I love the theme and it seems very stable too. The only thing confuses me is that on some photo pages there is a small box saying 'More' at the top right corner of the image. It's unreachable because as soon as you mouse over the image the java drops the top bar which covers it up.

Same in Firefox and IE latest versions and not a major thing, just puzzling as it doesn't even appear in every album.

The 'More' button is only showed if there's more information about the picture like a description.
The information is then showed when the mouse is hovered over the picture.

Thanks for the fast reply. I see now that the More button and java overlay only appear when there is a description in the photo options.

I'd like to disable shadowbox on photopages. If the shadowbox slideshow is used the view count isn't updated.
As there is keyboard navigation I don't think a slideshow is mandatory.
Any ideas?

I will consider for next release now that I am using standard dialog handling

version 2.4.2 has been released

  • Fixed issue some modules requiring scrollTo() function.
  • Shadowbox is now optional. Special logic added to allow/disallow SB slideshow mode. If disabled, theme would not support full view for images to be in the popup window, new window will be used instead.
  • CSS: Minor improvements for thumb layout in Overlay and Bottom Title Display mode
  • ADMIN: Support for flex column layout added
  • ADMIN Help: Small improvements

Totally awesome theme!
Just two questions:
1. Has codex been refreshed? I seem to be getting v2.4.1 instead of v2.4.2.
2. I'd like to be able to use custom thumbs for albums, similar to G2 Carbon theme for example. Is this possible to do it somehow? If not can I suggest it for a wishlist?

it is possible.

a) if you'd like simply create a new colorpack and specify your own thumb background
b) create background prototype and send it to me, I will try to add it for carbon colorpack myself

image would have to be full size to be used as a background for the thumb so it may vary in size depend on aspect ratio of the thumb.

Hey,

thank you for that :)

I wrote a blogpost for the colorpack at http://www.cindyenguy.be/2010/10/13/blue-colorpack-for-gallery3-greydragon-theme/
That way I can better track the interest. If there's enough animo I maybe create more colorpacks.

Like the theme so much I even bought you a coffee :)

@GuyVerschuere: I have updated the link from codex page to use the blog post instead of file link. You would have more flexibility in managing it. Thank you for kind words about the theme.

I want to thank you and many others who contributed to my coffee fund.
Your support is greatly appreciated! :)

OK, thanks!

edit: just did a compare between your colors.css and mine with notepad. Almost every line is marked as different. Offcourse because the colors are different...

I'm not sure if it's my own fault (though i haven't changed anything in any code yet) but the 3 small buttons, above the sidebar, to change the position of the sidebar all lead to the directory structure page of my gallery, instead changing the position.
Any idea about this problem?
See http://puckstar.com/gallery/

Also a general question, since I'm just new with Gallery, can I only have 1 theme for all picture albums? or can i select somehow different themes for different albums?

Thanks!

This theme has never worked for me even though I really would like it to.

I get page errors.
I keep losing admin login and have to re-login sometimes getting errors. Luckily I keep the dashboard book marked.
I had a logo image showing up but then it stopped. Do I need to put the path or just the filename. I've tried it both ways.
I can't get login button to show up. Again I the login bookmark saves me.
In admin (WIND) the appearance area formatting is messed up and shows things on the wrong lines.

@PuckStar: See the issue, something with latest codebase. Will check.
As far as know there is no support for diff themes based on album. You can install different instances.
There is a request submitted to allow dynamic selection of the theme from URL

@jeff: screenshot? version of G3? provider? PHP version? Apache version? any other technical details may help.

Normally I have sidebar selection disabled. I enabled it once to test. I have the same issue.
For security reasons I created an emtpy index.php in /themes/greydragon. This way directory listing is disabled.
I'm sure they will get it fixed soon.

verstion 2.4.3 is out

  • Fixed issue with sidebar mode switch link being incorrect
  • CSS: small style adjustment to neutralize default style effect for the search entry box

.
@GuyVerschuere: much easier to do it in .htaccess

Oh, sorry, I wasn't quite precise in my second question. WHat I mean is this: is it possible to nominate (and upload) an image that becomes a thumbnail of a given album. When I mentioned G2 Carbon I meant that under album edit in this theme there is a fill in field which accepts an image file (I think jpegs only) which is not in an album but upon upload becomes a thumbnail of this album. For example my G2 gallery (ksnausphoto.com) uses custom thumbnails. In my test G3 which runs Greydragon (ksnausphoto.com/g3) thumbnails of albums are created from images which are actually included in the album. Does it makes sense?

