Photo Image Presentation

On the Single-Image Pages, the exit icon (X) instead of returning to the previous page it goes to the gallery, unlike the Slideshow option which returns to the previous  page.

Is there a solution to this since I prefer the text layout in the Single - Image Page.

Thanks

Re: Photo Image Presentation

I just looked at your site. Clicking on the X takes me back to the thumbnail grid.

Re: Photo Image Presentation

Rod...What I want to do is to go back to this page http://davidbuddphotography.com/BLnewsite/prints/, rather than this
http://davidbuddphotography.com/BLnewsi … /index.php which happens if I use the Slideshow option

Re: Photo Image Presentation

Ok, I see what you mean.

Sorry, I don't know that the behavior can be changed. Matt will need to comment.

The only solution I can see is to use an album rather than an album inserted into a page.

Re: Photo Image Presentation

Another thing to try is inserting an album set with links to two Theater Single image albums.

In the album template, you can set Main Copy Location to be above the gallery.
For that text, create a link that goes back to your Prints page.

Use the image caption for any additional info you need under the image. Or, if you need to add even more info under the picture:

Here's a mock up: https://backlight-2-100.barbeephoto.com/prints

Re: Photo Image Presentation

I've just written a helper script in our working code to solve this. Ended up being a bit more complicated than I was originally thinking, but it should do the job.

  - if hitting a single-image page from the gallery, no change. The Back button will return to gallery.

  - if hitting a single-image page from a page-embedded gallery, Back button will return to the page.

  - if previous, and navigating to next or previous image, track the original referrer using a URL parameter. The Back button will return to the page.

  - if referrer is an outside address, the Back button will behave as a Close button, and will return to the gallery (i.e. clicking a link to image page on Facebook, the Back button will NOT return  the traveler to Facebook).

This should go out with the next update.

Re: Photo Image Presentation

Thanks Rod...decided to go with the Album which seems the more logical solution for the time being.

I see Matt has come up with a solution for the next update...thanks Matt.
