I am starting to work on a photographers website.
There will be (client's request/demand) several collages of photos, which need to be linked (link can be outside of Joomla) to the full sized image.
Is there a way to do this?
(in ms frontpage, I can do this using hotspots, but customer really wants this in joomla)
Thanks

Re: Link photo collage to individual photos
this most easily accomplished via a gallery component, such as gallery2, which you can find at the extensions site, http://extensions.joomla.org
you can always code it via html:
good luck!

Re: Link photo collage to individual photos
I still am not finding a way to upload a collage image then link each pic to the full-sized image.
the collage will be already made using many images that need to be linked to bigger image.
i am looking for a bot/mod/componant that does that.
i have looked at serveral addins, but have not found what i am looking for.
any help? thanks

Re: Link photo collage to individual photos
I read up on using Image Maps in Joomla, and they don't seem to play too well
The easiest way is to create the object as you will and then use the wrapper component to link to that page - still gives it an "inside" Joomla look without being inside Joomla.
The other thing I can think of, though this is a lot of work, is to use JCE editor with Advanced Image Manager plugin. Create a table where each cell is a fixed size, embed a picture into each cell with a fixed size thumbnail, and set the pop-up option to show the full photo. Might be laborious to do, but it should work...?
Hope these ideas at least get you thinking,
Gareth

Re: Link photo collage to individual photos
This is cute...
http://www.malevole.com/ (no association, I simply think it's cute)
There are a couple of 'float' modules knocking about, I wonder...
You could always 'slice' it into a table

Re: Link photo collage to individual photos
Have you found an easy way to do this?
I was playing around with Shape Collage (http://www.shapecollage.com/online/) for this page:
http://www.downtownmilton.com/photo-gal ... hotos.html
but it doesn't give you any control over how the images are laid out or even really how many are in the collage... If nothing else I need it to be bigger than this with more images.
I really like the idea. Can anyone help?
