What to use to display photos with description in photo gallery?

Asked by Evas 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi.
I need guidance what to use for item photo gallery where each item would have information field about item in photo.

The task is this :

  1. Need to have at top of the page clicable photo slides with small information table that would be describing item on image.
  2. Below top slider would be another photo gallery grid, each photo would have description in feew words under the photo.
  3. When selecting photo it will open in new window where will be displayd selected item and will have detailed about item describtion with more photos.

I have found example on car sales website. Atacht are some pictures and live websites as example:

  1. https://www.autoscout24.de/
  2. https://diesel.is/

Screenshoots representing tasks 1,2,3.

Hi. For such tasks, you need to use some online store component or a catalog component and its modules.

Also, this can be done using standard Joomla articles with custom fields, blog layout, standard joomla modules. But this requires more skills than using ready-made store/catalog components.

The correct understanding and terms for things that you described are required.

For example, this is not a photo gallery with descriptions. This is a catalog with a preview of goods/items. The same as Joomla Category Blog with articles grid (intro images, intro texts). When clicking on a separate item, you go into a separate article.

If we consider this in the aspect of the standard features of Joomla...

All other things in your photos are not significantly and is only small, technical details.

For example, in photo 1 it can be simple HTML/CSS.

In photo 3 it can be Slick Slider

The main work is an understanding and construction of a catalog. And it requires skills.
