Indexhibit Support

Hi!

I'm having a problem setting the titles lenght. Seems stuck to 100. where i can find that rule? thank you so much.

R.

Not sure what you mean - can you post a url?
To find the affected css rule right click on with your cursor and choose Inspect element (if you're a firefox user then make sure that you've downloaded the Firebug extension)

Hi arsondopi, thanks for your help.

lnx.studiosantarsiero.it/rob/indexhibit2/index.php/project/

part of the titles are not showing up. maxlength limit is 100 char.

i think the rule is in .php or .js ( i've found a solution for legacy version, not for 2.0)

thank you again.

is it really so hard?

im really worried about this,

thank you for help :)

Still got this problem

thank you for your patience.

What is the exhibit name in question? I'm asking because all the exhibit names are rather short in length.

Hi Arsondpi, thank you again for your support!

This is the current link:

uda.it/rob/indexhibit2/index.php/project/

As you can see, in the first title "TEMPOREALE" i just added two more "historical" as example, the title is cutted off and i really need longer title.

I think maybe cuold be something in mysql lines, but i'm not database expert so i dont know what to do.

( do you like my work? )

Thank you again.

Hello Vitaminic. I have a question for you. How did you made the visual-index title + text hover above the image? I only get the Title to hover above the images.

But I really want to learn how to add more text than the titles

Thank you.

Hi Anthonio, the trick is to use only the title and insert a bit of html in the "title bar" like: " Title description

This is the reason why i need to achieve more text lenght in the title!

you'r welcome!

V.

example of html in title string:

1.   <strong> TITLE </strong> <p><i> description</i> 

Try to put html in title string and go playing with css.

I can't figure out where they aren't long enough - everything seems fine to me.

I believe the limit is actually 255.

Hi Vaska, glad you check this.

I provide you a quick example:

Here's the link:

uda.it/rob/indexhibit2/index.php/project/

I just edited the last project "BB chemise" at the end of the page:

I wrote in the title string: "BB CHEMISE Tailor-made men’s shirts shop - Tailor-made men’s shirts shop Tailor-made men’s shirts SHOP"

As you can see, the last word "shop" is not showing up.

How can i fix this?

Thank you for your precious time.

V.

You added all of that to the title? Why can't you make use of the caption space too?

Thank you so much! @vitaminic

Yes i'm using just titles because seems the only way to achieve this particular effect. (visual index + text on hover + click and enter the project). Sorry, i probably wrong but, where is caption field?

Can you give me a hint to enable caption (with the same style) or extend titles lenght from 255 to.. 300? (this is enough to put my long and boring titles)

Thank you again.

V.

Well, holy carp! Look what I found on line 674 of /ndxzstudio/module/exhibits/index.php

1. $body .= ips($this->lang->word('page title'), 'input', 'title', NULL, "id='title' maxlength='50'", 'text', $this->lang->word('required'),'req');

50. I'm not even sure why there is a maxlength there. Try setting that to 255 (like the database) and see how it goes.

Wooa! This is odd, but i think i figured out.

I change this, and improve my css ( no more

Now seems to work as i desire.

Thank you a lot Vaska, indexhibit platform is an outstanding tool for a designer.

Cheers!

I'm not totally clear about what you are doing - looks like you are customizing a format. This is how I would have done this...

- use the Title space simply for title of exhibit
- utilizing the first image of exhibit (but marked as inactive), add a title and caption that will appear over the image (as you have in your design). *
- then, i would pull those things together for the sectional page

* Note that the first image of any exhibit which is marked inactive is treated special in that it will appear in a visual index but it will not apper in the exhibit itself - it allows you to create cover art for an entire exhibit.

Thank you for making it clear.

In fact, i've missed one single step, use the -title and caption- of inactive images instead of exhibits title. (The funny thing is that i'm using the inactive images as a art cover...)

Not bad, i learned something new.

No more words for your help!

V.

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again.

Adding "title and caption" to inactive image happens nothing, i don't know where indexhibit put this contents on my visual index sectional page.
There is a rule to call the inactive "title and caption" contents?

Thank u again.

V.

I meant that as if you were customizing things - it's not going to do this by itself.
