Create more then one gallery?

Hi Annie! Assuming you are calling the gallery using quotes-llama mode=’gallery’ you should be able to simply add another quotes-llama mode=’gallery’ where you would like the next gallery to appear. I have not thoroughly tested using multiple galleries so if you run into any problems or it doesn’t work for you do let me know. Thanks.

P.S. The gallery isn’t very customize-able at the moment. Do share what ideas you have regarding improving it.

I see what you mean. I may have a more difficult time than usual getting those to work this way. Had the same problem with widgets and was able to get those working but the gallery uses javascript to format the divs… basically I need to figure out how to pass dynamic class names to javascript. I will let you know what I am able to accomplish in the next few days. Thanks for the heads up!

For the time being have you considered or trying just a few of [quotes-llama]? It doesn’t refresh but it does pull a new and separate random selection for each instance.

Are the areas (3) where the quotes display on your site widgets? If so then you could add 3 instances of the quotes-llama widget instead of placing a short-code in each of the 3 widget areas. I hope that makes sense. I assume they would be named something like footer1, footer2, footer3 or something similar in your admin panel->appearance->widgets page.

The time a quote is displayed is determined by the length of the quote. The quote will display for a shorter or longer than normal time depending on the gallery speed setting. For example the fastest setting is (length/18), the slowest (length/6).

The timer minimum is useful when the quote is too short to get enough display time to be effective. If a quote will only display for 1 second because it is very short, this setting will force it to display for the minimum so it has time to be read.

The gallery is currently set to min-width: 400px; min-height: 600px;. That certainly seems an area that could have the css improved to accommodate more restricted sizes. It was mainly intended to be used in a larger area than a widget. Perhaps using a percentage on that would be better, although I think perhaps this is an area I’ve struggled with before. I’ll see what I can do with that.

As far as splitting a div into 3 separate sections, off the top of my head something like this might work: http://oooorgle.com/test
HTML/PHP:

<div id="uid-footer">
	<div class="uid-left-col">
		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
	</div>

	<div class="uid-center-col">
		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
	</div>

	<div class="uid-right-col">
		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
	</div>
</div>

CSS:

#uid-footer {
	
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0 auto;	
}

.uid-left-col,
.uid-center-col,
.uid-right-col {
    float: left;
    width:33%;
}

I’ll be getting back to you soon.

FYI, I’ve made some significant progress on this and have only a few bugs left to work out. Example here: http://oooorgle.com/test

I also reduced the sizing on the gallery to better adjust to smaller areas.

I was thinking since the gallery re-positions the quote as well as constricting the size, and being intended for large screens (like a screensaver), that perhaps it would better fit your request to not have it do either of those actions, but still refresh the quote. This would do away with a need to adjust the margin-bottom too.

So, I am adding another short-code [quotes-llama mode='auto'] that will auto-refresh the default [quote-llama].

Have a look at my test page to see an example comparing gallery and default vs. auto. Still working to get an update perhaps this weekend now. 🙂

Do you happen to know if you are using a Page-Caching plugin? It seems like it is reloading a cached page.
