new install, don't see thumbnails

Every module that requires it can include it. Multiple instances of jQuery are generally not problem but can cause problems due other things so it's recommended that you load it once. You can add global reference to jQuery core and jQuery.UI in index.php of template, and disable it in all of modules, or turn it on on at least one of your modules.

I saw that message from Chrome browser debugger

When I go to:

www.daveconstantinoremodeling.com/dcr/mo...js/slideViewerPro.js

or

www.daveconstantinoremodeling.com/dcr/mo...jquery.timers-1.2.js

I get access forbidden message.
Check your permissions

Ahh, now we are getting somewhere. The permissions applied during the install did not include read permission. Now, we have something close to useful! Thanks for your assistance. I can start to adjust sizes and positions from here. Cheers!

You have been very helpful. The main questions of this post are: is this the right tool for me? how do I configure it to get what I want?

The tool has the basic features I like: lets me have thumbnails to scroll through and shows a big picture when I point to a thumbnail. The sizes are basically pretty good, but I want more and I don't know how to get it with this tool; I have read through the entire forum to get hints and steal code.

Attached is the basic design. Things it includes that I don't know how to do:
- background color on page: do I operate on hot-joomla-gallery-wrapper in CSS?
- have text alongside each "big" picture that changes when a thumbnail is clicked
- vertical spacing between "big" picture and thumbnails bar
- spacing between thumbnails
- increasing the width of the page without increasing the width of the "big" picture
- centering on page; I saw a couple of posts about putting "margin: 0 auto", but it wasn't clear what "container" to operate on; do I create my own container in index.php?

If this is the wrong tool; is there one that you recommend (one of your commercial tools?) that is better?

Hi,

You can usually change background color when you go to Template Manager and open your template (there is usually list of parameters and background color is one of them). If that is not case with your template you have this entity in template.css:

body {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
color: #393E37;
background-color: #5A392A;
}

To have description wit image use parameter named: "Enter data for gallery..."
Here is example of its content from ours site:
01.jpg||Welcome to HOT Mobility - New Hot Joomla Template!;
02.jpg||This template introduces two new extensions: HOT Joomla Gallery and HOT Joomla Carousel!;
.....

For vertical spacing between big picture and thumbs you can put margin-top for this css class:

.thumbSlider{...}

For spacing between thumbs you can use margin-left and margin-right on this entity:

.thumbSlider IMG {...}

For for page with css class .art-sheet{...} is responsible.

I see that your page is already center. Container that is across all page is .art-sheet and it's children you center so to access them use .art-sheet > * {...}
And marging :0 auto; on childeran and also padding :0 auto; on .art-sheet

Also put fixed width and height in

.svwp0{...}

because your gallery does no look good in chrome and safari.

You don't use our template so I normally would not answer you questions, have that in mind and please use forum of you template manufacturer for questions regarding your template .
