Discussion on Auto Grid Responsive Gallery - Wordpress

Hi there,
the grid seems to be working correctly on mobile, but I see an issue with the navigation filter bar, is that what you mean? if so just add this pace of CSS:

.category-navbar{
  overflow: hidden;
}
.category-navbar li{
  float: left !important;
}

you can add it at the top of the css/gridGallery.css file of the plugin
Best, David

Thanks for very fast and helpfull suppot. It works.

awesome

Hi,
in the latest version that file was renamed to “reader.php”, try doing it there

Hi Aear,
In the lightbox there are some sharing buttons in BETA, if you already have the plugin and wish to activate them just go to the autoGrid.js file (in the root directory of the plugin) and find this:

linkOnSamePage: false,

and right after that line add these lines:

fb: true,
twitter: true,
pinterest: true,

that will activate the sharing buttons in the lightbox that look like this: http://www.castlecodeweb.com/files/plugins_comments/autogrid-sharing-buttons-lightbox.png

Best, David

Hi Aear,
I though you had the WP version, this feature is not included in the Stand Alone version

Thanks anyways David!!! you’re a big developer. Thank you for your willingness to answer questions. Have a nice day!!!

thank you

Hi Michael,
you can place another shortcode in a different page and specify a different folder right in there, for example like this:

[autoGrid directory="gallery2"]

Hi there,
unzip in your computer the file that you downloaded from CodeCanyon, then inside you’ll find the docs and a zip file named “autoGrid.zip” that’s the one you need to upload into WP

Best, David

That is what I did David, and I got an error message when it tired to load. (sorry for my delay in answering, I was expecting an email…)

I’ll answer you via email for a faster reply

Hi there,
yes of course, here’s the basic:
a) Activate the plugin in your plugin’s page

b) Put this shortcode in some page or post: [autoGrid] and then check out that page and you should be able to see a gallery right away (since the plugin comes with a default one)

c) Probably you want to put your own images and folders, so connect with FTP to your server (where you have the WP files) and navigate to this location: wp-content/plugins/autoGrid/gallery that’s the gallery folder, so you can just drag and drop your images in there and you will see the changes automatically in your page/post once you refresh the page.
so when you wish to add/delete images to the gallery, just connect via FTP to your WP and drag and drop images into the gallery folder and that’s it

d) Now if you want to change some settings you can navigate in your WP dashboard to this options page: http://www.davidbo.dreamhosters.com/files/documentation/#Options


c) also you can read the documentation here: http://www.davidbo.dreamhosters.com/files/documentation

I hope this makes sense

Okay, I will give it a try!

Can you tell my now, how I can enable the external lightbox with your autogrid? I have installed fancybox and magnific popup and both are not working together with autogrid. I’d finally would like to use EverlightBox, which has a comment feature in a facebook style. Maybe you are doing the same once, then I don’t need EverlightBox, since your plugin looks great. Everlightbox wrote: You ask the author of autogrid which is the css selector to activate external lightboxes on his plugin. So can you give me a hint to activate this?

Kind regards, Donat

Hi Donat,
The selector for the thumbnail is this one:

img[data-lightbox]

and the URL of the image for the lightbox is in the data-lightbox attribute of that thumbnail

I hope that makes sense
Best, David

Hello,
Try the following:
open the autoGrid.js file (in the root directory of the plugin) and find this:

linkOnLightbox: false,

then replace it for this:

linkOnLightbox: true,

then use the normal “linking to an url” method that’s mentioned in the docs

Best, David

Hi, the right click is “search google for image” is beyond the scope of the plugin, as its a feature from Chrome, I personally don’t see it because I have the “adblock” extension on Google Chrome.

But the only way I can imagine to disable it is to disable the right click completely, but of course you will loose the save as and all the other options

Best, David

yes thats what i mean…

Sorry my apologies, Ive just looked on my phone again and there is 3 columns now. Please feel free to delete this comment…

Don’t worry ,
You can configure this as well, there’s a setting named “minimum width of each column” you can set it for example to something like 220px, if the width (depending on the resolution you are) of each column is less than this setting the plugin will reduce the number of columns (so each column is wider and more than the 220px)

if you don’t want this responsive behavior and always want to keep the same columns in all resolutions you can set this setting to 0

I hope this makes sense

Hi there,
Currently this is not possible, the plugin can only pull images within the same server where your page is

Best, David

Thanks

Hi there,
it can be outside the plugins directory, you can specify a relative path from the plugins folder, for example like this:

../../gallery

about the layout, the “justified grid” layout is not supported

Best

Hi there,
the plugin is using the name of the image as “alt” and “title” attributes on the images, is it not working for you?

Best, David

Hi there,
well currently I’m working on the WP version of the Media Boxes and after that I will make a huge update for the auto grid (stand alone version) and after that the WP version will get a huge update as well (this feature will be included).

But if this is urgent and necessary for you maybe we can tweak the current version under freelance basis, if that’s the case you can contact me privately via email through here: https://codecanyon.net/user/castlecode#contact

Best

Any news about update with different number of columns in different pages ?

Hi,
I’m actually about to release a huge update for the Auto Grid (the stand alone version) in a couple of days, and then I’ll get this update to the Auto Grid WP version!
In that update I will include separate settings for each gallery/shortcode

Thanks

Hi there,
I don’t quite understand, the plugin is throwing that error? any chance you could show me a living example online so I can take a look?

Best, David

Hi Dejan,
I’m glad you found the problem
Best, David

Hi there,
the plugin doesn’t use the wp-gallery at all, by default the plugin uses a folder inside your WP installation named Gallery (in this loaction wp-content/plugins/autoAlbums/Gallery)

you can change the path of that in the settings by doing a relative path from that folder

I hope it makes sense
