[Pro] Thumbnail type gallery with the images file names

Sadly it seems this is not possible with Exhibeo (unless I want to manually type in all the names as captions) so does anyone know a simple (ie cheap) gallery that can show file names. I have several hundred images of rings (jewellery) I can number them in Lightroom and then the ‘client’ will be able to tell the jeweller which ring she likes … hope I’ve explained myself.

Many thanks Roger

Hi Roger,
You can keep using Exhibeo and the Thumblie theme by adding a small block of JavaScript to extend the gallery to do what you need.

For example;
http://www.freewayactions.com/test/thumblie-file-ref/

The file references should be added to both the image title (tooltip) as well as the caption.

Simply copy and paste the following code into your Freeway pages that contain a gallery using Page > HTML Markup > Before ;

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
    jQuery(".xb-thumblie_thumbs").find('a').each(function() {
    	var path = jQuery(this).attr('href');
    	var img = jQuery(this).find('img');
    	var file = path.slice(path.lastIndexOf("/")+1); //path.lastIndexOf(".")
    	var title = img.attr('title');
    	img.attr('title', title + " (" + file + ")");
    });
    
});
//]]></script>

Regards,
Tim.

OK Tim … maybe you should treat me like a total fool and explain a little what:

“The file references should be added to both the image title (tooltip) as well as the caption.”

… as just pasting the code’s not doing it on it’s own … sorry to be a pain.

Hi Roger,
Send me a URL of your gallery online and I’ll see if the code needs adjusting to suit your page. Are you still using the Thumblie theme?

What I meant was that the file reference gets added to both the thumbnail tooltip;

and main image captions;

There’s also some Free Gallery Scripts available in your hosting package to experiment with :slight_smile:

What about manually Copy/Pasting?

It’s simpler than you may think. Don’t worry about selecting the text of the file name, simply select the file in the Finder, cmnd-c copy, switch to Exhibeo (with the edit captions already initiated) and cmnd-v paste. This will paste the file name into the description or title field (whichever you choose).

This is less typing… as it is not really typing at all. Probably not as good as setting up your items in a database and scripting them into your site, but less complicated. What I think, anyway.

Thanks as well Mr Erns … an possible alternative. I’m also checking out the web gallery in Lightroom …
