Hello, I am having a few issues that I cannot resolve with my gallery. I had originally posted about my album name display issue here: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/85606. Basically, I do not want image names to appear when viewing an album. I would for it to always show the album name. I have beat my head on this issue for days now. If someone could look at my album.tpl and theme.css to see what I'm doing wrong, I'd appreciate it.

As for "Portrait shots display," if you look at my gallery: www.mikecnichols.com/gallery/gallery2/main.php, when you look at a shot that is portrait size (vertical), the player does not show the entire image as it does with landscape sized (horizontal) ones. The image bleeds under the bottom album thumbnails and it cuts off about 1/3rd of the image. It forces the user to click on it and enlarge to view the entire image. I have poked around with this issue but cannot find where to start fixing it.

My last problem is with thumbnail sizes. In my Admin and in the Album properties, I have set my thumbnail size to 300 instead of 150 and I checked the appropriate boxes so that the current ones would be re-sized but they have not. I even deleted the album off and then re-uploaded it and they still were sized to 150. Is there another setting I am missing? Thank you for any help.

Below is the code from my "theme.css" and from the "album.tpl."

album.tpl : www.mikecnichols.com/gallery/gallery2/themes/ajaxian/templates/local/album.tpl

I have fixed this problem. In "theme.css," the '#main-image-container #sliding-frame p' attribute had a height of 470 originally. Once I changed this to 720, it resized the image container so that all of the image is shown now!

Since there were no suggestions for an easy fix, I just ended up labeling all photos the name of the album. It is not the solution I wanted, but it is the only thing I can get to work. Every other solution I've read in other threads and FAQs do not work and usually end up messing up the album loading properly.

To change thumbnail size in Ajaxian, in theme.css, look for the '#gsSubAlbumMatrix img.giThumbnail' attribute. You can change the width and height.

Hi I had the same problem and fixed like you way. But this is not the best solution i think. Because when you have a horizontal picutre you have a big break between the photo in the slidbarbox and the thumbnails.

I'm suching for an variable solution. So that the break between slidshow and thumbnais ist alway just a view px equal if it is vertical or horizontal.

Some ideas?
