How do I create a hover text over my grid gallery?

I am trying to create a hover box with the title of my pieces on my grid gallery.I have no CSS experience, I would really appreciate the help!

My template is: Ishimoto.

Here's my site: http://www.studiobanan.com/

Hi,

Not sure if you're using gallery blocks or gallery pages?

I've developed a commercial plugin that adds grid gallery block titles in front of the image with smooth hover effects. You can add a background color as well.

So if a result like the image below is what you're after, check out the plugin here.

Thanks Steve! Ill give it a try

I have been looking for something like this, thank you! I'm still a newbie to CSS, what about your code makes it slide up from the bottom? What about it can be modified to have it slide in other directions or simply appear or zoom into the overlay?

Also is there a way to maintain the title to the center of the image?

Sorry for the multiple questions, just interested to learn.

@adeuitch:

So as not to hijack @sira's question with material not directly responsive to it, if you will pose a separate question of your own and leave a comment here with the question title and url, I will try to help. Try to decide on what effect you want for your site and pose your question as how to get that. Don't forget to give your template name and site url.

As examples of the kind of hover effects that can be achieved, see Hover.css and CSS Image Hover Effects.

Thanks so much for this! Wondering if there is a simple way to have this effect display the description vs the title (or title and description) within the same context. I'm using the mercer template and this is the first script I've found that works with my site.

Best!

Hey guys. I'm using the Horizon template in Squarespace and I want to have the title hover effect with a desaturation or blur of the photo's title and caption in a gallery block on the individual images on specific pages.

Been trying to figure this out for months and cannot figure it out.

Hello!

I'm trying to use this on my site, and it's sort of working, but I would like the text to appear in the center of the image, right now it appears at the very top. Ho would I accomplish that?

Thank you!

You might try copying and pasting this in Design > Custom CSS:

/*
** in gallery grid, set a hover over slide effect to 
** display slide title on partially transparent
** overlay
*/
.sqs-gallery.sqs-gallery-design-grid .slide 
.margin-wrapper .image-slide-title {
 position: absolute;
 bottom: 0;  
 width: 100%;
 height: 0;
 color: white;
 background-color: rgba(194, 194, 163, .8);
 opacity: 0;
 transition: all .25s ease-in;
}
.sqs-gallery.sqs-gallery-design-grid .slide 
.margin-wrapper:hover .image-slide-title {
 height: 40%;
 opacity: .9;
}  

 

 

This should give you the effect, on hover over a slide, of a partially transparent overlay sliding up over the image and displaying the slide title.

Let me know whether this works and, if so, whether it's the type of effect you have in mind.

Hi there Steve, 
Thank you for the code. 
I have it on my website, however I would like to know if it's possible to center the text. 

Regards, 
Lili 

I have a similar question, does anyone know how to make the text sit in the box without being cut off? At the moment the bottom on the gs and ys aren't visible

Can you share link to gallery? We can check easier.

I've put this on the below site. Interested to hear how people have centred the text and wrap? (So the text doesn't go to the top) Tried a couple different CSS add ons and hasn't worked.

Also wondering this.

I need both the title and description shown on the hover. Basically, the same thing you get when you do slideshow gallery and toggle the hover option.

Following this: I would like to have text hover over image sin a Gallery Masonry, anyone can help? Many thanks!
