Hello

I would like to do two things in Joomla:

1. Make a box (called modul in Joomla) with random pic. I have done it by the imageblock.External, but i would like to make it open the custom sized picture in the center area when i click on the thumbnail, not in the small random pic box.

2. Make a Joomla-box contains the theme's sidebar, as it would a menu in Joomla. Maybe it is possible to split the theme into two parts, but how would they communicate with each other, if they are in two Wrapper. Or....

I use JFusion to integrate the Gallery to Joomla.

Am i understandable? Can you help me?

@random: I would use the http://www.flashyourweb.com/staticpages/index.php?page=mediaBlock and set the proper parameters.
@Joomla: perhaps another will assist or you can look through: http://gallery.menalto.com/forum/92

This mediaBlock do the same: it opens the Gallery in the small box when i click on a thumbnail.
What should i set to LinkTarget? Can it do more than "_blank" ?

You can target iframes on the same page with a simple target.
But you seem to be looking for more of an ajax type experience.

Is it possible to use minislideshow as recursive? A would like to feed the pics from an album's seven sub-albums.

Yes. I don't like to recommend that one as it adds a possibly large footprint to your page.
xmlUrl=http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/mediaRss.php?g2_itemId=32%26recursive=true&shuffle=true&showDropShadow=true...
the above would load all items from the album with an id of 32 recursively which could be 1000's of images. Let's not force our visitors to load 1000's of images please ;)

The better method is to utilize the dynamic albums module which is also recursive but can limit the number of images returned by setting that number in
gallery admin -> dynamic albums. I set mine to 24, and certainly no more then 40:

http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=dynamicalbum.UpdatesAlbum%26albumId=32

http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum%26albumId=32

http://www.yoursite.com/gallery2/mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=dynamicalbum.PopularAlbum%26albumId=32

use my simple embed tool http://www.flashyourweb.com/staticpages/index.php?page=embed-o-rator

Are you adding the albumId?
%26albumId=32 <- %26 keeps flash from separating the variables in the url.

Otherwise I'd need a sample url to diagnose.

%26shuffle=true%26delay=4%26transInType=Fade%26transOutType=Random%26showTitle=bottom%26titleColor=888888%26titleBgColor=FFFFFF%26preload=2 these variables are not part of the xmlUrl so they would be separated by &

Oops my bad, the albumId should be g2_albumId I had switched back to using GalleryUtilities

mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum%26g2_albumId=6773&shuffle=true&delay=4&transInType=Fade&transOutType=Random&showTitle=bottom&titleColor=888888&titleBgColor=FFFFFF&preload=2"

You've reverted back to using a poorly formed xmlUrl
/mediaRss.php?mode=dynamic%26g2_view=dynamicalbum.RandomAlbum%26g2_albumId=6773%26shuffle=true%26delay=4%26transInType=Fade%26transOutType=Random%26showTitle=bottom%26titleColor=888888%26titleBgColor=FFFFFF%26preload=1

you have polluted your mediaRss.php
there are extra characters being displayed at the beginning of your output.

Quote:

itt vagyok<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">

either find and remove these extra characters or start with a fresh copy.
