Greetings,

I found this beautiful Piwigo site:
https://phototheque.univ-paris1.fr/

What are they using for the carousel?
I mean on the main page they have a bunch of huge photos which rotate...along with a dash - dash thingy at the bottom........telling us which photo is being shown.........beautiful!

Is it possible for me to make something like that on my personal Piwigo site?

Thanks for your tips!

Piwigo URL: https://www.rajdude.com/photography/

My research so far:

I have read that the theme Bootstrap darkroom has some kind of carousel. I have tried to enable it but nothing shows up on my site

https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=831

Here is what I have followed so far

https://github.com/tkuther/piwigo-boots … ron-banner

Maybe it is not the banner which I want to change......maybe it is the front page of Piwigo?

Any tips are highly appreciated.
Please help me :-)

HOLY COW! :-)
Looks like I am getting close!
I have something similar to what I want running here: http://rajdude.com/photography/

I used this procedure:

I think I spoke too soon :-(
The carousel works but the gray button to "enter the gallery" does not work. It is linking to something which does not exist:
http://rajdude.com/index/categories

I can see the href in the code...I guess I need to change it to Piwigo's gallary page....but IDK....
What should it be?

rajdude · 2021-05-18 20:01:02

Aha! I found the correct URL by referencing to the site I wanted to mimic :-)
It should be this:

/photography/index.php?/categories

Of course the leading "/photography/" applies to my particular Piwigo installation.

rajdude · 2021-05-18 22:15:58

hmmm....now I am becoming too "greedy" ;-)

Is it possible for the carousel to show photos only from a particular Piwigo album?

it is carousel with some styles on top
There may be some inspiration could be obtained from Extended Description plugin which has carrousel/slider support
You can add Root page using Additional Pages plugin

example:

[slider album=3 nb_images=10 random=yes size=M speed=8 title=no effect=boxRainReverse arrows=false control=true elastic=false]

allows you pick an album and many other options
Once you have content, you can style it any way you like

[slider album=xx]
This tag allows to insert a photo slideshow.

Options: (you must set album OR list)
album: (optional) source album
nb_images: (optional) max number of photos to display in the slideshow
random: (optional) choose photos randomly in the album
list: (optional) a list of photos ids separated by a comma
size: (optional) the size of the photos, from (SQ, TH, XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL)
speed: (optional) the slideshow speed (in seconds)
title: (optional) display photo title
effect: (optional) transition effect (see NivoSlider doc)
arrows: (optional) display navigation arrows
elastic: (optional) adapt slideshow size to each photo
control: (optional) display navigation controls, can also be set to thumb
thumbs_size: (optional) thumbnails size in pixel if control=thumb

Thank you Serge D!

I will look into this....but still not clear how to pick an album.
For example, in my test website, I would like to pick up this album and in the carousel, show only the contents of that album:

http://rajdude.com/photography/index.php?/category/6

How do I do that?

Serge D · 2021-05-21 19:59:13

Try
[slider album=6 nb_images=10 random=yes size=M speed=8 title=no effect=boxRainReverse arrows=false control=true elastic=false]

Notice "6" in album parameter

rajdude · 2021-05-21 23:03:37

Thanks for the tip.

However, when I check, that parameter is not even there.
"[slider album=6 "

Maybe because I am using a different code for the carousel........this one>>>

yes, shortcode I mentioned above only applies to Extended Description plugin which in turn uses NivoSlider (https://themeisle.com/plugins/nivo-slider/ , https://github.com/Codeinwp/Nivo-Slider-jQuery)

one comment. Since phototheque is based on Bootstrap, one of the features of which is support for carousel
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/examples/carousel/
Site uses this default feature https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap4/bo … rousel.asp for front page

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but it is just me and my same old project :-)

Ok so first: I had to reinstall Piwigo so the URL of my website is now:
https://rajdude.com/photos
(Right now it is only in a testing state)

Goal:
I would like to get the look and feel of this website...
https://phototheque.univ-paris1.fr/
...but with a slight modification...
I would like the carousel to show photos only from the album called carousel, which can be seen here:
https://rajdude.com/photos/index.php?/category/3

Situation:
I have two carousels

1. https://rajdude.com/photos/index.php?/page/carousel
This one is based on Extended Description plugin

2. https://rajdude.com/photos/index.php?/page/bigcarousel
This one is based on this:
https://github.com/tkuther/piwigo-boots … ent-images

Question:
Is there a way to tell the second one to pick up photos from the album carousel?
