Attachment Screen.jpg (241.2 KB)
Hello,
I don't use metadatas display (iptc/exif, etc) and they are not ticked in settings of PhotoBlogger.
But the the camera pictogram is still displayed under the individual pictures.
How can I remove it?

Same thing for the arrow allowing the starting of slideshow... I don't use it. How can I remove it?

Many thanks!
Pierre

If you don't check Photoblogger > Lightbox > Buttons > Show photo data, you won't see the camera icon.

Oddly, there doesn't seem to be any setting that will disable it completely. I believe you can at least hide it with a bit of custom code. Photoblogger > Advanced > Custom code > CSS:
.controls .lightbox-btn.play-pause {display: none;}

and the camera pictogram is still present. Bug?

I should have explained better:
My main concern is to start the lightbox in a true full-screen, with no zoom arrows, no slideshow arrows, no camera pictograms... Just the photo so as not to distract the user with buttons...

Maybe not possible with PhotoBlogger? Should I use another skin?

Thank you for your kind help!

I just tested it again, and it's working as I described. You should refresh your browser cache.

My main concern is to start the lightbox in a true full-screen, with no zoom arrows, no slideshow arrows, no camera pictograms... Just the photo so as not to distract the user with buttons...

Under Photoblogger > Lightbox > Main image > Maximum enlargement, choose 1 (i.e., never scale up).

If you also apply the custom CSS I described, above, that should get you to where you want to be.

(Demo album removed)

If there is only the image, what are visitors supposed to do to return to the thumbnails, or how could they move to the previous/next photo?

1/ The custom code is working fine. Tanks!
.controls .lightbox-btn.play-pause {display: none;}

2/ The camera pictogram is still present...
I didn't check Photoblogger > Lightbox > Buttons > Show photo data
Cache of my browser is empty (Brave, Chrome, Safari, Opera, DuckDuckGo, etc).

screenshots attached.

I use an old version of jAlbum (29.0.2). Maybe that's the cause of my problems....

I don't want to remove all buttons.
Only zoom arrows, slideshow arrows, camera pictograms.

Of course, next/previous arrows and X symbol must be present to navigate or close the lightbox.

Your album is exactly what I need!

We will need a link to an album that shows the problem. I can't reproduce it.

In my skins, I offer the option to turn it off. Almost all visitors know that clicking off-image will close a lightbox. They do it almost instinctively! I don't default to that option, however - better to have a visible "close" icon.

And prev/next can be hidden until you hover.

A quick example:

You album: https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/minControls/
is quite PERFECT for me! (simple, easy to use, distraction-free).

I would be very grateful if you could give me an empty album (one or two pictures) with this configuration.
Or can I import a PhotoBlogger skin already configured with your settings? If it's possible...

Because I don't think I'll be able to reproduce it myself...

That album wasn't made with Photoblogger, and Photoblogger won't do that. That's Neptune.

https://jefftucker.jalbum.net/skins/neptune/

Neptune does have a fullscreen option, but it's not automatic - the visitor must click on the fullscreen icon before clicking a thumbnail. The icon is at upper right.

That's OK.
Now I use Neptune and I am happy with it !

PhotoBlogger has too many functions for my basic use...

Merci for your help.

Good! :)

If you have any questions about it, start a new thread in the Other skins section. Neptune also has a full online user's manual - click the little "question mark" icon at upper right on any of the Neptune settings panels, or go to:
