Hello
Showtime image gallery

1. How do I change the font / degree on the image title.
I don't like the title being displayed in bold. See the web link below

2. Another question:
When I create a gallery in showtime, a name for the gallery is automatically created, e.g. 67756e37ba037. This is associated with the current article.
But where can I see which article is associated with which gallery in the Showtime backend gallery. There is nothing here that reflects which article is meant.

Kind regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank you for reaching out!

Regarding your questions:

1. Changing the font style of the image title
The title is displayed using an <h3> heading tag, which inherits styles from your Joomla template. You have two options to modify its appearance:

  • Using CSS: You can customize the font style, weight, and size by adding custom CSS to your template. If you provide an example of how you’d like it to look, I can write the CSS for you.
  • Using the description field instead: If you prefer more control over the text styling, you can hide the title and use the description field, which allows rich text formatting via an editor.

2. Gallery name and article association

When a gallery is created, a random string (e.g., 67756e37ba037) is assigned as its name if the article title isn’t available at the time of creation. To make it easier to identify galleries:

  • If you’re using the editor button to create galleries, I recommend enabling the title field in the component options. Navigate to: Components → Showtime Image Gallery → Options, then set “Title Field in Editor Modal” to “Show”. This allows you to manually set a meaningful name.
  • If you’re using Showtime as a custom field, the gallery title is automatically set based on the article title.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Best regards

Hi Michael,

Just wanted to share an update with you—we’ll be improving the component so that automatic title population will also work for galleries inserted using the editor button. This should make it easier to keep track of galleries without needing to manually set titles.

Let me know if you have any other questions or feedback!

Best regards

Thanks,
I think I got the answer to question 1 :-)

Regarding gallery creation, I always create my gallery directly in the article via the editor button in JCE.
I am not interested in creating a name for the gallery, as I do not find it meaningful since I have several 100 articles with galleries.
In that case, I would have had to note the article ID in the name myself.
The only interesting thing is that it shows which article is associated with which gallery.

You are of course welcome to share an update with me

Regards
Michael

Hi Michael,

Glad to hear you got the answer to your first question!

Regarding the gallery association, I completely understand your need. Instead of manually naming galleries, having a way to easily see which article they belong to would be much more useful. We’ve taken this into account, and in the next update, automatic title population will work for galleries inserted via the editor button as well.

Thanks again for your feedback—it really helps us improve Showtime Image Gallery!

Best regards
