New Theme: PowerBookG4

[Joachim Müller]

Wow, this is an extremely nice theme, especially the nav tabs are great.
However, I have to report an issue using v13 of the theme with Firefox (doesn't happen with IE) when going to any meta album (like "Last upload", "Last comments" etc.). See attached screenshot and the html output I get.

I don't think it's my theme GauGau. I can't reproduce it with firefox on the demo site.

HOWEVER, the demo site AND the forums have been running DOG slow for me.

I also downloaded the htm file, threw it in my cpg folder, and it renders just fine and doesn't show the problem you have a pic of.

Did you try refreshing the page when that happened?

[Joachim Müller]

our webhost sf.net is currently doing maintenance/server upgrades, that's why the site/forum is so slow currently - nothing we can do about this. Of course I tried refreshing, the same thing happens with all kinds of meta albums. Not sure if it's me, I'll check further at work on some other boxes. You can take a look for yourself: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/demo/index.php?theme=powerbookg4 - thanks in advance for further looking into this issue.

Installed the them here http://www.rondvierkant.nl/stoffelsite/thumbnails.php?album=lastup
And got a good result from it. GauGau could your problem be related to the server maintenance somehow?

[Casper]

I had the same result as Joachim, on about 3 out of every 5 reloads, when viewing the demo.
But I had no such problems with Heins site.

[Hein Traag]

Maybe reinstalling the theme on the demo site ? Or has that been done already ?

[Joachim Müller]

yes, I reinstalled the theme already. I'm not sure what's wrong, maybe it's just me. If anyone should experience issues similar to the ones I posted about, please reply. If nobody does, I guess this is somehow related to me being stupid .

Anyway, here are the "official" links:

• Demo
  
• Download

Still happening for me.  It even happened once on the album list, so it affects the entire menu, not just the meta albums.
Could it be related to the terrible server speed we are getting at sourceforge.

For what's is worth, - I dont see this problem on my site http://igel.it/gallery no matter how many times I reload.

I've tried sitting on the lan next to the server, - and a 768 K connection as well as a 256 K line.... I dont' see the problem at all.

[donnoman]

I haven't seen the problem either, even on the demo site.

I am assuming everybody has upgraded to the released version of FF, and not using the preview still?

[Joachim Müller]

happens on FF1.0 as well as 0.9 (localized German versions). I'll install the english version on an english Windoze box tomorrow at work and re-check.

donnoman, this is awesome work. Thank you.

Question: How do I add an additional menu option? I want to add an option to send a user to another website.

I want it to be to the left of "My Gallery" or to the right of "Search".

Ideas?

BTW, my gallery is at http://wwgallery.dungeonkeepersdomain.com/index.php

[donnoman]

In powerbookg4 you can simply modify the button array so for example if you edit theme.php and
find:

Code Select Expand


// {HREF_LNK}{HREF_TITLE}{HREF_TGT}{BLOCK_ID}
addbutton($main_menu1_buttons,'{MY_GAL_LNK}','{MY_GAL_TITLE}','{MY_GAL_TGT}','my_gallery');


replace with:

Code Select Expand


// {HREF_LNK}{HREF_TITLE}{HREF_TGT}{BLOCK_ID}
addbutton($main_menu1_buttons,'Forum','dungeonkeepers forum','http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com/forum','forum_link');
addbutton($main_menu1_buttons,'{MY_GAL_LNK}','{MY_GAL_TITLE}','{MY_GAL_TGT}','my_gallery');


Will give you a button before the my gallery button. the fourth option "block_id" needs to be there, has to be unique, but other than that can be whatever you want; it isn't used by coppermine for the custom buttons you make.

Sweet!! Thank you very much.

Hello,

I got your theme. Very very nice! However, I was only after the Aqua theme, so I got rid of the laptop screen "look and feel"(I hope you don't mind). I made further changes to it (e.g. main menu items) but now I am stuck with the resize facility. I can resize fine the width through the admin configuration or even through the style sheets but I CAN"T change the height!.

I need the gallery to be about 280px height. I know that having more albums it wouldn't fit in that small space and that's why I would like an auto scrolling to come up for content that exceeds that size. I simply can't figure out how to do it. I tried all the possible (I guess) options in the style.css in the part where it defines the width. Changes to height simply don't work.

Could you be so kind to help me out on this? Is it possible in the first place? Maybe this is a feature that Coppermine doesn't support?

Thank you in advance.

post a link to your gallery, I'm having a hard time visuallizing what the problem is.

[fraula]

Hello,
sorry I've been away and in the meanwhile I forgot my password for this forum and also to renew hosting for my gallery.... :-\\

Now that I got a new password and just renewed the hosting space, I will post the link to the gallery a.s.a. they enable my account again. 

I hope you will be able to help me with this resize height issue.

Thanks
F.

Hello,
I'm back. They enabled again my space on the hosting server therefore my miserable attempt of setting up this gallery is up on display again. http://www.picturestudio.biz/gallery/

Now, all I wanted is to be able to keep the height at 280px regardless how many rows/categories I'll add. Basically I'd love to define the height to 280px and if the page exceeds, to have a scroll bar. Is it possible? You might wonder why I want it like that. That's because I want to create the other pages of the website as stickers and have a sense of consistency when I want to view the gallery section.

The only solution I could think of so far, is to create an iframe and then load Coppermine gallery inside that.

I really hope you can help me, guys. I need to finish off this website at some point...in my life ;-)

Thanks

I can't think of a way other than an I-Frame. I think your going to have to go that direction.
