Hi all
Got etoGal working fine, but I would like it to display in a similar way to mikes site

as in the gallery page has a few samples from each gallery on it and each gallery displays the thumbnails and one big picture, and no matter what picture I click on there will still be thumbnails displayed as well the selected big picture(is that possible)

I am not 100% sure which snippet to use I read the post here and got slightly thrown by this bit

Quote

EtoGalGallery is the latest addition, and extends EtoGalThumb

does this mean that I should just use EtoGal Gallery rather than Eto Thumb?

Its not really a big problem as with just etoGal the site does 99% of what i want,

Cheers

Firstly, you need Etogal whichever of the other snippets you use.

EtoGalThumb ony gives you a selection of thumbnails styled as you want (but all styled the same), and linking to something else.

EtoGalGallery gives you a set of thumbnails, with all the flexibility of EtoGalThumb, plus one full size image, offering two style variants for the large image.

If you're trying to duplicate the look of the individual galleries at Efikim infrared gallery (for example) you want EtoGalGallery.

There are examples on my test site at etogal test site which show what results you get from a specific snippet call with the associated style coding - these will eventually be moved to a new http://www.efikim.f2s.com .


Hope that helps!
