Adding a text hover to Gallery section.

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to duplicate the text hover effect from my portfolio page (pictured, top left image is hover) in a gallery section on another page using CSS.

I'm a CSS novice. I've managed to get the opacity hover, however I'm stuck on how to get the text description to display on hover.

.gallery-grid-item-wrapper:hover img {
  opacity: 0.8;
  transition: all ease-in-out 0.2s;
}
.gallery-item-description:hover img {
    opacity: 1;
}

Thanks, appreciate any help.

I'm still in my trial, so I don't think I can....?

If the site is in a trial you can set a password in the visibility settings and share this with us.

There are 4 gallery images on the homepage.

I'm trying to replicate the caption hover effect from the 'Projects' page onto these images on the homepage.

 

I'd also like to use the caption hover effect on 'Objects of Desire' page. 

Can you add some demo captions & enable Gallery caption first? We can check effect easier.

Hey @tuanphanis it possible to do a similar text hover effect on the 'Library' page?

The captions are much longer though, so I'm not sure how that would work.

  • The images will be clickable or non-clickable?
  • You will add captions or non-caption?

Non-clickable. Captions yes, to reveal on hover. 

Use this CSS

/* Library page hover */
body#collection-614c0d638d723b5cb6c408e5 {
/* Masonry hover 2 */
figure.gallery-grid-item {
    position: relative;
}
.gallery-caption, .gallery-caption-wrapper {
    position: static !important;
    z-index: 100 !important;
    top: unset;
    transform: unset;
    height: initial;
    opacity: 1 !important;
}
/* title */
.gallery-caption-content {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    z-index: 999;
    padding: 7%;
    transition: opacity ease 200ms !important;
    opacity: 0 !important;
pointer-events: none;
}
.gallery-masonry-item:hover .gallery-caption-content {
    opacity: 1 !important;
}
/* overlay */
.gallery-masonry-item-wrapper a:after {
    background: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); /* overlay color */
    content: "";
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    opacity: 0;
    transition: opacity ease 200ms !important;
}
.gallery-masonry-item:hover .gallery-masonry-item-wrapper a:after {
    opacity: 0.75;
}
/* remove gap */
figcaption {
    padding: 0 !important;
}
}

@tuanphan Love this code. I am using it with the 

p.gallery-caption-content {
    color: black;
    font-size: 2rem !important;
}

swapped from 'black' to 'white'.  Based on this code is there a way to add a darken feature to the image on hover so the white text stands out a bit more? Thank you in advance.

Hi Tuanphan, here you go: (overview of home page construction _ gallery sections, plus simulation of effect I would like to achieve (text on hover with white background, slight transparency). Hopefully this is more helpful.

#1. Add to Design > Custom CSS

section#uono-header:hover img {
    opacity: 0.4;
}

#2. With text

Can you add text first? I don't see any text so can't test code to make text appear on hover

Thank you Tuanphan, the effect of the transparency works very well.

(https://pale-studio.com/ > scroll down to 'Uono' section)

I have temporarily added a text. Would it be possible for it to only show upon hover? 

Plus, i would like to exclude this effect on the Mobile version, since this effect wouldn't properly work.

Many thanks for your help! So much appreciated.

Use this code to add hover for text

@media screen and (min-width:901px) {
.Index-gallery-item-content.Index-gallery-item-content--has-title-and-body {
    opacity: 0;
}
section.Index-gallery:hover .Index-gallery-item-content.Index-gallery-item-content--has-title-and-body {
    opacity: 1;
}
}

Fantastic, many thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for.

Last request: it is possible to have the entire text invisible (on .Index-gallery-item-content)  for Mobile view? See image below (it doesnt look very nice).

Thanks again!

Screenshot 2023-04-03 at 11.06.51.png

Use this new code

@media screen and (min-width:901px) {
section.Index-gallery:hover .Index-gallery-item-content.Index-gallery-item-content--has-title-and-body {
    opacity: 1;
}
}
.Index-gallery-item-content.Index-gallery-item-content--has-title-and-body {
    opacity: 0;
}
