Indexhibit Support

I've searched and read everything on the topic I could find, but I can't figure it out.

I know it can be done, but how? I have no problem making a section link to other exhibits using Visual Index, but I'd like to do the same with an Exhibit.

In other words I want an exhibit-page to link to other exhibit-pages using the thumbnails of Visual Index.

Any help appreciated!

I guess you can only do that manually - that is generate the page copy the html needed and paste into the text box (click the P button to switch off Text Processing)

You can do that when 'section' is your media source but it won't work with an exhibit itself. Linking to another exhibit from an exhibit is not something I really see a need for since there is an index of works always listed.

arsondpi - this would work if I could create thumbnails identical to the ones in Visual Index, which would be tricky if not impossible.

Vaska - In my case it would be quite handy and I've seen it done before, just can't figure out how. The structure I'm looking for is to have a section as the main theme - say "Film", have an exhibit as the definition - for example "Documentaries" and then within that exhibit have the Visual Index thumbnails linking to all the separate "documentary"-projects.

So, in this case: Film (section) -> Documentaries (exhibit with Visual Index) -> Several different exhibits (that are hidden from the menu itself).

As it is now I would have to create the "Documentaries" part as a section which I do not want to as it wouldn't be aesthetically pretty nor very logical for the layout I have in mind.

Using Visual Index and permalinks it would work right now if I could define the url of that permalink, which I of course can't...

In this thread: indexhibit.org/forum/thread/15696/ the issue is discussed but it doesn't answer anything. There is talk about "sub sections" which seems to be the solution to my situation, but I don't understand how and where these sub sections can be created. I uncommented the piece of code as suggested, but it didn't change anything.

User "artteca" has done exactly what I'm looking for here: lauraserrano.es/ (Interiors - Residential).

The reason they aren't released is they had to be put on hold. They influence a bunch of things down the line. A couple other things came up that became priority issues (I'm still trying to sort out the messy imagick code I have).

Ok, I understand. But how come some seem to have the feature enabled if it's not "released"? Are their coding skills just next level compared to mine?

I feel what I'm looking for is so simple, but I guess it's not...

Also, I just realized that lauraserrano.es/ does in fact _not_ work as I want, it simply has a visual index that turns in to a slideshow when clicked. I want each thumbnail to link to separate exhibits. Sorry for the confusion.

Then use section mode (visual index) and list a section of exhibits.

Not what I have in mind. I'd like:

Section1
-Exhibit1 (with Visual Index linking to Exhibit1.2's)
--Exhibit1.2a
--Exhibit1.2b
--Exhibit1.2c etc
Exhibit2 (with Visual Index linking to Exhibit2.2's)
--Exhibit2.2a
--Exhibit2.2b
--Exhibit2.3c etc

Impossible?

Not when subsections work properly. You can enable them if you want, as detailed in that other thread, but we can only do so much. It's not something for people who don't understand how to toy with (hacking up systems).

But, will it do everything you want if enabled? - I don't know...

Ok, I'll dig deeper. Essentially all the exhibits might as well be on the "same" level as ideally the exhibits would be hidden anyway. Subsections, I assume, add another level to the current "Section -> Exhibit" structure.

Update:

Using sub-sections this works perfectly. The only problem is that hidden exhibits do not show up in the Visual Index - any idea where I could start to look for a workaround?
