This functionality was suggested by Dominique Faure.
With the "Template trail" feature (with the parameter usetemplate=1), thumbnails will link to a wiki page containing the original pictures with some other formatting (done inside a Group/ImageTemplate page). Every "image trail" contains only the pictures from the thumblist/thumbgallery. Can it link to a trail from a different thumblist/thumbgallery?
I want to have single thumbnails, placed freely in the page, but linking to an image-template-trail, defined in the page, containing all of them. This is possible from version 85H.
Step 1: Define ("id=foo") a hidden thumbgallery containing the pictures
(:thumbgallery tlmode=-1 usetemplate=1 id=foo:) Bridge_declarer.jpg Canis_lupus_laying.jpg Citrus_fruits.jpg Columbia.sts-1.01.jpg (:thumbgalleryend:) |
This should be at the beginning of the page. It displays nothing with tlmode=-1. It needs usetemplate=1 in order to cache the list of pictures. It needs the id=some_unique_name parameter to identify the list. This unique name will be used later in thumbnails, with the parameter usetemplate=some_unique_name. (In the example, some_unique_name is "foo".)
Step 2: Place your thumbnails linking to the defined trail
(:thumb Bridge_declarer.jpg usetemplate=foo:) (:thumb Citrus_fruits.jpg usetemplate=foo:) |
