Title: Changing the Film Strip settings
Post by: freesouljah on April 28, 2005, 06:40:10 pm: 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 8)

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 8)

Post by: Joachim Müller on April 29, 2005, 07:24:18 am: Your theme is too narrow (or the sidebars both on the left and right are too wide). This is the relevant output
your theme:
Code: [Select]
 <table align="center" width="" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="maintable"> <tr> <td valign="top" background='themes/eyeball/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" class="thumbnails" align="center"> <a href="displayimage.php?p=117"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave3.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave3.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave3.jpg Filesize : 30KB Dimensions : 550x413 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  <span class="thumb_title">Chris Cornell - Audioslave – 73 views</span><span class="thumb_title"><a href ="profile.php?uid=7005">Staticfiends.com</a></span> <a href="displayimage.php?p=116"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave2.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave2.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave2.jpg Filesize : 125KB Dimensions : 550x733 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  <span class="thumb_title">46 views</span><span class="thumb_title"><a href ="profile.php?uid=7005">Staticfiends.com</a></span> <a href="displayimage.php?p=115"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave.jpg Filesize : 95KB Dimensions : 550x733 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  <span class="thumb_title">Chris Cornell – 62 views</span><span class="thumb_title"><a href ="profile.php?uid=7005">Staticfiends.com</a></span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" background='themes/eyeball/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'> </td> </tr> </table> 
classic theme:
Code: [Select]
 <table align="center" width="" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable"> <tr> <td valign="top" background='themes/classic/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" class="thumbnails" align="center"> <a href="displayimage.php?album=20&pos=16"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave3.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave3.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave3.jpg Filesize : 30KB Dimensions : 550x413 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  <a href="displayimage.php?album=20&pos=17"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave2.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave2.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave2.jpg Filesize : 125KB Dimensions : 550x733 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  <a href="displayimage.php?album=20&pos=18"><img src="albums/audioslave/thumb_audioslave.jpg" class="image" height="125" border="0" alt="audioslave.jpg" title="Filename : audioslave.jpg Filesize : 95KB Dimensions : 550x733 Date added : Apr 20, 2005"></a>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" background='themes/classic/images/tile.gif' align="center" height='30'> </td> </tr> </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) (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=5832.0)....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]
'{CAPTION}' => $thumb['caption'], instead of
Code: [Select]
'{CAPTION}' => '', was adding that extra span...

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