How to use the Highslide Single Image Viewer
== About == The '''Highslide''' snippet set allows users to display expandable images with accompanying descriptive text or metadata in a visually engaging, overlay-style window. It is most commonly used for book covers, squadron documents, or media with detailed captions. There are two related snippets: * <NoWiki>{s:HighslideSingleImage}</NoWiki> * <NoWiki>{s:HighslideWindow|...}</NoWiki> These snippets differ in usage and output — one is standalone, the other allows embedded captions and detail formatting. === Required Snippets === You can use either snippet independently, but <NoWiki>{s:HighslideWindow|...}</NoWiki> is more flexible for adding multiple lines of descriptive content. === Basic Syntax === ==== Minimal version (image only) ==== @@ {s:HighslideSingleImage} @@ Usually used when a default image is to be shown with basic Highslide behavior and no accompanying caption or windowed content. ==== Full version with caption window ==== @@ {s:HighslideWindow|{UP}ImageFileName|Title|Caption} @@ === Snippet Details === ==== <NoWiki>{s:HighslideSingleImage}</NoWiki> ==== Displays a single image using Highslide functionality. When clicked, the image expands in an overlay. * '''Parameters:''' None * '''Image Source:''' Automatically detects an associated image on the current page or uses a default * '''Use Case:''' When you only need basic expansion without additional descriptive content * '''Limitations:''' No caption, title, or detail text — not suitable for documentation-heavy items ---- ==== <NoWiki>{s:HighslideWindow|{UP}Image|Title|ShortTitle|Description}</NoWiki> ==== Displays an image thumbnail that expands when clicked, along with a customizable floating window containing descriptive text. This is commonly used for items like books, documents, or artifacts. * '''Parameter 1:''' Image location Typically prefixed with `{UP}` to access uploaded files, e.g. `{UP}cover_2_613sq_history.png` * '''Parameter 2:''' Image title (shown in Highslide header) * '''Parameter 3:''' Short description or alternate title * '''Parameter 4:''' Full description — can include: * Line breaks: `<br/>` * Headings or emphasis: `<b>...</b>` * Lists: `<ul><li>...</li></ul>` * Paragraphs: `<p>...</p>` * '''Use Case:''' Ideal for books, historical documents, or artifact listings with rich descriptions === Example === @@ {s:HighslideWindow|{UP}Cover_2_401bg_bluebook_reprint.png |401st BlueBook|Pictorial Record of the 401st Bomb Group (BlueBook) |Edited and compiled under supervision of Capt. Gordon R. Closeway, 401BG Public Relations Officer. pub. (orig.) 1946, Newsfoto Publishing Co., San Angelo, Texas. 300+pp; ill., 7-1/2"w x 10-1/2"h x 1-1/2"t, oversize hard cover, upholstered. <br/> <hr style="width: 64px"> <br/> Reprints similar, except squadron patches not in color, and photos not as 'sharp'. Many photos now in NARA Still Pictures Collection. } @@ === Tips === * Always prefix uploaded image file names with `{UP}` to ensure they resolve correctly * Keep long descriptions in parameter 4 for HighslideWindow — parameter 3 should be brief * Use HTML tags sparingly and consistently * The Highslide viewer will automatically format and resize images for display === Use Cases === * Digitized book covers with detailed metadata * Squadron historical documents * Archive images with structured background info * Showcasing physical artifacts or publication references === Related Snippets === * [++Help.FotoramaViewer|FotoramaViewer] – for photo galleries with captions * [++Help.401st-Snippets|Snippets Reference]
