    How to set up Designit Gallery Package and make it work?

    Questions about runway and modules

    There is a brief introduction of Designit Gallery Package at http://umbgallery.codeplex.com/ ,  I tried many times but I am not able to run it . I wonder the detailed steps after the installation, Thank you very much!  And I have another question, you know, several document types locate in the system, then when I want to create page of runway template, there are only three available. meanwhile, creating a new item directly under Content, all the document types were displayed in the drop down list box, why?  how to do that? Thanks again!

    Hi Ethan - I'm not sure about the Gallery package problem - but if you want to change what content types can be created for under each document type - take a look at the document type in question > click on the structure tab and see the allowed child nodetypes. you'll probably see that only the 3 items that are showing are ticked...

    Hi Ethan

    This i what you do:

    1. Install Designit gallery package.

    2. Add Media picker to the Document Type where you want the gallery: Alias "Gallery"

    3. Add to the template

    <head runat="server">

    4. insert the following in the head:

    <script src="/scripts/Designit.Gallery/jquery.lightbox-05.pack.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/scripts/Designit.Gallery/jquery.lightbox-0.5.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
      $('#diGallery a').lightBox();
    });
    </script> 

    5. Insert this i contentplaceholder:

    <umbraco:Macro folderId="[#Gallery]" ThumbWidth="100" ThumbHeight="100" LightBoxWidth="600" LightBoxHeight="600" Alias="Designit.Gallery" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

     

    Best regards,
    Hundebol

    Just as a quick update:

    jquery.lightbox-05.pack.js nor jquery.lightbox-0.5.js are installed when you install the package. No documentation indicates that these are required.

    Further more:

    When I've set this up following the above instructions it doesn't render anything in the html after I've added the macro to the template.

    After spending two hours on this "easy to install" package, is there NO photo gallery package that works correctly out of the box?

    Hi Kevin,

    How did you install the package? From the repository or did you download the package from the project-section on this site?

    I actually attempted both. Is one method better than the other?
