Thanks for any info.

Use "ICE Carbon Icons" colorpack.

First of all, ICE is such a pretty theme. Thanks very much for that!

Refer to your site - http://www.3dserver.net/gallery2/index.php/v/FloatingItems/, the no. of photos per row/column are automatically adjusted depending on the size of the browser.

I followed the setup as shown in "ICE_FloatingItems.jpg". Nevertheless, my page doesn't have the wrapping effect as I adjusted the size of the browser. There is only one pictures in certain rows in some cases.

Appreciate your advice on this!

Not all thumbnails have the same size (100x100), i see this in in "Gallery 2.3 Nightly"-Versions. Must be a bug in square thumb module...

FYI - It works just fine in IE7, just not in IE6.

how would i add in a browser version check so that anything IE6 and under would display a "get FF" message? i've tried tweaking in theme.tpl, but nothing has worked :(

Thanks for your prompt response!

I've actually disabled square thumbnail module (so that I can have non-square thumbnails for my other albums) and crop the thumbnails one by one for each pic.

If I cut crop all the thumbnail with 100x100, would this resolve the issue?

Thanks a lot once again!

I think so...

Thanks for the info, the carbon icons are now showing up - but the background is charcoal colour - not like the ice theme in the screenshots. How can I get this background? Is there another colorpack I need?

Thanks

Maybe a caching problem?

Can you post a screenshot or link?

Perfect! Thanks very much for your help.
The only thing I would like to change now is to remove the extra space at the bottom of the page. Which file should I edit to do this? the css maybe?

(my last question...I promise!)

Replace in theme.css:

body.gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
min-height: 1024px;
}

with:

body.gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Hi,
how can I move the "Blocks to show on album pages (below description)"from the left side of the page to the right side.
I looked through the css file, but couldnt find it.

This is not so simple, you have to edit the "album.tpl" template...

My users have emailed me about a problem with Ice theme and Safari browser, the 'Item actions' in the side bar get jumbled up with 'Links to album/photo peers' and become unreadable. This seems to be because the side bar panel is semi-transparent in Safari. Is there away to eliminate the sidebar transparency?

Thanks for any info

Nice bug in the safari browser...

Edit "theme.css" and replace:

#microThumbCurrent img.giThumbnailIce{
  margin: 1px;
  padding: 3px;
  opacity: 0.4;
  filter: alpha(opacity=40); /* IE's opacity*/
}

with:

#microThumbCurrent img.giThumbnailIce{
  margin: 1px;
  padding: 3px;
}

Optionally, you can remove all blocks from "Blocks to show in the sidebar" and try the "item action fallback mode" (icons module and an icon pack must be installed)...

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it didn't seem to work, the links are still jumbled and now in addition the gallery logo has also vanished.
Please see attached screen grab.
I'm getting around the problem by using the drop down menu option - but it looks very odd.

Hi Boner!
The ICE theme is perfect. This was exactly what im lookin for!
I have one question: I have framed images - and i want that the thumbnails do not include parts of the frame.
Is it possible to ajust the thumbnail module so that the images will be zoomed 30% before they will be made? So that the thumbnail will be taken of a middle part of the image!

Try to remove all entries of "opacity:" in the "theme.css" style sheet.

I don't see this effect on "Safari 3.0.3 for Windows".

Maybe, i don't know. Please, ask this question in the "Module Development" forum.

Thanks Boner

Definitely not working in Safari on Mac - strange, you'd really think the Mac version would behave as the Windows one does.
I will try to remove the opacity entries later.

OK - the version of Safari my users and I have is 2.0
The one you are using is the beta release of 3.
So I guess the side bar opacity glitch will go away when everyone upgrades to 3 (I hope it makes it out of beta soon so it will download in the auto apple software updates).