It is not theme related question. Custom thumb images need to be allowed by G3 itself or there should be a 3rd party module which would allow something like that.
Best way to approach this would be to create separate thread in this forum and submit your request/question such way and see if someone would be interested in creating one.

I'm just about to go live with my first gallery and the nitpick in me would like to add a line of text at the top of the page displaying the thumbs of an album. I'd like to add, "Click a pic to enter slideshow." I tried this in a few places, but it also shows up on the individual photo pages and list of album pages (which is obviously not necessary and looks silly to a visitor). Is there a way to limit this, or what part of the code affects just the page in question?

On a similar note, it would be nice for the $pagination_msg on that page to say, "Picture: 1,2,...." instead of "Page: 1, 2..."

Cheers,

R

Look in album.html.php. I would suspect place would be below <?= $theme->add_paginator("top"); ?>

Sorry, for consistency, it is what it is. Page is more than just photo
you can adjust paginator.html.php if you'd like

I tried album.html.php and a few others and the text appears on more than just the album's thumb pages. I don't see any unique <div> or class on that page whereby I can track it down in the code and try to add the text somewhere. Oh, well, no big deal...

Thanks,

R

Try to use Developer Tools in IE 8 (F12) or FF and locate place you want to put your text in
album.html.php is a middle part used only in albums, while photo.html.php only in individual photo pages

Yeah, I did that before and tried again after your latest post and wherever I've tried adding text in that file also appears on at least the sub-album page.

I was thinking of creating a new <div id> just for this purpose, but if I can't add plain text to the file to only appear on the album-thumb page, how would a new <div> do the trick?

I did think of one thing- I added the text in the album description so that it appears in the sidebar only on the page I want. In caps and with a * before and after the text, I think people will see it.

Why not setting it in a footer?
I have a footer.php wich contains some text, google ads, google analytics code etc...
All I have to do with new version is include footer.php at the right place.

Sub-album is still an album.
you can analize parent tree of the page's base item (see paginator - checks for parent being present)

has anyone been able to get video working in greydragon??

I use serverside upload, nofffmpeg and video dimensions.

http://rhmpano.com/gallery3/index.php/Prior-lives/The-1990s

Two movies have been uploaded both the same but one flv(the one with the full title) and the other mp4

Neither work in greydragon (also serverside upload will not work in greydragon)

In theme default, serverside upload works and the flv file plays, why not the mp4? which is 1/2 the file size.

These are all 3rd party modules?

if so, I cannot guaranty that every out of hundreds of variations of them work with my theme.
If someone is up to the task to figure out the cause, I will be happy to add the fix

Hi Serge,
Great theme, thanks for taking the time to develop it.
I'm trying to change the size of the thumbnails from 200px to 300 or even 350px.
I've changed every 200 I could find in the theme files to 300 with no luck except moving the thumbnail and some of the thumbnail frame.
Can you point me to the right file / files to alter ?
Then I'll sort out the frame.
Many Thanks.

ok, strange
do you have restrictive mode enabled for php?
could you try replacing theme's file with one attached (rename as .php)

As far as i know, I don`t have restrictive mode enabled for php.
Here is log file with two clicks of different tags.

And now I have blank page, but with header and footer. :)

Hi Serge,
thanx a lot for this brilliant theme. It's looking beautiful and it's very stable.
Two trifles regarding the dialog-box for setting the album permissions:
The icons "ico-success...", "ico-denied...", etc. are missing. Only textual placeholders appear instead. (Helped myself copying the icons from the wind theme.)
And the "breadcrumped" album name below doesn't quite fit into the dialog box.
Best Regards

I expected to see the EXIF info in a fixed size box, just like shadowbox.
For the fullsize, I expected to see the image in a box expanded to the available space within the browserwindow, or, if the image is smaller, a box with the size of the image.

Is there any chance that the option to rotate pictures in either direction will be added to greydragon? Also is there a way to narrow down album pages to 2 colums instead of the default minimum of 3?

No, I am not going to expose rotation based on principle that it should be done outside of the gallery as explained in the past
you can however simply make menu item visible by modifying CSS
why do you want two column layout? would page be too "empty" when browser in maximized mode?
