.Mac web gallery theme

Hi,

Thanks for pointing out these bugs, I'll try to sort them out this Monday (going on a small trip over the weekend).

And hope to have a first relaese done in next week.

Please have a look at my devel page and report all bugs you can find.

Sorry, but the database should be up and running again!

A couple bugs I found on the photo information page (the page you get to after clicking the 'i' icon)

1. In FF3, the image doesn't center - while in IE7 it does. Probably a CSS issue?
2. Resizing the photo to a bigger size causes it to flow out of the page, and cover the controls. IE7 manages to crop the image to stay on the page, but really, the page should expand vertically to fit the entire image.

New trac page is now up here!

To checkout the latest source issue:

rm -rf themes/pear
svn co http://pear.erlis.se/svn/trac/ themes/pear

Or just download the pear.zip file here (you might want to rename the containing dir trunk to pear but it really shouldn't matter). This link will always give you the latest svn version..

In latest update transperent png's seems to be working for IE>7 but we seems to have a bug for IE7 now when displaying an Album without images..

Yes, please report all issues in the new trac database, with as much information as possible.

This is really awsome. Great job.
Is there a list of features to be added?

MobileME/.Mac stops text highlighting any plans to add that to the .pear code?
Maybe include and album frame or a png overlay for the albums to get the rounded square corner and beveled look.

Something I'd love is the theme in different colors or a way to set the background color from the admin. Black is cool for apple, but I'd love to do white or gray controlled from the admin, and not just the image window, but the header and footer.

Erlis,

I wasn't able to update my ticket on trac, but i was able to figure it out. When i downloaded the latest trunk version, i renamed the folder "Pear". Evidently, it doesn't like the capital P. As soon as I changed it to "pear", everything works great.

Thanks for this great theme. Keep up the good work!

Well, most of the ice theme is rewritten.. I've just started with it since it had the looks I were trying to achieve.

You did mention that you wanted to get the skimming to work even for other themes. I've been in contact with Myles who is working on a plugin to handle skimming. Perhaps it will be possible to get skimming by just including a specific block when his plugin is finished.

I really would hope that the theme could be considered finished but I can't get it to look good and work in IE. If anyone know a good IE layout tool or have experience with IE compatibilities please let me know.

I would call it beta, there are some minor bugs in Firefox/Safari, but the real problems comes from IE. And I'm not that familiar on how to fix the current bugs in IE.

I've got alot to do at work right now so I don't really have time to address the bugs either.

With the file 'here' and changing it to be called pear this is the errors i get

What version of Gallery2 are you running? The zip file generated from http://pear.erlis.se/trac/changeset/latest/trunk?old_path=/&filename=pear&format=zip should work (you might have to rename the trunk dir and install the theme in the preference panel).

When it's more IE friendly (I've had alot to do at work lately so I have not had time to finish it).

Sounds strange.. Try to re-download the theme.

You don't have any permission issues?

It sounds good that the theme is closing up to stable on IE7.

I'm not planning to support IE6 more than just showing an alern and perhaps a download link to IE7 or Firefox. There are simply to much work to make the theme IE6 friendly.

(Perhaps can we make a lite version for the poor bastards still using IE6).

Apparently the Gallery framework does not support this, but I've seen some implementations of using different css:es based on browser versions. Perhaps we can find a solution even for this. Unfortunate I've got so much to do at work so I won't have time to fix the last few bugs before the end of this year.

Okay I finally got this theme to work, however, when i try to view an image like click on an album, then the thumb, its blank... also theirs no reflection working, with the theme ebony, everything works fine, same with the default themes

I've been flooded with work lately hence the theme isn't finished.

Well..

The problem with gallery in general is that you have to access the images from album view and that is perhaps not possible. I've moved away quite a bit from the ICE theme in order to achieve what have come to be the Pear theme.

My suggestion for you are to look at the source code of Pear and try to figure out all "the magic" (yes some parts are even magic for me ).

You are welcome to send me messages or PM if you have any more specific questions.

P.S.

This is what I use to do the prefetching (found in album.tpl).

<script type="text/javascript">
  // <![CDATA[
  var slideshowImages = new Array();
  {foreach from=$theme.children key=i item=it}
    {if (!$it.canContainChildren && $it.entityType != 'GalleryLinkItem' && $it.entityType != 'GalleryMovieItem')}
    slideshowImages.push(new Array('{if isset($it.resizedId)}{g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem"
      arg2="itemId=`$it.resizedId`" htmlEntities=false}{else}{g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1="itemId=`$it.id`"
      htmlEntities=false}{/if}','{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$it.id`"}','{$it.resizedWidth}','{$it.resizedHeight}'));
    {/if}
  {/foreach}
  // ]]>
</script>

And of course a javascript to do all the actual loading (found in pear.js).

function preFetch()
{
        for (var i = 0; i < slideshowImages.length; i++) {
                var tempImage = new Element('img', {'src': slideshowImages[i][0]});
        }
}

Then you just have to do a img swatch (have a look at line 86 in pear.js).

D.S.

I really like this theme but can't use it correctly. Just as OldVolks above, no albums or images are shown in IE7. There is a script error when using IE quite early in the rendering. It doesn't work even if you browse directly to an album.

Using Google chrome gets me further. Albums and thumbnails are shown, but when clicking on a thumbnail, the image is blank. Clicking on the information button (i) gets you to show the image though. Not really sure what's going on there.

Firefox behaves the same way as Chrome.

Any pointers are welcome

Running the latest revision (61), I have also seen that IE 7 and 8 both work pretty decently with the theme.

@OldVolks and legis2:
Are you sure you have the latest revision?
You can check out the latest from http://pear.erlis.se/svn/trunk/

nice, you are back!
there are so many problems i am having with this, it would be great to have a working one soon

Anybody having the last revision laying around? The theme looks to be gone from erlis.se, so if somebody could post the last revision I would be more than happy!

Well, I don't really have time to complete this project even if I had quite fun on the run..

I have synced the entire project from trac to google code (new url will be: http://pear4gallery.googlecode.com).

Don't really know what to do with the issues in trac, should I export them so they can be imported to google code as well?

Please keep me posted if you have any concerns where I might help, but the browser comparability jungle killed my intrest.
