CB Gallery alternative display

Hello

I was wondering whether it could be possible to have different displays for CB Gallery fields.

For instance for a field which only allow files, could we list the item in a table list ? or have smaller thumbnails ?

Also for Albums, could they be bigger than files or photos ?

Is it possible to have different templates for different gallery fields ? or does the thumbnail width condition the sizes of the display ?

Thanks for your explanations

There's no support for per-gallery template selection at this time. That's something planned for later with the CB 3.x rewrite of CB Gallery where you'd just be able to use Joomla layout overrides to override the view to look however you want.

The only way to do this now would be to override the gallery template entirely then add conditional logic to the templates PHP to output a different display. To do this add a new template folder to the below location.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates

Example as follows.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates/custom

Next copy from the below template folder the files you want to override.

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates/default

Example as follows.

FROM: /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates/default/gallery.php
TO: /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbgallery/templates/custom/gallery.php

Now in CB Gallery set your template to "custom" and begin editing gallery.php however you like.
