How does the group photo 'module' work?

Hi,

Would someone please give me a brief explanation on how the photo module or block in group works?

Does it calls a page to display the pictures? What else does it calls?

Have been pulling my hair o figure it out but han han

Thanks a lot

Basically lets you share photos with the rest of the group (like a photo album). See: http://demo.boonex.com/m/groups/view/Lane-Cove-Sustainability-Action-Group

Or do you mean "work" in a developer sense?

in a developer sense please

I'm afraid I can't explain the exact workings of it from a developer standpoint. Somebody like deano92964 should know (hopefully they or somebody else will drop into this thread).

What exactly do you want to know about it?  The code is open for view.

Hi geek_girl

I am trying to understand how are the photos displayed:

If i go to modules/boonex/groups/templates/base for example; which one of those files is pulled to display the photos? - if any-
 

To make it more clear: when a user opens the View group (site.com/m/groups/view/groupname), it calls a certain page to make possible to display the photos , correct? Which one are those pages or template?

What I want is to modify the way photos are shown by playing with its source.

How much do you know about Dolphin code?  The group photo block is called by a service function:

return BxDolService::call('gphotos', 'index_page_feature', array());

You will need to do a search in the classes for the service function; look for serviceIndexPageFeature

You're looking in the wrong place.  It's an image gallery function that is used in other places besides groups.... like events.

Have a look at /templates/base/gallery_images.html  It's the template file for the gallery image block wherever gallery images appear

How about a more direct approach.....  just say what you want to accomplish.

yes, my intention is to apply a jquery based slider and change the aspect of it overall. And also to have the same size always (I mean the frame, the pictures inside can change)

Any tips please

 RE:

 Yeah.... have a look at /inc/js/jquery.dolGalleryImages.js

Other files to peruse:

BxDolTwigPageView.php   (genGalleryImages)

gallery_images.html

page_71.html

gallery_images.css

BxBaseFunctions.php (function genGalleryImages)

That should keep you amused for a while.

 Much appreciated

Thanks!

I have changed my photo blocks like this on my view pages. see attachment.
when you click photo or show all it comes with a fancybox showing the photo.

It takes a lil coding but it's pretty simple if you know what you are doing.

 ok, can you share the stuff
