Is there a slight difference in the theme you are running on your site and the one you provide for download?
For some reason, when I do a search with your theme installed locally, the table with the "Searching..." doesn't get hidden in Safari and stays at the top with the banner and everything else under it. Everything works fine in Firefox.
When I try the same search on your site, the "Searching..." table hides in Safari.

The code of my demo seems to be the same as the downloadable package.
But I saw there are misplaced semicolon on line 79 and 80 in modules/search/templates/local/SearchScan.tpl :
Hmmm...well I reinstalled gallery and redownloaded nature and installed it and all is working as it should.
Thanks.

I'm running into a small problem with the display of the ratings for items inside an album. I just upgraded to 2.2.1 last week and have everything else working, but for some reason the average rating (blue bar under the stars) is left aligned but only inside the album and only with firefox. On the photo page, or on the album page if viewing with IE, the rating info is all displaying ok. Can anyone tell me how to fix the display for the average rating bar so that it aligns properly in IE and in firefox? Example is here, view in both browsers to compare: http://www.mangrumphoto.com/gallery/v/places/
I don't think this used to be a problem since I only had ratings turned on for photo pages, but with the new version, ratings have to be turned on for the album as well.
Thanks,
Chris

In the css file of your ratings module (gallery/modules/rating/rating.css) add
Thank you. I entered margin: auto; for the .giRatingAverageContainer and that corrected the display for both IE and FF on the album page. Adding it for .block-core-ItemInfo, which wasn't in my Rating.css file, didn't seem to change anything. However, now on the photo page (example http://www.mangrumphoto.com/gallery/v/flora/DSC_2823.JPG.html) the alignment is off for both browsers. I know the rating module is not in the default location on my site so if there is no fix for it I'll understand. Is there any way to have the alignment correct for both browsers on the albums page and the photo page? I'm not as familiar with CSS as I should be...
Thanks,
Chris

Yep there is :p
Just copy the CSS declaration just as I posted it above.
By writing ".block-core-ItemInfo .giRatingAverageContainer" and not just ".giRatingAverageContainer" you specify CSS for the element with class "giRatingAverageContainer" only when it is in (i.e. is a child of) the element "lock-core-ItemInfo".

HA! See, I told you I didn't know my CSS. That worked perfectly, thank you!
How would u get rid of that????? I don't want it to say "This is your main page"
Also, on top of the browser, where it says -Gallery-... how can i edit that too?

That doesn't look like the nature theme, but if it was I'd say check author.tpl and theme.tpl to change those two items.

Just have installed this theme on my new website. I'm not a css-guy, so would somebody mind to post me the code that is used to have these 5 boxes (i.e. he layout ) of the image Paul posted as an example for the first page?
Thanks a lot

Hi Cb,
I'm afraid we all have to disappoint you as the image I have posted -as far as I know- never has been translated into XHTML/CSS. I posted it only as a concept image to give an impression of the possibilities.
Let's hope I'm wrong and someone did this after all. So just try and wait just for several days, who knows...
And then, if the waiting didn't pay off, I could create it for you, but only on a paid basis.

I believe I didn't provide any code to show the ratings system, so I guess you have to modify the tpl file(s) a bit...

hello, another fan of the nature-theme really nice, especially with all the options for customization.
one thing, though, I couldn´t figure out – and in the forums people replicated this problem which seems to be rather inherent to the nature-theme:
I want the first page to be w/o sidebar, but still show some blocks like lanugage selector and keyword-album-links. it would seem you can do that modifying the author.tpl. (thanks for that anyways!). as e.g. for the keyword album it should according to the rules be something like: "{g->block type=keyalbum.KeywordLink}".
– but while this works in other themes it doesn´t show up on the first page in nature. I had this problem, and it seems others can replicate it.
is there a trick to that? is it possible to let selected blocks be shown in the first page without referring back to the sidebar or the footer?
thanks already in general for the fantastic theme, as for any particular help here.

to answer myself here (actually Dave hinted me) and for future users:
"{g->block type="keyalbum.KeywordLinks" forItem=false}" is the minmal expression needed for the call of the keyword-block to work in the nature-author.tpl (– while "{g->block type="keyalbum.KeywordLinks"}" suffices for other themes.

