Text Picture Gallery  en

I use x5 also for a company that makes items for auction.

In this case i show items, using the picture gallery. I don't need to sell this, just show with a number so costumers can bid at the auction. ( so i don't need the store)

In v8 the text changed from v7 and now in V9 again. It looks like your not giving the text any thought. Please make it so that text is always visible. now you can have a gallery but if you don't go off the picture and the slide menu the text of your picture will not become visible !!

There should be an option or on some other way so that it always is visible, maybe even as watermark ? Preferable with a option to select your text on top or to the left or do this for text witch is always visible above or below the picture, but make it so that you can select to have it always in viewable  or not.

Hi Andre,

first of all, do you have a similar website to link so that I may see it and understand exactly what you are trying to do please?

What I think could be a good solution for you, if I have understood correctly what you are trying to do, is the gallery object:

  • Add the gallery object in your page and open it
  • choose the ''classic slideshow'' and remove the ''show control bar/show thumbnails in the control bar'' options
  • go into the ''list section and add you image
  • add on the bottom right hand side a description in the ''description'' field then test.

This method will give you the canche to have text on your image visible at all times.

Let me know what you think about it! Wink

Yes Samantha I know, but then selecting / choosing a picture is not possible anymore.

Here is a site i made where i would like to have this option wich is not possible anymore with V9! (but i have more sites where i would like this option! Just to tell a little more about the picture can be very important!)

A picture alone does not always tell the hole story !

I'm not fully satified with this site and the text in the pictures, but it will do (made with v8). in version 7 text with pictures was even better then v8, it looks like this option is graduatly becomming less important to Incomedia !

I realy would like the text to be always visible on top or below or in a seperate space or as in v9 your watermark option.

Actually it is! If you wish to add more pictures, you can do exactly the same thing I described before, but instead of selecting ''classic slideshow'' choose the ''horizontal slidewshow'' and you will have the same effect!

Samantha,

PLease listen to my arguments instead of giving option i already know.

The issue is -gain-, it's poor in V9 ! Why should i buy it ? If the new features are not usable ? Text option in v9 in the new features aren't always there, i need it to be !

you can't select the type of font colours or place you would like to have your text. The only usable option and not ideal is the same as in v8.

Please give more thought in developping using text ! Make it selectable, if you dont want it always visable then make an option for it.

Ok Andre, I understand. I start off by giving you the most obvious solutions not to offend you, but because sometimes they aren't considered at all.

I suggest you post an idea for our WebSite X5 creators, maybe they will consider it for a future update.

Thank you!
