Changing the Film Strip settings

[freesouljah]

Hi,

When I upgraded my cpg the other day, I noticed that the filmstrip went from showing the thumbnails horizontally to vertically.

I searched the boards, but couldn't find the solution or even a spot where I could change the column or row settings of the film strip.

for an example of the current settings you can go to http://www.staticfiends.com/photos/displayimage.php?p=115

Any ideas?


Thanks

It works ok in classic, so must be something in your custom theme.

thanks for your response 

do you know what code I can play around with to get it back to horizontal?  the theme I am using is a tweaked eyeball...for reference...



thanks again

Your theme is too narrow (or the sidebars both on the left and right are too wide). This is the relevant output

<!-- End standard table -->The difference is obvious: in your custom theme, there's an additional <span> section. I guess you will have to wrap the whole enchilada in a <div> block with css attributes that tell the browser to align the content horizontally.

I feel like such a putz....lol

after trying to do your prescribed fix, and failing a few times...I decided to just re-modify a fresh copy of the eyeball theme.php...and that is when I figured out what was causing the problem.  It turned out to be the Stable URL's to the images (to please search engines)....so it actually had nothing to do with the update  

I just copied and pasted the same code that was supposed to be in the "theme_display_thumbnails" function -- into the  "theme_display_film_strip" function....so the

Code Select Expand

'{CAPTION}' => $thumb['caption'], instead of

Code Select Expand

'{CAPTION}' => '', was adding that extra span...


thanks for all your help...even though I shouldn't have needed it

Well, we all have our moments. To redeem ourselves, we let others know how to avoid those moments. Thank you for sharing the solution.

[freesouljah]

no problemo...

I seem to have quite a few "moments"...they do help me learn   usually by showing me that I don't know everything...
