How do I get other fields into the galleria display?

+1
The same issue.
I want to rotate two other fields in the slideshow but the module rotates only the images.

There is a new settings called "Strip images", by disabling it the module will leave untuched the markup of additional fields, then you can add rich HTML captions using the dataConfig option.

Could you provide an example on how to do this?

I´m trying to insert the alt text in my galleria images but with no success. I would appreciate any help in solving this problem.
Thanks.

@fmdpamaral: The display of ALT text should work out-of-the-box by disabling the Strip images option in the Galleria settings of the view. After that, if the image has an ALT text, you will see a clickable info icon in the Galleria.

Okay, here's the specific problem I'm struggling with.

First of all, I want Alt and Title to be appropriately filled out based on what screen readers and/or search engine crawlers want to see, not just a stop-gap solution where really, something else is needed.

With that said, I'm using Commerce. My products don't necessarily have links to the correct place stored within them, I generally have to create them by piecing together other fields. I want to be able to put a title with a customized link to the product that title describes anywhere in the page I think it should go.

However, I can only seem to get the template inside the module to do anything. Also, it's not clear how/where I should put custom data in order to formulate a link or custom text that might be different from the Title or Alt fields. I'm going to try, for now, the approach outlined halfway through here:
http://www.trellon.com/content/blog/making-galleria-feature
but I don't see it as a viable long-term solution. For one thing, I'll have to be on my game to remember to not let Drupal update override the template when I inevitably update to a new version of this module down the road. For another, I want full control over what users see as they flip through the gallery, not just a couple hacks.

Is there not a way to do this already? What about the dataConfig solution mentioned before, I've heard that actually doesn't work? Does anyone have an example of how to make that work? Where do you access it, the extend section under Advanced Options? How do you pull stuff out of views fields and get it into dataConfig?

Thanks!

sgabe,

Thanks for your reply.
I do get the info icon with the Alt Text but what I don't get is in the html img tag the alt attribute.
I just get «img style="xxx" src="xxx" width="xxx" height=""», is it possible to get also the alt="xxx"?

Thanks

@fmdpamaral: Though Galleria refactors the HTML code with its own stuff, but the original code contains the ALT attribute of course. However I don't know if it is possible to change the Galleria output in that way, you should try Galleria support.

@sgabe: Thanks for your help. I'll investigate and see if I can find a solution.

If anyone has a solution for alt text please post.

I to am trying to get a caption to show on a galleria slides at http://www.robinschone.com/news. I'm wondering if anyone tried what was suggested in #3? I checked the link but I'm not sure where to apply that type of coding.

You can add the below JavaScript function to the dataconfig textarea field, assuming your images have alt and title data (you'll need to enable those for your Image Field if you haven't done so and assign appropriate titles and alt data to your images). You might need to sanitize incoming data if you have untrusted users filling out alt/title tags on your site...

function(img){
       return {
            title: $(img).attr('title'),
            description: $(img).attr('alt')
        }
  }

If you want to include other data elements, such as additional fields that are part of the view, you'll need to disable the Strip Images checkbox under Advanced Settings. You can then add additional data to the function above by using jQuery to traverse and include it.

Hope this helps...

Hope this helps someone out there...

@neardark can you please give a short example code of how to include a views field... suppose i have the node path field... how can I display it by thus function...

Yes, a node path or a link to the node would be excellent. How would this be added to the javascript above?

To get around this with Views Slideshow: Galleria, when I was pulling in multiple images from one fields from one node, I ended up doing the following (with the help of dpm()):

• Created a tpl file (views-view--yourViewName.tpl.php) and rescanning the template files,
• Used $view->result[0]->node_title for the title, and
• Used $view->result[0]->_field_data['nid']['entity']->body['und'][0]['safe_value'] for the body.

Since only $rows is used (and perhaps $empty?), I deleted the rest of the tpl php code and added an if isset() to make sure they were full before displaying them.

This is hardly ideal and won't work for pulling in info for EACH image, but it at least does get you static info for the entire slideshow. (Maybe that entity info would work for all of them, but I didn't need to do that.)

What is the "Dataconfig textarea field" and where can we find it (#12)?
Edit: aha, found it. It's in the Advanced Settings of the Galleria format.

I think it's been pushed to the dev version, since the little black box with the "i" appears now. I guess that's what this issue is all about.

My goal however, is to get the alt-attribute into the img-tag, likt this: <img src="images/path" ALT="This is an image">

(Should I create a new issue for this, or is the solution within the vicinity of this issue?)

I have the same issue and not found a solution for this.
Anyone with ideas?

I have looked for that "Strip images" option but with no luck either. I have no idea where that is and I think I have been into each and every option in the view settings and still I have not found it. Am I blind or maybe someone would be so kind to guide me to the place where I can change this setting.

Views Rewrite Option

Problem:
When using the Media module, Alt and Title attributes are not added by default to an img tag (that I've seen).

Quick Solution (no php code or templating):
1. Install/Enable Image URL Formatter - This provides easy access to the image URL/URI
2. Create a view with a field using your image field or multimedia asset field.
3. Configure your view field Formatter to be set to Image URL: Relative file path
4. Dropdown Rewrite Results check Rewrite the output of this field
5. Add to Text area: <img src="/[field_image]" title="[field_image-title]" alt="[field_image-alt]" />
5a. Check replacement patterns for additional tokens

This method is versatile because you can use any Replacement Patters (tokens) from other fields in your attributes. Consider creating a caption title and caption description field for example.

I wrote this up real quick to try to fix the issue and made a pull request.

I am using Galleria with Scald in my scenario, but the Galleria library is the same. Hope it gets pulled in! :-)
