    Dear Sayontan,

    Please forgive me if I’m not providing the right information for you to help me. I’m using Protonic plugin in WordPress and the albums are taken from my Flickr account.

    What I want to do is simply viewing each album in an overlay, showing all of that albums photos in an overlay before clicking on the photo we want to view in a lightbox. Referring to this setting: “Enable Interim Popup for Album Thumbnails”. So to clarify, I firstly want to see all my albums on the “photography” page of my website, then when clicking an album I want to be able to see all photos in some sort of grid overview so we can pick whatever we want to view in bigger size or full screen (this is the last step).

    It seems that none of the settings actually does anything in my gallery which is why I suspect there’s a bug or something colliding somewhere. I am not using any plugins that has anything to do this photos or galleries.

    Thank you so much for your assistance!

    I am adding some information. I tried enabling and also disabling this setting which seems like it could matter but it also doesn’t do anything:

    “Photonic Lightbox for non-Photonic Image” under general settings.

    Many of Photonic’s settings can be controlled globally, but overridden by individual galleries. In your case, while you have set the global option, it looks like your individual gallery is set to bypass the popup. To rectify this, on the Gallery Wizard, in the screen that says “Configure Your Layout”, you will see an option that says “Show photos in an overlaid popup panel upon clicking on an album / photoset / gallery”. You can set it to show the popup.

    Alternatively, if you can view the shortcode, you will see an attribute popup="hide". Simply delete that, or set it to popup="show".

    First of, let me share with you my appreciation and admiration for your dedication to responding to our posts here, and in such a swift manner. Thank you from my deepest sincerity.

    I’ve done as you said and it really works. It’s really starting to look like what I had in mind. Everything is perfect now, except, somehow I have an issue with the overlay showing half of the thumbnail picture after having clicked into the album to see the overlay grid. If I can choose, I want to only show the photos in a grid, nice and minimalistic like it looked before. No need to show the thumbnail photo after having opened the album (grid overlay).

    The other issue I got after changing the settings was that on PC, both with my small laptop screen and with a 24″ monitor, the top part above the overlay grid is so high up that the “X” to go out of the album isn’t there. On my phone it’s there but unfortunately over the 3 menu bars of my website hehe.

    Do you have a solution for these two obstacles? I can’t seem to find the way. Sorry for the troubles.

    Best,

    I am actually seeing the full thumbnail. However, I think you can remove the thumbnail by selecting the appropriate options from Photonic Settings Flickr Photoset / Album Headers (Standalone Photosets / Albums). There are options to hide the thumbnail, the title and the number of photos. This should work, but I had coded this several years back, so I am not sure if it still works as designed.

    You can fix this with a little bit of Custom CSS (in your WP dashboard, Appearance Customize Additional CSS):

    .photonicModalOverlay {
        z-index: 100;
    }

    Thanks to your last suggestion I managed to solve the “X” colliding with the menu bar on my mobile.

    About the other issue. Could you please try to go into one of the albums (gallery of one of the countries). The only setting I could find that kinda does the job (after trying what seems to be everything) is adding a gallery border at the top, in the “overlaid popup panel” page. Look closely at the borders around the gallery, the bottom side has round edges but at the top (even before adding 40 px border) it is going way above what we can see. That’s why the “X” is gone from the top right to exit the view. There is no way to go out of a gallery unless I refresh the page.

    Without adding the 40 px border at the top, the album thumbnail photo as well as the “country name text” and number of photos in album is going so far up that I can’t even see it anymore. The setting you mentioned isn’t for this issue, maybe because you thought I was referring to the thumbnails in the “main menu” where we can see all the albums.

    I am actually not seeing any issue. In fact, with the CSS code I gave you, the “X” is neatly visible on a PC, and even without a 40px margin, I am able to see everything quite well.

    Is it possible that you are seeing something since you are a logged-in user? What happens if you open the link in Chrome in Incognito mode, or if you visit the site when are not logged into a particular browser? If you are still seeing the issue, can you provide me with a screenshot of what you are seeing?

    You know what, you’re totally right. I thought I couldn’t see the “X” while I was logged out in a different browser, but it looks perfectly fine now. That’s what matters, not what I can see while logged in.

    May I ask if you know the setting for removing the top part altogether? It’s not really so important but it ads to the clean minimalistic design if I can remove the thumbnail at the top of each album in the overlay view. It’s not hugely important though as it looks pretty good right now.

    Best,

    There seems to be a bug in the behaviour. Basically, do this: under Photonic Settings Generic Options Overlaid Popup Panel Enable Interim Popup for Album Thumbnails, set it to “No overlay”, but keep the overlay option on in the individual gallery. That seems to remove the header.

    I will fix this bug. The settings that I mentioned previously (under Photonic  Settings  Flickr  Photoset / Album Headers (Standalone Photosets / Albums)) will take effect after I have fixed the bug.

    Hey Sayontan,

    You have just solved all of my issues and I just want to thank you for the amazing support you’ve given me. I know I’m a perfectionist but you have helped me in such a good way. Thank you!
