Lightbox slideshow without thumbnails

Hi.
I've looked at a few suggested solutions for this but can't make any of them work.
I want a multi image lightbox slideshow, but launched when clicking on a block, not a specific image.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for posting.
It's not exactly what i'm after (probably didnt explain myself very well).
I want to launch a lightbox slideshow from a single trigger. Currently i can only see that for every image you show on a lightbox slideshow, there is also an associated thumbnail.
It's the lightbox related thumbnails i dont want to see.
The only way i can see it working is to stack the images on top of one another and then turn the opacity to zero.
Surely there is an easier way?
I've attached a quick scamp of what i'm trying to do.
Thanks

Can I link an image to a slideshow without thumbnails?

At the moment, I have buttons on a main page that link to seperate pages with the thumbnails/slideshow for that project. I think my portfolio viewers would be happier if the buttons opened the slideshow on that main page so when they closed the slideshow they could easily click on another project slideshow.
I feel like there should be a simple way to do this but haven't found anything in the forum.
please help

Take a Composition:Lightbox Display widget that has one trigger container and one target container and put a slideshow widget into the Lightbox Display's target container.

Lightbox Slideshow adjust spacing between thumbnails

Hi
This is actually a two part question -
1. I want to give a collage look to my slideshow, without any spacing between thumbnails. How can I remove all the space between thumbnails.
2. For all the thumbnails I want -"Fit the frame proportionally" and for all the big lightbox images I want "Fit Content proportionally" so that vertical and horizontal images are not cropped in the Lightbox view. How can I do that for all the images together rather than going one by one.
Thanks in advance.

Hi MP,
For your 1st request, the Thumbnails (containers that hold the thumb images) cannot be resized individually and maintain same dimensions for all the thumbnails. For this reason, even though you can remove all spacing between Thumbnails by selecting the Thumbnail Container and specifying H and V Gutter in the Spacing Panel to 0 -- if your slideshow images are of mismatched dimensions and proportions and you have Fit Content Proportionally selected as the Fitting option, then there will be an inevitable space around the thumb images either vertically or horizontally. You can work around that by using the Fill Frame Proportionally option.
For your 2nd request. you can choose the appropriate option in the Flyout menu for "New Hero" and "New Thumbnail" options BEFORE adding the new images to the slideshow. The selection you make here will be applicable for images that you add after setting this option. So the appropriate workflow would be to setup your slideshow the way you want, then choose the appropriate option for New Hero and New Thumbnail and then add all your images to the slideshow.
If you want fine grained control over thumbnail and images, you may look at Composition Widgets which allow you to manually place and size all content individually and still allow you to use the composition as a slideshow upon publishing.
Thanks,
Vikas

100% width thumbnail container in lightbox slideshow?

Is there a way to make the thumbnail container 100% width in a lightbox slideshow?
Basically I want a strip of 4-5 photos to span 100% of the width of the screen, then the user can click on an individual photo to bring up the larger version.
I have it set up working the way I want except I can't make the thumbnail container 100% width.

You can try this option :

Lightbox slideshow opens by itself after closing

I have lightbox slideshows on a page and after I open them by clicking on a thmbnail and then close them they start opening again on their own without me clicking on a thumbnail. This started happening after the latest update. Is this a bug?

Hi Gary,
I checked your file and it seems that this is happening when the lightbox is closed using the close button and you have 'Resume After' checked. This is replicate-able on a new site as well.
At this point, I have reported this to the engineering team. In the mean time as a work around remove the close button as clicking outside the target closes the lightbox anyways.

Muse Lightbox slideshow: Hero images are undersize & cropped, can't select to change them

Mac, Mavericks, & Muse: First website: Building Lightbox slideshow. When a thumbnail is clicked in Preview mode, Hero image is undersized and cropped (placed jpgs are max 600 pixels x smaller). Back in Design mode, I can't select the Hero to resize it. Both thumbnails and Hero images are set to Fit Content Proportionally.
Any help greatly appreciated!, Thanks!

I've had a similar-ish issue to you, minus cropping. Two key things:
1) To edit the position or size of the hero image double-click it
2) If the original image is smaller or larger or differently sized than the target Hero frame this (above) will happen. What I did was to
scale the frame for the Hero image to the intended area, then get the dimensions of that area using a rectangle. Copy the vaues to make a new Photoshop document and
manually import the images individually and save the resulting JPEGs which will have the additional space around the image to fill it for the Hero (ideally scale the image to fill the target space by losing any necessary empty space).
Essentially the original images you're using must be the same as the resulting frame which is no good if they're all different sizes. Yeah, it's a pain.
Hope this helps. Look at my website homepage as an example: http://www.goodwinsanimations.com/

Deleting multiple images at once in Mues's Lightbox slideshow

I frequently need to delete 70 or 80 images from Muse's Lightbox slideshow before adding new images. Because you have to leave at least one image (at least that's my understanding) before adding new ones, I have to delete them one at a time. It's a real pain. It would be nice to be able to shift click or control click on the images I want to delete so I can do it in one move instead of eighty. Can this function be added or is there a work around or something I'm missing that would let me do this? I've tried selecting one, then clicking on 'select same' but there is no way to exclude one image so that I can leave one image behind.

Zak... Selecting one thumbnail > Select all > Delete worked just as you said; it leaves one image behind. I never would have tried that method because logically I would have thought that it would delete all the images since I chose 'Select all'. Thanks for the quick response and saving me a lot of work... Bill

Launch lightbox slideshow by clicking on pic or text?

