick on “the internet”

Absolutely. The AND filter option is great to utilize when you have a great deal of tags. In my case, there are around 40 some that are attributes that describe the content of my pictures. So ideally, the user would be clicking the filters, combining them, unclicking them, combining, etc.

Having to click back to All to get rid of the lone checked tag disrupts the natural flow of this process.  It confused me initially and I am obviously 10x more familiar with the plugin/gallery and its functionality than your average visitor.

Love your work though, this plugin is fantastic.

Ok I’ll check this out now, you have convinced me Contact me from my profile so I can send you a beta that will have this.

That is sooo gooood! Great usability improvement, thanks for the idea! I’ve just enabled that for filter_multiple=and and filter_multiple=or. Not sure if it’s meaningful when you can only select one filter at a time, I guess it’s fine the way it is in that case. Multi filters encourage clicking around a lot so it’s really necessary. Can’t wait to send it to you

If you are using NextGEN then yes: [justified_image_grid ng_gallery=2 ng_description=yes]

I’m using [justified_image_grid ng_album=2] to display all gallerys. Is it also possible there?

Add ng_description=yes then yes. Albums can have descriptions too by the way.

Okay, but then I have to add to each gallery desciption the gallery title. Is there no other way to show directly the gallery’s title on top of the page?

It’s in the breadcrumb if you enable that, is it any good?

I have enabled the breadcrumb with the following shortcode: [justified_image_grid ng_album=2 ng_breadcrumb=yes ng_bc_base=none ng_bc_home=album_name]

But it only shows me the album’s title. Look at this: http://www.wips-live.de/bilder/nggallery/2013/halloween-waldhausen-2013/

that is for instagram by the way

Please follow your step by step Instagram instructions on the Instagram tab. You can open the “how to” link there. You need to use (copy) the exact redirect URL it says in bold, to your Instagram APP settings.

I did. Here is my GIG settings and IG settings

The redirect URI is something longer.

or similar, but not the main domin by itself.

I think that is the missing instruction. I did not find that in any of the documentation. Now the authorization has passed. But when I use the shortcode manager to create a shortcode. The shortcode that was created is just [justified_image_grid] I was expecting something that has parameter for IG. The resulting page is here after inserting the shortcode in a test page http://mybrandboost.com/?page_id=774

Just so you know also. I am trying to show images from IG not based on any user but based on hashtags. I don’t know if that matters but that is what I am trying to do with JIG.

Thanks

The Redirect URI is created for you here: http://justifiedgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/IG.jpg

After you have searched for a hashtag in the SCE, you need to click on the desired result so it has a blue frame around it, thus telling the SCE which is your selection. Only then it’ll genreate an IG-specific shortcode. There could be multiple tags that are similar to your search. Use the buttons to select your Instagram source and do not use the “instagram_tag_filter” setting, that’s for narrowing an already selected source (there would be no other way to narrow your photos by tags for example).

You need to refresh the permalink structure. Go to WP options permalinks and click save changes. You can try to revert to no permalinks then back to your structure again. In some cases the hosting company is responsible for it, but rarely. Try the permalinks things to see if it works. If you don’t use JIG, the problem will still persist as it’s likely a NextGEN problem. You can ask their support too if all else fails.

ok, I think it has something to do with the limit of images. Possible?

If I change to 200 the problem occurs, if I change to 0=unlimited, the problem occurs.

If I limit to say, 11, the filter looks fine….but, I can only display this limit

??

thanks for any help.

If I understand correctly you wish to remove the “vision **” tags? I presume a plugin added those tags to your pictures [in the past]. So if you load more pictures then there is a greater chance these older, mistagged images will show up so you’ll end up with their filters added as tags on the top. What you could do, is if you have a somewhat fixed set of tags you wish to use, is to set filter order to custom (filtering tab), and as the custom order ender this: Brides, Guests, Mclarens, Girls, Details, Groom, Couple, Boys, Group, Engagement

Example:

[justified_image_grid filterby=on filter_orderby=custom filter_custom_order=”Brides, Guests, Mclarens, Girls, Details, Groom, Couple, Boys, Group, Engagement”]

Thanks for your reply. I’m having some trouble with this, see below. The same thing is happening. Do you know of what old plugin this could be relating to because this is quite annoying and I’d rather just get rid of it?

I am trying your suggestion, but without much luck.

[justified_image_grid preset=11 filterby=on limit=0 filterby=on filter_orderby=custom filter_custom_order=”Brides, Guests, Mclarens, Girls, Details, Groom, Couple, Boys, Group, Engagement” flickr_user=71460362@N04 flickr_photoset=72157634883074012]

Oh you are using Flickr. I copied your shortcode to my test site and I remembered you need to have no space between the custom order tags. So this will work:

[justified_image_grid preset=11 limit=0 filterby=on filter_orderby=custom filter_custom_order=”Brides,Guests,Mclarens,Girls,Details,Groom,Couple,Boys,Group,Engagement” flickr_user=71460362@N04 flickr_photoset=72157634883074012]

In your case the other tags are likely machine tags from Flickr or similar, I’ll investigate this as I’ve never seen those before. If they shouldn’t be included I’ll adda fix that skips them. For now just try to use this shortcode.

Sorry to be a pain with this, but I’ve copied this with absolutely no luck.

I really thought I had everything covered with this plugin, but I guess there’s always something that can go wrong. I don’t know, doesn’t look like the tags are going to work with me

If I give you my flickr API key, can you test this more in depth?

Thanks,

That shortcode worked with my Flickr API key, I added your user ID 71460362@N04 – I can send you my staging URL via email if you contact me first from my profile so you can see it working here.

The vision stuff should absolutely not display. Make sure the ” quote marks are not the print-type ‘nice’ quotes – codecanyon creates those. It may help to re-write them manually to be the regular straight quotes! Also make sure you clear the cache if you are using caching plugins (W3 Total Cache or similar).

So, I changed the quotes to straight quotes, but no luck. Cleared cache too.

Also, I tried uploading again from lightroom 5 direct to flickr, same photos, same tags, different photo set. Unfortunately I got the same result.

I then added anther set with over 90 photos in that set and no problems.

It is either to do with uploading from Lightroom 5 to Flickr as I was using this before with Lightroom 4. OR, an issue with my recent photos, but I think the first one.

Anyway, if you didn’t have issues, ?? I’ll contact you from your profile. thanks.

Okay I’ll show you. It’s likely automatic tags by Flickr or Lightroom by the way.

ok, so the latest is that I have uploaded from Lightroom 4 to flickr…same automatic vision: tags.

uploaded images on my drive to flickr, same result. So, I have to say that my problem seems its with bloody flickr, not with Lightroom.

If I use a set already up on flickr, all is fine.

Flickr have a notice up saying, ‘try our new photo experience beta’ so I reckon they are messing with something. Really annoying.

I added some tags to a set already up on flickr and they come up fine filtering using jig so,

anyway, thanks for your help, I’ll just have to look to not using filters as anyway images get put on flickr seems like it’s adding these, vision: tags.

RSS caching may be overwritten by other plugins, I’m using the WP standards. Are you seeing the new image if you open the RSS feed in the browser?

Are you using W3 Total Cache or WP Super cache or similar? They may cachce the page so you don’t see anything updating as the shortcode doesn’t change.
