category link in an article

Hello,

I'm new to the Phoca Gallery, and I must say it's realy good.

But now I have a question concerning the Plugin Modul:

Is it possible to insert just a "link" to one of my existing categories so that the pictures of this category will shown after klicking on it?

I would like to create a table in an article with thumbnail links to just a few of the existing categories.

If this doesn't work, is there an other way? Perhaps in the galery component? There I can choose the menu item category list. But this shows all the existing categories

Thank's in advance
Andreas

Hi,

it is possible with the plugin:

see for all the parameters:
https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/index ... ery-plugin and
https://www.phoca.cz/phocagallery/demo/i ... ery-plugin

In your case the code would be:

Code: Select all

{phocagallery view=categories|categoryid=##}

Thanks for your help so far.

But this parameter shows all the pictures of the mentioned category.....

In my table only 1 pic should be shown as a link to the whole category.
And then if you click on the link, the catagory should be shown as it all.

Hi,

{phocagallery view=categories|categoryid=##}

this shows one random picture from your category (specified by ID) with the category name beside it
and when you click it, you see all thumbs in the category. That is what you want, isn't it?

I don't know how you can only display the thumb and no name - you can search the forum for that

On the demopage it'll look like the second demo (the only difference is that you specify the category you want to see, instead of the categories you want to hide)

Super :-)))

many thanks for this.

It is exact the way it should work.

Sorry that I didn't read your first answer correct.
In germany we say who is able to read, is clearly in advantage....
oder auf deutsch:
wer lesen kann ist klar im Vorteil

Thanks again
for your help
