Open gallery automatically
« on: August 27, 2010, 07:51:01 am »
I noticed people  are not so often inclined  using the gallery.
So,  I wonder if it could be done to make the gallery open automatically when clicking the next page,  inviting this way visitors to explore it nevertheless.
If there is a way, I would like to make the gallery open automatically .
Thanks in advance.

Are you really using v1.38 or did you post in the wrong section?
For v1.38 I'm afraid you have to help yourselves...

If it is a question for v2.x, we'll move it over and then think about it ;-)

Please confirm the version

Sorry for my mistake.
I am using version 2 indeed.

Pretty much everything is possible, but there's no built-in parameter to control that ;)
Rather than reopening it each time (which I personally would find rather distracting), have you considered putting all your images into one big gallery (see @gallery attribute)? This way the users can just cycle through the images and when they close the gallery mode they'll be on the page the currently displayed image belonged to.
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.
