Automatically Showing controls

[njiels]

Hi, sorry if this is kind of a simple question but is there any way to showing the controls automatically when refreshing/entering a page? Right now I have to click on the image for it to show the controls. This is not very user friendly.

Also, is there any way for buying you a coffee ;) chocolat has helped me out a lot!

Hello,

You want to open the image as soon as you arrive on the page ?
Then this issue may help you : #71

It should look like this :

$(document).ready(function () {
    var instance = $('#your-selector').Chocolat({ 
        // ...
    })

    instance.api().open() 
})

Did I understand you question correctly ?

I'm glad you're enjoying Chocolat! (but there is no way of buying me a coffee 😅)

Thanks for answering so fast, and sorry for answering so late myself. This opens the gallery fullscreen, but i want the gallery to be showed in a container, but right now it only shows a thumbnail (so without controls). The result i'm aiming for is something like the in-container example on the chocolat website.

First you have to define an html element that will be your contained, for example :

<div id="chocolat-container" style="width: 800px; height: 600px;"></div>

then you can use the setting container like this :

$(document).ready(function () {
    var instance = $('#your-selector').Chocolat({ 
        contained: '#chocolat-container'
    })

    instance.api().open() 
})
