Close button for Google foto album

Can you please provide me with a URL so that I may understand what you are referring to? The lightbox mode and the overlaid panel both have options to close.

Thanks for getting back.

I cannot close Album 1 easily so if already opened it stays also if the user in suddenly only interested in the pics from Album 2

Kind regards

I am curious – your site’s visitor can still scroll down to the second album. Why do you see that as a problem?

In any case, what you have implemented is not typically how you should build out your galleries. Why not follow one of the standard approaches outlined here?

This is not really a problem, but when moving through several collections I want to easy open and close such collections, but after opening the first, scrolling is needed which is not fully userfriendly.
Thanks for supporting me with your standard options. I really appreciate this. I still have the gut feeling, that my idea fits better. But this is probaby more flavor then facts.
Kind regards

The second among the standard options is basically what you are trying to do. When you click on an album thumbnail, it launches the gallery corresponding to it, and you can close it out by clicking on the “x”.

There is no way to otherwise do what you want to do.

Alright. Thanks

do I have to add popup=show to all my places where I use this or can I change the standard in the settings?

There is a global setting under Photonic → Settings → Generic Options → Overlaid Popup Panel. The setting is called “Enable Interim Popup for Album Thumbnails”. You can control it globally from there, and override it in individual galleries.

no effect?

does IT Not Work with mosaic?

no effect?

You are using deferred loading – that is very different from Option 2. Option 2 will have your gallery shortcode looking like this:

[gallery type='google' view='albums']

Thanks for the direct feedback

but I am probably to stupid to understand

I use the Gutenberg block and no short code and it produces this code

<!– wp:photonic/gallery {“shortcode”:”{\u0022type\u0022:\u0022google\u0022,\u0022view\u0022:\u0022photos\u0022,\u0022album_id\u0022:\u0022GOOGLE ID\u0022,\u0022count\u0022:\u002210\u0022,\u0022more\u0022:\u0022More from 1\u0022,\u0022main_size\u0022:\u00221600\u0022,\u0022show_gallery\u0022:\u0022Album 1\u0022,\u0022layout\u0022:\u0022mosaic\u0022}”} /–>

so and I would love to leave the code (because I have hundreds) and just change a global setting. Is that possible?

When you build your Google gallery, the first screen asks you what you want to show. In the options you have picked “Photos from an Album Belonging to You”. Instead you need to pick “Multiple Albums”. You can then decide to show all albums or just a selection of albums.

You have to change all your galleries, which are currently displaying buttons – I cannot help you there. But as for the rest, the option I have provided will help display the photos for the album in a modal overlay.

thanks for the explanation. Now I got it
