I am rewriting my webpages and I want to use showbox to be able to select immage and have it point to other page
I have created a gallery and when selectd items show in showbox, I want to be able to click the image to goto the pages of a (catalogue) listing of PDF pages https://www.si-tech.com.hk/hi-flex.html
I can show the page with PDF files OK but this gives the user a small image I want to show the JPG images as show box as this immage is larger. can see sample page here.
If I can not use showbox do you have other solution

Hi Дмитрий Тулупов
Thanks for the suggestion. I gave this a try and it gives close to what I am looking to do.
The portfolio item fills the screen with each item created and the user would need to find what they want then can click one button to view, another to download.
I am looking to click on 1 item and a showbox style window to open showing the item selected, the user can then scan through the thumbnails < left or > right and select the image they want and this to take then to open / download the PDF file.
Thanks for the suggestion....
Hi there,
can you possibly share a link to an example of what you would like to achieve?
Also, here you can find a guide about this Object: https://guide.websitex5.com/en/support/solutions/articles/44002301220
Thanks! Kind regards.

Hi
Sorry there is no link I can show you as I dont see anything
What I have is several pages of single PDF documents and their corresponding JPG file
Sample here Here is an example https://www.si-tech.com.hk/hi-flex.html
I have setup one page using the PORTFOLIO object but this also give a screen full of icons which to click on.
I gave each item 2 button one to Display and another to Download, this works but still a lot of icons to look through
I would like to use something ike SHOWBOX item to display the images and the user can scroll back and too seeing a large image once finding the page they want they could click this image and the PDF file is opened for them to download or print
Hope this makes sence
Regards Bernard

Hi Elisa B.
What I am trying to do is /test-site/instrumental-1.html
But I want to use similar to SHOWBOX instead of the thumbnails as showbox has larger display, but it is not clickable

Hi Elsa
I had looked at this before but my issue is I have several pages of single page PDF files

Hello Bernard
I'm afraid that something exactly like this cannot be achieved with any default functionality of the software at the moment.
Any Object or function that opens a showbox won't allow you to click again on certain elements to redirect you elsewhere. To do something like this you would need to implement custom codes in the project to achieve the result, but the Staff cannot provide support for this kind of codes
Unfortunately, I am afraid that the support the official Staff can provide on this will be limited in this way
I remain available here in case you have other questions

Hi Stefano
Thanks for the feedback
Guess I have to get the coding book out see what I can come up with.

You could make a hidden page.
Then make that page without template.
On the page you then insert text and images as you do on normal X5 pages.
Then on the page where you want to have a link as entrance to the page, you specify the hidden-page as the target, and then the link to open in a showbox.
I have an example here: https://www.bramminginfo.dk/flugt-museum.html
Go to the bottom of the page to this link:
When the link is clicked a hidden page is shown. Go to the bottom of that page whre I have put 2 clickable images.
The left image will open the link on a new tab.
The right image will open the link in the same showbox. The links could be to a pdf-file.
So you could have a page with 9 clickable images - if one of the images is clicked then a pdf-file will open in the showbox.
Hope it is something like this you mean.
The test-images will be removed in a couple of days.
Just for information: I have now removed the clickable image links.

I fixed this by making the page with the gallery set without template
the gallery was set to only show 1 thumbnail and each thumbnail was made to open a PDF document in new window. This gives a full screen image that is scrollable..
