PG theme

pgilbert, rpain, just wanted to reply ... only with the RC1 having no CVS applied and and older PGtheme release... you've updated it and fixed this a few days ago. No issues since.

pgilbert, I've noticed a little bug - if you have nested folders and the photo.tpl displays the navigation icons for the album and the two root albums besides the gallery home, it highlights always the leftmost root album - even pointing the mouse where the arrow indicates.
Don't know if this is theme behaviour or gallery itsself.

It seems like some of my theme parameters are broken. I'm using RC1, and 0.10.4 of PGTheme. Opacity, columns, some parameters are obeyed. But all of my Show/Hide parameters stopped working. Can't get them to change globally or per-album. It's showing everything (title, description, owner, views, item actions, etc), when I really don't want it to show anything.

Any ideas? This has got to be user-error, right? I believe it was working earlier today, but now it's not. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Eric

LFrank,

The "top navigation pic's" bug fixed

(Version: '0.10.4' Build:'4')

I would love to try this theme, but when I upload it (into the gallery2 directory AND the themes directory) it doesn't show up in the All Themes page to install it. I downloaded this from this page, http://www.pedrogilberto.net/gallery2/theme.html so is this the most current build? Any thoughts on why it isn't showing up? I'm using the latest gallery2 build...

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Thanks, yes this is the structure I have, the PGtheme is in the gallery2 main directory. I also tried putting it in the themes directory just to try it... I've quit the browser a few times, emptied the cache, all to no avail... it just won't show up to be installed on the All Themes page. Everything else about this incredible photo script works great....

XtremeCamera,
The zip file should be unziped into your gallery2 folder, it will create all the needed folders and files.

Ericular,
I really don,t know wath's the problem, this you make any chnages to any code?

I have made some changes to other .tpl files that I thought would be unrelated, but maybe not. Two questions:

1) Are .tpl files cached in any way? Sometimes I'll make a change to a "local" file and the changes won't always take effect instantly. Other times, if I update your theme with new files, sometimes they won't take effect until I actually go and make a change to the file and save it. Hard to explain.

2) Do you have any more major features planned for this theme? If not, I can just hard code some display options into local files and not worry about figuring out my problem.

Excellent theme, by the way. I like it a lot.

Come on guys, isn't anyone else having problems getting the microthumbs working? I am on a dedicated linux server running apache 1.3, php, mySQL, imagemagick, GD, etc etc etc... everything is working fine except for the microthumbs (which I really like)... does anyone have a clue? (I reinstalled it 3 times, using the uzip command... still no micros)

I've the same problem.
Deleting template cache and database cache didn't help.
The microthumbs are gone

I'm having the same problem drstrange was having. No background image effect when loading the images.

sorry- couldn't feedback earlier - have the same problems as a few reported already. Instead of the Thumbnavigation, I get a second set of Nacvigation Icons in the frame the thumbnails should sit.

That did it! :D I am absolutely in love with Gallery2 and this amazing theme. The two combined make for the best photo scripts anywhere, at any price. I have to pinch myself everyday to believe that these scripts are offered under GNU.

Thanks Pedro Gilberto for your hard work on this theme. Where should I send the check?

XtremeCamera, are you having this problem only with the PG theme or with others? If with others, please start a new topic and post your system info and phpinfo as specified here, http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:faq#What_information_is_required_when_I_ask_for_help_in_the_forums.3F

pgilbert, perfect - btw. you can try right click and middle click on my page ;)

Oh, you might want to check out mine, here; http://xtremecamera.net/gallery2/main.php
(Contains some non-porn nudity, so beware...its a professional photography site)

I haven't scratched the surface on customizing this theme, but I have managed to change more than a little... PGtheme is very well thought out.

Klondike, that's just a catch all, if say any elements of the PGtheme folder got partially installed or anything... Probably not, so just deleting the folder you uploaded should do it...

More information on my problem, the following are in my apache error log:

child pid 6631 exit signal Segmentation fault

Pedro,

Great theme, and still getter better every day.

I noticed on your site you have a guestbook that has the same look-and-feel as your gallery. I am looking for something like that for a while. Did you make that yourself? Would you consider making this publicly available?

how do I get the thick black borders around the picture like on Pedro's g2 site? In admin under album, item & photo frame the thickest black border frame is PG 1px?

cow736,

I believe this has more to do with the browser window size, and number of microthumb columns. I also believe that I tried it in Firefox and it wasn't a problem.

I think it's just an issue with how IE redraws the table or something when the larger image is shown on mouseover? Just a guess, but I've encountered the same problem.

Pedro,

Is there an easy way to make the microthumbs simply change opacity on mouseover, rather than also having them become slightly bigger? This would be similar to how the album thumbnails are displayed on album pages. Opacity change, but no size change. The size change effect is great if everything fits on the screen, but it would be nice to have an option (or just clue me in to what file to hack) so it could be disabled if needed.

This would likely take care of this issue.

Thanks,
Eric

LFrank,

Thanks for the tip... worked beautifully.

Pedro,

Just an FYI, the theme appears to have a slight problem with Internet Explorer 7 Beta, at least on my XP SP2 computer. The "Loading..." GIF comes up, and you can tell it's loading the photo in the background, but when the image has loaded, the "Loading..." GIF still remains indefinately. The photo never shows up. Works fine on the same computer with Firefox though, and on other computers with IE6, obviously.

Thanks for the great theme!

Hello.

I have set Gallery2 on multisite, with 2 sites: mine and my brothers. The question is: how to use Pedro's theme on both sites, without interfering one with eachother. Right now the theme is installed in the codebase of gallery, so if I change let's say author.tpl (for my apresentation) this will appear also on my brother's site.

I've tried to create a second directory PGTheme II in themes and copied the content of pedro's theme but no help (it won't appear on site admin as a new theme). What to do in order to function?

Another try i've made (but I'm noob into php) was to use the same footer me and my brother and tryed to create a second author apresentation. I've modified theme.inc and added a new checkbox for second author .. but that was all I managed to do. Don't know what to insert into author.tpl to make this work.

Any help is apreciated.
Alin

alithenake, you're on the right track.. see the theme docs for how to clone a theme.

mindless,

could you make some advise for a quick-patch until Pedro fixes it? I tried to change navigatorThumbs to

{*
 * $Revision: 2.0 $ $Date: 2005/07/26 $
 * If you want to customize this file, do not edit it directly since future uPGthemerades
 * may overwrite it.  Instead, copy it into a new directory called "local" and edit that
 * version.  Gallery will look for that file first and use it if it exists.
 *}
