How can I automatically toggle showinfo in jQuery Galleria plugin?

Question

I can't seem to find this documented anywhere. Basically I just want to have the caption automatically be displayed throughout the slideshow...

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

Assuming you are using the Classic theme:

$('#gallery').galleria({
    _toggleInfo: false
});

Answer 2

I wanted to have the caption displayed automatically when the galleria is loaded, but not switch of the toggle button which can hide the caption again. (I am not sure though if this was what Logan wanted).

The solution proposed by rodbot seemed to be what what I was looking for.

But just to complete his proposal - do not forget to ensure, that you trigger the click AFTER the galleria is loaded. As documented on http://galleria.aino.se/docs/1.2/references/extending/ - to do that, you must place the clicking logic inside "extend: function(options)". I am also using more "fancier" Galleria.get(0).$('info-link') to get the element.

Complete example:

$("#gallery").galleria({
    width: 661,
    height: 661,
    extend: function(options) {
        Galleria.get(0).$('info-link').click();
    }
});

Just placing the "$(".galleria-info-link").click()" after the script with galleria loading did not work for me, because the element for displaying the caption (which we want to click) is not yet created.

Hopefully this can save someone a few minutes of googling which I needed to find this solution :-)
