Overlay Settings

eparada / 2012-06-03 02:00:02   

I havent downloaded just yet, but Ive been playing with the demo. It has the feature "overlay" which is everything I ever wanted (besides for a horizontal top nav) so thank you very much for that. but with that overlay, once youre in the overlay state, how do you get out of it? in the demo, theres no way out of it. and is there a setting for it not to be totally black? or are these settings in the CSS?

thats all. once Im positive about all that, im psyched!

closing could be with different mechanisms, depending on the format: visual index overlay closes with a close icon top right corner

at the moment, settings for visual index are either dark or light overlay

you handle settings for exhibition formats through options in admin > formats, or if those options are not enough for your needs, you can always go and edit code: php and css, sometimes javascript, depending on what format

pernin, i'd like to change overlay opacity so that the page behind shows a little. how would you suggest doing this? i tried to play around with some CSS to no avail, though I'm no expert.

You can change the overlay opacticy in your /ndxzsite/css/overlay.css file:

  1. .dark-overlay { background-color: #000; /* opacity: 0.9; */ }

Just undo the commenting around opacity and change it how you wish. Also, you might change it for the light version at the same time.

Wondering how to change the overlay color from dark to light for individual exhibits - some light, some dark and others with differing amounts of opacity. I could do this in the old indexhibit by saving a new exhibit php file along with a new associated css file for the exhibit. These files could then be edited and the effect was only across that new exhibit.

Thanks Vaska for closing the other post. This thread was closed when I posted here also. I have a valid question, please don't slap my wrist for not obeying the rules. You obviously know the answer and can help out but you prefer to slap wrists. Strange and antagonistic behaviour,

First of all, we do watch the forum to make sure people follow the rules - or simply common forum etiquette (like on just about every other forum out there). No double posting.

To answer the question, I don't know if it's possible at this time. I was never aware it was even possible with the previous version.

You could, because you have done it in the past, try to do the same thing. But, you would need to identify the CSS parts. Look at the classes in the body tag - you could use the exhibit_id to target something specific - as found in the /ndxzsite/css/overlay.css file.
