Indexhibit Support

Hi,

After upgrading to Indexhibit 2, even the most simple shadowbox HTML Markup no longer works… For example:

All worked perfectly on my website with the previous version of Indexhibit.
Here are the steps I followed after upgrading (and updating themes and exhibits formats for Indexhibit 2 as per step-by-step tutorial page on indexhibit.org):

In the following files:
/ndxz-studio/module/index.php
/ndxsite/default/index.php

I put right after :

And just before the closing 'body' tag, I added the following:

As shadowbox was not working, I downloaded the new version of shadowbox and put the whole shadowbox folder into /ndxzsite/css/
Shadowbox is still not working.

Have I missed something obvious?
Has anyone else encountered this problem and managed to solve it?

What is Shadowbox? It wasn't created by Indexhibit.

Oh, it's that. Somebody adapted it for an exhibit format...obviously they never updated it.

You can use Visual Index with Overlay and it's somehwhat the same (looks a little different). But, it does handle video. Also, instead of Overlay you can also use Permalink - which is very nice if people want to link directly to an image or video.

Hi Vaska,

Thank you for your prompt answer.

It took me a little while, but I managed to get there:

With the 'Visual Index' format and with ‘overlay’ as on-click, I made it work thanks to the clever 'attach cover' option to individual thumbnails you devised:
- to the first uploaded image, I attached the clickable image I wanted to be visible on a particular Exhibit page.
- to each of the other uploaded images, I attached a ‘white’ image (to make the corresponding thumbnails “disappear” on my white background).

I then edited the /ndxzsite/config/options.php file to add more Thumbnail Max Size options so that the visible image on my Exhibit page is of the same width that the text.

Then on the Admin / Formats / Visual Index Options page, I set ‘grid’ to 'center/top’ so that the visible image on my Exhibit page is close to the text...

Still experimenting with titles and captions, but I thought it would be good to share this convoluted fix, even if, in hindsight, this seems to be a bit obvious.

It's not a 'convoluted fix'. It's how you get more and consistent options from v1 to v2. Yes, it is obvious.
