Show all images on Gallery Tab

[nrep]

I've made some tweaks to enable user to insert images in to the main showcase item text, which is great for showing important images. However when this is used it means that any inline attachments are no longer shown in the gallery tab.

Is there a way around this so that all attachments appear in the gallery tab?

I took a look at nflj_showcase_item_image_gallery, but from what I can see it looks like it tries to use all images available in the $item.attachments loop?

This is core XF behavior and would require CODE (not template) modification.

Yep, I spent all day trying to figure this one out and it looks like I need to modify XF core files :

Is there anything I can change in the showcase code to prevent the "unset" of the attachments or to use an alternate helper?

Well, one thing you could try (requires code modification AND template modification.

In the showcase controller (actionView), clone the attachments array and send that clone in as its own viewParam.. ie add the below to the $viewParams for the actionView of the showcase controller

'galleryAttachments' => $item['attachments']

Then modify the gallery template to use $galleryAttachments instead of $item.attachments

Thanks Bob, I'll give that a try today .

 

[nrep]

Woohoo . Thank you Bob! That works a treat .

Is this something that you'd consider adding as an option for the showcase gallery options page given that it's a minor tweak? I know that I should ideally create a suggestions thread, but as you've already solved the problem I thought I'd suggest it here.

Thanks again, you really support your products well.

Awesome I need to make some tweaks related to attachments anyway, so when I do, I'll look into it.

Thank you so much! I'll keep the hard coded changes in place on the site for now, then hopefully in the next version I can just tick a box . Do you think there's a chance it may make it to the next release?

 

[Bob]

Do you think there's a chance it may make it to the next release?

No, the next release(s) are featured locked already.

 

[nrep]

OK, I'll keep my eyes peeled for it in future releases. Thanks for letting me know .

Tried to search for more info on this, is it an option now? If not, might the above instructions still work?

You can do what I mentioned. There is nothing built in to handle it (its doing what its supposed to be doing as designed by core XF).