Hi guys,
Last question for tonight, it's the big one: how can I configure something so that upon click, it'll launch a lightbox image or slideshow?
For example:
- If I have a pic in a text box that is essentially acting as a thumbnail, and I have in text, "Click below to embigify!" so clicking on the pic launches a larger version in a lightbox. Possibly not a larger version of the thumbnail, as on the lightbox verison I may have it cropped differently, etc. So, I want to be able to configure them both independently, one will launch the other.
- Same goes for if clicking on a pic would lauch a lightbox slideshow. ("Click pic to launch slideshow!") Maybe the pic they're clicking is just a graphic icon or something, and not actually something that'll appear in the slideshow. Click the icon to launch.
- Same goes for some selected text, clicking would launch lightbox pic or slideshow.
Really hope this is a achievable in Muse. Thanks yet again!

Abhishek, I have done this very thing, but my lightbox slideshows don't start on image 1. They start on random images each time they are opened. Here is the thread (I show the settings of the composition and the slideshow itself): How do I get a lightbox slideshow to start on the first image in Muse?
and here is my test site: Portfolio
Is this a bug, or pray tell, do you have a solution?
Also, this configuration is not working on the bottom row of trigger squares on the iPad. When you touch a box, you should see the words on the square (the rollver state of the trigger) . It quickly shows, then disappears and then the square of words in the row above highlights instead. And there is no way to open the bottom row of slideshows. It works fine on the desktop. I was trying to avoid creating a separate tablet configuration, but I don't even know what I would do differently.
But any help with the FIRST problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

Image transforms in lightbox slideshow not holding

I have a slideshow with thumbnails on my Muse CC webpage. But the pix withing the lightbox are too small so I transform them to 600 x 400 px. If I move or transform anything else on the same lightbox page, the photo falls back to its original size. Also, is there a way to select all photos within the lightbox (not the thumbnails) and transform their size all at once?
TIA,
John

I have this problem too! The photos keep resizing back to the original. I've watched all of the tutorials and it looks like I'm resizing them correctly. Any help out there??

Trying to add a lightbox slideshow caption link to a url hosed my site.

In the lightbox slideshow caption I tried to add an html link to the url of the image and now the all the slide show are hosed. It didn't link from the caption text but was embedded into the sllde show so that all the thumbnails linked to the same url.I even created a new slideshow from scratch and it still linked to the url. Do I have to rebuild the whole site? How and where do look to find the hyperlink to remove it?

Please try to select the caption and remove the link from hyperlink dropdown in top bar menu in Muse.
If this is not the case , post screenshots from design view.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How can I initiate a lightbox slideshow from a text hyperlink?

I would like to initiate a lightbox slideshow from a text hyperlink, rather than using the thumbnail triggers. Can this be done and if so, how?

i don't think so, but why would you need to be that spesific? and why not have the trigger beneath the text itself?

Lightbox Slideshows in Muse-.

Hello People,
I am trying to create the 'work' section of my website in Muse. (which up until this point has been great!)
I have created a range of rollover images for the different projects starting out black & white and turning colour on rollover.
What i then want to happen is once you have clicked on a project a lightbox slideshow showing all the work for that project will appear. When the user is done they click off the slideshow, click on the next project and its own lightbox slideshow for that project appears….
Basically, I guess my question is: Can a rollover image hide/activate a lightbox slideshow and if it can HOW!? I've been unsuccessful in my search so far so any help will be awesome. Whether it is through the widgets or i need some kind of javascript code to embed - any help will do at this point!
Thanks!!

Hi
Lightbox composition would require mouse click action for hide/activate , we cannot setup rollover mouse action for activating lightbox slideshow.
You may try to customize , I will keep this open for others who might help with customization.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Slideshow without .Mac

Is there any way I can make a slideshow without using .Mac?
I need to have my own domain name, and .Mac doesn't allow that, so it isn't an option. However, I also would like to have some pictures in a slideshow.
Thanks!

You get a slideshow with the photo page template either way, its just a different slideshow format.
Here are some alternatives for non-.Mac:

Captions in Lightbox Slideshow Widget

The metadata in my files have both a Title and a Caption, yet when i Add Images to the Lightbox Slideshow Widget, I am stuck with Lorem Ipsum on every photo. Do I have to add the Captions manually for every image?!

Can someone at Adobe please confirm that there is no reading of the image metadata. I thought it was limiting that it was only the caption field available. I am stunned if this is the case that no metadata is being read. I am working on a photo web site and got to the point of importing photos with the 'captions' checked. Huge surprise. It is hard to believe that something as fundamental as basic metadata fields (caption, title, filename, copyright) isn't pulled with the image and available as needed. C'mon, you are the company that has Photoshop and Lightroom. Do you guys talk to the other teams?
I was looking at Muse galleries as an alternative to the LR web module for 2 reasons: one is flexibility in layout, and the other is speed, since the LR gallery export cranks along at a glacial pace to the point of being almost unusable. And this is the LR4 upgrade; much slower than LR3. See the LR threads on this if you're interested. Still waiting for that fix.
The thought of manually entering caption info to a dozen galleries, each with 20 or 30 images, is nonsense. This makes Muse a non-starter for photo galleries. This is basic capability. Adobe should be embarrassed that LR4 doesn't do what it should in this regard, and that the feature needed don't even exist in Muse. Everyone expects a few bugs in the early days of a new software, but not missing essential, fundamental features to make web galleries useful.
Rant now over and I will happily apologize if the metada fields are, indeed, available. Please explain how. Thanks.
