Serendipity Forums

Some questions are left concerning the Gallery Disply Plugin (serendipity_event_usergallery):


- Why is the second row of photos far below the first row? (see http://blog.substream-musik.de/index.ph ... reamParty/)

- Choosing the "Media Library" Style, how can I get rid of the Filter Options and all the drop down menus at the top of the page? And if I can get rid of it, I guess they also don't appear in the admin-section, right?!

- Is there another possibility of uploading pictures than searching for each one seperately? Maybe another plugin I didn't find or is it possible to load the pics via ftp into the upload-folder and somehow import them to the mediagallery?

Thanks a lot so far!

substream, it looks like the problem with the thumbnails being so far a part is because of the theme you are using... I'm not a css/xhtml person but it looks to me like there is no "content" wrapper around the center of the the theme. This means the browser sees it as row:sidebar:row instead of content:(row:row):sidebar (where the rows are inside the content element).

Which theme are you using? I can fiddle with the template to see if I can get it to work.

There is a way to change the Media Library style: you can fiddle with copies o f the media_*.tpl files in templates/default/admin. (I would recommend copying them into your own theme before you make any changes to them.) I haven't played with them, so I'm not sure what impact each file has.

And yes, you can upload files in batch. If you are using 1.0.x you can ftp them into your uploads directory and then run the "Rebuild thumbs" option on the admin menu. If you are using a 1.1_beta you should be able to just upload them and then go into the Media library.

Thanks a lot!

I am using the "andreas00" theme. Your explanation sounds quite logically, I came cross this mistake some times before... Is there a possibility to include a wrapper into this theme?

I'll try playing with the media templates and see what it can do, thanks!

And great thing, uploading directly into the folder. I tried it without rebuildign the thumbs, so it didn't work. Sometimes I'm close...

Ok, after playing with the "andreas00" theme, it seems more complicated than that... Carl did a good job with the theme, and it does wrap content.

I'll fiddle with it and see what I can do.

Ok, I found a solution... The Andreas00 theme doesn't force any formating on the serendipity_entry div...

If you copy the file serendipity_event_usergallery.css from the plugins/serendipity_event_usergallery directory into the /themes/andreas00 directory, then open it and add:
That should get you working. You can also set the width to a pixel value, of course (or set margins, padding etc.) to get the main page looking the way you like.

Like I said, I'm not an html/css guy, so I'm just telling you what I got working... If anyone knows a better way, please speak up...

(Oh, I also fixed an error in usergallery which should help your site be closer to xthml valid. If you update to 1.99 (probably available tomorrow at the latest) you should get the changes....)

Thanks Matthew, this is it. Works perfectly.

Hi guys,
thanks to this forum and Garvin I finally managed to update my blog to 1.1. Boy what a jump.
I used the new feature to rename a media folder. Everything worked fine, folder name and links got updated.

Only with Gallery Display (using 2.23) there is a slight issue. Here is the screenshot. I removed the names of the other folders on that screenshot. Now when I look at my folder tree in Gallery Display the folder list is not correctly sorted by names anymore. The one folder I renamed (07 Segovia) is now displayed out of order. Is there a way how I can force Gallery Display to list the folders by names again? Or is there any work around? I might rename more folders but I wish to keep the order as it is.

I am happy and thankful for any hint.

A small question at the end. I didn't want to open a new post for ths one. Does somebody know how I can renumerate my comments? Due to trackback spaming the comment ids do not anymore represent the number of total comments. The last comment has the id92 but it is only the 50th comment. I know it is just a cosmetic issue I guess. Therefore I didn't want to open a new post.

Thanks a lot!
This is a great forum and s9y kicks some serious behinds .

I've just patched the User Gallery plugin to output the directories alphabetically in 1.1, regardless of order they are entered/renamed. Sorry I missed that.

The new version is 2.3, and should be available from spartacus pretty soon.

Unfortunately I have no idea about the comment reenumerate question. This is probably something that seems easy to do but is actually pretty difficult (because of threaded comments, etc). Garvin might have a better idea, though.
