{jmpgallery folder="<PATH TO FOLDER>"}
Example:
{jmpgallery folder="images/myphotos"}
----
To add single images, use the following structure:
{jmpgallery image="<PATH TO IMAGE|CUSTOM TITLE>"}
Example:
{jmpgallery image="images/01.jpg|Custom caption" image="images/02.jpg" image="images/03.jpg"}
----
The list of advanced parameters:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| allowfullscreen | 1 or 0 |
| autoplay | 1 or 0 |
| loop | 1 or 0 |
| nav | dots, thumbs or false |
| navposition | bottom or top |
| transition | slide, crossfade or dissolve |
| direction | ltr or rtl |
| arrows | true or false |
In order to use these advanced parameters, add it to the above structure.
Example:
{jmpgallery folder="images/myphotos" allowfullscreen="1" nav="thumbs} => Allow fullscreen and show image thumbnails.
{jmpgallery folder="images/myphotos" arrows="false"} => Hide arrow icons.
1. The "radio buttons" extra field doesn't transfer the values in the additional field, e.g., "yes" or "no," and only enters certain values into the #__fields_values database.
2. The "textarea" extra field with the "Use editor" option checked converts to "textarea" when it should be "editor."
3. In K2, the extra field group is assigned in the category. In Joomla Articles, the category is assigned in the extra field. It would be nice if this were automatically completed. A checkbox could be added if someone doesn't want this option.