Hi Saul,
Both Ebony and your themes are incredible. The five box is a great concept. I can create the HTML but don't know how the theme will take html, php etc...
This stuff is way over my pay grade.
I am doing a family picture site for all of us who are at jobs at different parts of the world....
I may come to you for paid help if all other solution fail. I think a landing page that helps visitors with some simple bite sized infor on what next to do is powerful.
Congrats for that.
Also I don't know why the "Slideshow" icon exists but does not work with Nature there. I have disabled the java slideshow and only wish to use the default bundled (Its piclens now). It does wonderfully with ebony and other themes. BTW, I am using RC-1. Here is my environment:
Gallery version = 2.3-RC1 core 1.2.36
API = Core 7.54, Module 3.9, Theme 2.6, Embed 1.4
PHP version = 5.2.3-1ubuntu6 apache2handler
Webserver = Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6
Database = mysqli 5.0.45-Debian_1ubuntu3, lock.system=flock
Toolkits = ArchiveUpload, Exif, Ffmpeg, Getid3, jpegtran, LinkItemToolkit, NetPBM, SquareThumb, Thumbnail, Gd
Acceleration = none, none
Operating system = Linux dcerouter 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 21:45:15 GMT 2007 x86_64
Default theme = matrix

Browser = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

When I install this theme and chose some other colors, the icons for next or Last disappear.
I would like to use embed color - white background but keep the icons.
Is this a big mod?

Hi Anil,
I guess you have to create the icons in the colorpack, I believe next.gif, nexton.gif, prev.gif, prevon.gif.
But you reminded me that I had an unpublished colorPack lieing around, so:
I have just published the natureGreenWhite colorPack!
As the name implies, this pack makes the naturetheme have a (light gradient) green backgroundcolor (outside the content table) and an (of-)white foregroundcolor (inside the content table).
It also adds a logo to the background.
Moreover I've added several search icons I found out to be missing.
Paul

Guy - You are awesome. Instead of trying another theme color, I want to figure out why my slide show icon does not work. I found out that when I use action from the drop down it is working fine. But using the slide show icon from config says no pictures found...
I just love the creativity of people using open source.

Hi Saul11
I just tried the Nature theme with the white color pack and its just awesome. It looks so polished and eye pleasing. Impressive.
Do you have any idea while the slide show icon is not functional...
Also I found a bug. On the photo page, when my thumbnails are to right and I have four to a column and 16 total giving me 4 rows...
The 8th thumbnail is a No-op. Its not functional.
I'll look to see what might be wrong.
Also I set the theme to show 4 columns on the first page. Do you know how to tell it to limit to two rows. Basically control how many thumbnails get shown on the first page.

Hi Saul11
Did you notice that 2.3-RC2 does not work with your theme? I just lost all my add on themes!!
And I did not back up b4. Serves me right!!
I just installed Nature on my gallery (G2) and something crazy
happened once I logged off of my site
and went back to the gallery the log in link vanished
Thanks for the lead. I appreciate all the help I got on these forums. I am curious - what technology excites you these days.

@Atul2, that's intended behavior described in the notes in the second post of this thread:
Quote:
- When you log out and have the system links hidden, you can relogin by visiting the main.php page with these attributes: main.php?g2_view=core.UserAdmin&g2_subView=core.UserLogin&g2_return=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.returnURL.com where returnURL is the site to which you want to redirect after logging in.
@Anil, I'm doing PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Mootools, CSS, (X)HTML, AJAX, XML, Regex, FCKeditor, Adobe Photoshop, ImageReady and 3DStudio Max. So PHP very often, but not Gallery2 API + smarty.

I have a few questions about your screenshot "how the firstPage of the natureTheme could look":
1) You have links to "contact", "info" and "news" on the top left. Are these external pages that don't share the gallery's theme (i.e. don't use the site templates)?
2) How do you create the boxed information on the to the left (the leftmost column) and below the welcome text?
3) I have been trying to put additional static content on the front page using the "ALBUM: 1st Page Message" option in the theme control panel. I have been unable to get anything to work. I get a link that that shows up on the right or left beneath the welcome text that says "Click to hide..." if you hover over it, but it does nothing when you click on it. I have been unable to find a Nature or PGtheme site that shows how this feature is supposed to work. I'll be grateful for any tips.

Hi mukasama,

2) You can see the complete left side as the welcome text, so create all content in "author.tpl"
3) I never used this feature so I'm afraid it isn't supported by the theme.
When you have been able to create a front page looking like the screenshot and am willing to share it here, please do ;)

The code of my demo seems to be the same as the downloadable package.
But I saw there are misplaced semicolon on line 79 and 80 in modules/search/templates/local/SearchScan.tpl :
document.getElementById("searchingPage").style.display = "none;"
document.getElementById("resultsPage").style.display = "block;"
should be
document.getElementById("searchingPage").style.display = "none";
document.getElementById("resultsPage").style.display = "block";
(I've updated the downloadable archive)
please report if this solves the problem.

Sorry to hear that. But I don't think I can help you with this all as I don't do gallery2 development anymore.
Maybe you can find a developer at http://sourceforge.net/services/project_services.php?project_id=7130
Good luck.