Because my users are all artists they seem to favour Macs - as do I, especially now you can boot back and forth from OSX to XP to test sites in different browsers :)

I've been tweaking the slide show module files (header.tpl and slidehow.tpl) and managed to get the default image larger but can't find a way to centre it. I've read elesewhere that the slideshow layout is mostly controlled by the theme.css. I was wondering which bits of Ice theme css file I should alter to centre the slideshow output? I know PG theme has quite an elaborate slideshow using customized files and additional css - but this is overkill for me and my users. Just a large centred image is enough. The way you have the slideshow configured on your demo site is absolutely perfect.
How did you achieve this?

one more question:

is it possible to show file names only when the oject is an album? - so not at images?
is it also possible to show the click counter on the photo page?

one feature request:
reflections of the thumbnails? with a little distance to the next row

Thanks for sharing the slideshow tweak. It works great. Is it possible to also centre the images vertically? Maybe by sticking a single cell table around them?

Hi, thanks for this fabulous theme. Could someone please help to answer my following question?
In the demo page, (http://www.3dserver.net/gallery2/index.php), I found that when your mouse hover some icon or pictures, there are some dynamic changes, such as change the icon color or add a frame to the photo. But in my side, there is no such effect, where does this come from?

Many thanks!

Remove all blocks from "Blocks to show in the sidebar" in "Site Admin" -> "Themes", icons module and an icon pack (silk) must be installed...

Search for title="{$title}" in the templates and replace {$title} with blank .

Change the photo.tpl and replace

{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
          item=$theme.item
          showDate=$theme.params.showDate
          showOwner=$theme.params.showImageOwner
          class="giInfo"}

with:

{g->block type="core.ItemInfo"
          item=$theme.item
          showDate=$theme.params.showDate
          showOwner=$theme.params.showImageOwner
          showViewCount=$theme.params.showViewCount
          class="giInfo"}

Just an FYI, you will need to modify your sidebar.tpl and module.tpl files for Gallery 2.3 (in SVN now) as follows:

in both, remove:
{g->block type="core.NavigationLinks" class="gbBlock"}

Thanks, I tried, but I found that those effects I described before only shows up at Firefox, but not in IE, even I add the icon module in. Does anybody meet this problem? Can IE do this as well?

could anyone please help to adjust those wider and put them below the photo? thanks.

Hello, thanks for the great theme, I am using it on my site right now at:
http://www.picvault.org/gallery/

I just have some question on modifying the theme to fit my needs

1. instead of 100% width that depend on resolution. I would like to set a fixed width, so that it is consistent with my wordpress width. Also I would like to specify a fixed width for the left side panel and also a fixed width for the right side display. How can I achieve this?

2. This is an unrelated question, but I hope someone can answer... How do I remove/add items from the "item action" menu, for guest access specifically.

Thanks a lot!

Love this theme.

Only issue I seem to be having (and it could well be me) is that whatever I change the row and columns to, they don't seem to actually affect the layout.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Sure? Looks like you added this to "Blocks to show on photo pages (below description)", this is a different block...

Boner, are you still planning to add the ice theme to gallery-contrib such that users can install it without any manual FTP steps? :)

Looking forward to seeing your theme in site admin -> plugins -> get more plugins!

BBcode tags don't seem to work with Ice theme.
List and Bullet in particular - but insert BBcode buttons also cause the cursor to jump to the title box.
Maybe a CSS conflict?

In "Apple Safari Browser"? In Firefox, Opera and IE it works fine.

Well, I tested this in Internet Explorer 6 and Firefox on a PC and both the Bullet Point and List BBCode are not displayed correctly. With bullet points the BBCode is displayed in the output and the text enclosed in the list tags does not appear at all.
I used the 'add comment' option on your demo site: http://www.3dserver.net/gallery2/
The jumping cursor seems to be a safari specific problem.

I haven't tested this in any other theme yet - but it could well be a general gallery2 bug.
I'm going to try and comment out these functions while they are broken - hardly anyone uses them anyway.
