Compose tips

• Web page addresses and e-mail addresses turn into links automatically.
• Lines and paragraphs are automatically recognized. The <br /> line break, <p> paragraph and </p> close paragraph tags are inserted automatically. If paragraphs are not recognized simply add a couple blank lines.

• Gallery2 Filter:

  You can link to items in your embedded Gallery2 using a special code. This code will be replaced by a thumbnail image that is linked to the actual item in your Gallery.

  Syntax:

  [G2:item_id n=number type=type size=number class=name frame=name album_frame=name item_frame=name]

  • item_id (required): This is the item ID from Gallery2. If you look at the URL of the item, this is the last number. Note that if the item_id is a single photo, n must be 1.
  • n (suggested): This is the number of photos you want the block to show. It will override whatever is set in the defaults (initially 1). Note: this will change past instances where you did not set n -- the reason for its suggested use.
  • type: The default type of gallery block. Any of the following may be used: randomImage, recentImage, viewedImage, randomAlbum, recentAlbum, viewedAlbum, dailyImage, weeklyImage, monthlyImage, dailyAlbum, weeklyAlbum, monthlyAlbum, specificItem. Note that for n=1, selectedItem is automatically chosen regardless of this parameter.
  • class: The block that Gallery2 returns is wrapped in a DIV so additional styling can be done. The classes for this DIV are located in g2_filter.css. Included with the module are "left", "right", and "nowrap". These position the image block to the left or right or on a line all its own with the text not wrapping. You can also add your own class(es) to the CSS file and they will automatically be available.
  • size: The length of the longest side for the thumbnail. The other side is determined automatically to keep the same aspect ratio.
  • frame/album_frame/item_frame: You can use just "frame" to assign a frame to the thumbnail regardless of whether it's for an album or a single item. Using aframe will only affect albums and iframe will only affect single items. Frames included with the default Gallery 2 install are: bamboo, book, brand , dots, flicking, gold, gold2, polaroid, polaroids, shadow, shells, slide, solid, notebook, wood.
• You may create links to items stored in our weblink registry using a special syntax. The weblink codes will be replaced by a links to visit the real websites. Syntax: [weblink:node_id] (to use the first link for that node), [weblink:node_id/link_id] (to use a specific link for that node) or [weblink:http://a.weblink.example.com/] (to specify a raw URL).
