Great job! One problem with the root page slide show. Perhaps something simple on my end that I can not figure out?
http://www.gswallcovering.com/gallery3/index.php/ Problem: The slide show won't work?

I like not having to have the log in on the root page.

Thank you Serge D.

Looks nice, but is there any code that You can show so that the BASKET module is working properly.
Problem now: When adding a picture to the basket, the shopping bag is not showing.

Great Work this Theme

All seems to be bug free except that Shadow Box does not run when photo clicked, www.grovesonline.com/gallery3_6.

it does not work because in script modules/carousel/js/jcarousellite.js which is regestered before themes/greydragon/js/jquery.cycle.js there is an error in js "SCRIPT5007: Object expected"
this prevents execution of the script responsible for root page animation

if you are refering to big white cart in the corner, then I am hiding it - was like that from the begining
you can remove the rule from CSS file to make it visible again or use sidebar

you would need updated version of ShadowBox - http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:shadowbox - as registration procedure is now moved out of the theme

Thank you that fixed the initialisation of Shadow Box.
However Shadow Box now only displays images contained within the page not the complete album. The slide function is absent.
I reverted back to GD 3.08 and the compete album is displayed and the slide function works.

Resolved the slide show issue, the default slide delay setting in Shadowbox is 0, no slide show. Changed this setting to 10 and slide show displays.
When the Disable Photo Page (Slideshow Mode) is selected in Theme options Shadowbox only displays the images in that page. When this setting is not selected Shadowbox displays all the images in the album.

Slide function? Slideshow?
It is beta after all so things could happen :)

All looks good here except 2 things 1) the large icons only show in slate if i try to copy the code to gerydragon this doesnt work any more. 2) the slide show on the root page no longer shows any pictures any ideas?

not all color packs are ready yet
this is next round
slideshow should work but it is now pure JS, any JS errors would potentially break it - link?

I think you are mixing two things here
yes, when photo page is enabled, there is logic to show all photos within album from Photo page initiated slideshow
this logic is not part of the code for album page
it can be and will be done, just was not coded yet

yes, there is a JS error

SCRIPT5007: Unable to set value of the property 'display': object is null or undefined 
96e2a5717db6799516400498c560c124, line 60 character 30118

this is part of sizzle.js code
I have not seen this before
I guess, you would have to check which module may cause this by enabling/disabling custom modules one-by-one
and another thing, I do not see parsed RSS feed generating images
which RSS do you use for the root page?

you need to have rss/rss_extra as they provide rss feed used in the root page
can you post url as you specified in root page config section

I was able to pull your rss feed within my root page, so there is something more fundamental...

Do you see anything in error log?

  • In particular, is there any exception message for SimpleXML
  • Do you know if CURL is supported by your hosting service?

sorry to sound stupid but where is the error log? as for CURL i dont know i am hosting it on my Qnap TS-210 at home this is the information from dashbourd
Host name: WitsEnd
Operating system: Linux 2.6.33.2
Apache: Apache
PHP: 5.2.14
MySQL: 5.1.36-log
Server load: 0.1 0.18 0.14
Graphics toolkit: gd
when i was running 3.08 the random photo in side bar never worked and displayed xml error but the root page worked fine now as soon as i installed 3.1 the side bar random picture works but root page doesnt. I have set the theam to defaults but this did not help either.

If you could check log file in vars\logs folder may be there is something there

I have not seen this before either.
I searched for sizzle.js though the gallery-contrib repository and don't see it.
I would suspect it is some module from the forums?
tfm426, see if you can find that file.

Hi Dave
when i did a search for Sizzle it showed me shadowbox and jquery so i looked inside both files and find a reffrance to sizzle "Sizzle CSS Selector Engine - v0.9.3" Line 14 in jquery and in shaddowbox it is line 10 "Sizzle CSS Selector Engine - v1.0" i hope this helps at the moment i have shadow box turned off and it has made no differance?

I think sizzle is just confused here somehow
problem is not there but that for TFM's setup rss feed is not read properly or could not be reached
since it is "home" box, there could be many reasons for it...
I am looking to add more debug info as I would hate to come back to Flash just for this

How can I change the text to lower case in Grey Dragon?????

Currently I am leading the way for anybody searching in Google with their Caps lock on but nobody else can find me!!!!

Its the gallery and album text which is upper case:

http://www.webbaviation.de/gallery2/index.php/

Photo text is lower case. I assume its in the CSS but am totally unfamiliar with CSS so if somebody could tell me in beginners language what and where to modify I would be very grateful.

Other than that hickup, gallery3 and grey dragon are working very well.

regards,

Jonathan Webb

In custom.css add

.g-thumbslide .g-description .g-title { text-transform: none; }

if this how search engine sees you, then it is wrong, as it should be case agnostic
and if you look at the source uppercase conversion is on css level, not on source level, so engine's crawler should see original text, not rendered image...

PS: you are still on 3.0.8 version of the theme, this thread is for 3.1. beta

(let me know if I should punt this to the grey dragon theme thread).

did you install 3.1 beta? (it is special link from dedicated beta thread

OK. Got it! On 3.1 now.

I guess I need to select "Disable Photo Page (Slideshow Mode)"? Also how can I remove the space between the images similar to your site and can I do this on an album by album basis?

yes, you need to disable photo page
yes, you can have the same look, simply choose "Wall" framepack in admin section
no, you cannot do this on album by album basis

Hello, I love your theme and am going to use it for my new G3 page, but I have a few questions:

1) When I select Film/Full Frame 3:2 aspect ratio of my thumbs AND selecting the new WALL Photo Frame, the thumbnails do have space between them on the sides, because the Titel Display is wider than the thumb itself. (http://www.crxed.nl/gallery3)

Is there a way to fix this?
I do not want to use the Widescreen thumbs, because this will crop too much of my images.

2) Can you point me in the right direction for making room for a bigger/wider Header Image?
I would like it to span across my entire site from left to right.
(something like this http://www.crxed.nl/wordpress)

use maintenance section of the theme to mark thumbs for rebuild then use admin's maintenance section to run the process

use css to replace #header background, change/adjust height

That's what I did (it's still running) before I asked the question, but it will not clear the gaps, the Title Overlay is still a little bigger than the thumb.

gaps are because of thumb are smaller than thumb view port
you need to finish resize process

As I expected, gaps are still present after resize is complete.
It has something to do with the aspect ratio of the thumbs being different than the aspect ratio of the thumb view port.
Pictures with my old camera are 4:3
Pictures of my new camera are 3:2

I guess i can't really mix those and expect everything to look the same.

Why not use 3:2 aspect for the thumbs?
Yes, old images would be cropped (use mode to center thumb image) above/below, but... You would get continuos wall
