Smooth Gallery Module

[Stefek]

Yes this would be great.

I read a statement some time ago, that someone wanted to pick it up - but I can't remeber who and when exactly.

  too bad.

Well I mentioned this before in March

http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,7384.msg53592.html#msg53592

and you were right, there was a reaction of the builder regarding the same question:

I also have seen another statement. But I can't find it.

I don't know how much work it is to build it together. I am no coder at all (like you).

Good Luck!
(I would be glad too, if we had one).

[Boudi]

haha thnq you 

yes you are right, I'm a designer, not a coder.

I really hope that in the near future this V2.0 would be possible in WB too. Personally I think it would become the most popular image handler of WB then.

Me personally think it would be still 2 milliseconds after Imageflow,

BTW, I tested Smooth Gallery with WB 2.7 and it works without any flaws (on standard Apache server).

Hello,

I've just installed this module, and it looks good but................ ..
How the h*ll can I add a description for every picture?
This little thingy I can't find somehow, but need it really bad.
The option to give a gallery description is clear to me, but how to add a description for every image is something I don't understand.

Greetz,
Joop

Hi Joop,

Just put a short description as a photo name.

Example: This is a nice picture.jpg

Hey Boudi,

Hmmmm, to bad, that was not what I'm looking for.
I need to give it a full descripton...
Any Ideas of a gallery that does that?

Hell.
Take a look at the Image Gallery

But be aware: The newest Version is to find in this german thread:

Have Fun.

Hi together,

I downloaded the v0.9b of the smooth gallery and after fixing the problem with the imageantialias ( http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,5060.msg42200.html#msg42200 ) it works with all of the default templates. But I want to use the "Orange Sunset" ... And with that the left and right arrows are missing.

I still add the code for the register_frontend_m odfiles ( http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,5060.msg66713.html#msg66713 ), but that doesn't help.

Do you have any suggestions for me, please?

Thanks,

Mike

Hi,

I found the solution for my problem:

Two 'styles' are overwritten by the coulor.css from the orange_sunset template.

I have to make these two changes:

Code:

#content, #column2 a, #column2 a:hover
{
/* Mike: Default is

     background: transparent

    This contains implicit:

   background-color: transparent;
   background-image: none;
   background-repeat: repeat;
   background-attachment: scroll;
   background-position: 0% 0%;

  But we need only the -color:transparent ...

*/
  background-color: transparent;
  color: #70695A;
}

in the jd.gallery.css (the color for the 'Pictures' text will be overwritten if not)

Code:

.jdGallery a.carouselBtn
{
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    right: 30px;
    height: 20px;
    /*width: 100px; background: url('img/carousel_btn.gif') no-repeat;*/
    text-align: center;
    padding: 0 10px;
    font-size: 13px;
    background: #333;
 /* Mike: We must add an !important here to avoid the overwriting from the colour.css */
    color: #fff !important;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Ciao,
Mike

My apologies if someone has already asked this question, I have searched and cannot find the answer.

I have installed smooth gallery which is a really great module. However the thumbnails are not showing up. There are images in the folder I have the gallery pointed to and these are showing in the gallery. Where the thumbnails should be there are just empty boxes. When you click them they even work and change the image in the main gallery window, however the thumbnail images are just not showing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Best Regards,
Nicole

Hm ... could be a permission problem of the
folder/images and the place/folder for the thumbnails at all,
as the modul trys to generate them and failed without any messages.
Have you uploade the images via FTP or the WB-Backend (Media)?
You could also try to set up the PHP-Error-Level in the Admin Backend (options -> er. options) to "E_ALL & Stict"
and try to delete the Thumbnail-Cache in the Gallery-Module Backend.
If any ErrorMessages or Warnings coming up ... please let us know.

Regards
Aldus

Hi Aldus,

Thanks for your help. I have enables the PHP-Error-Level reporting and I'm now getting the following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: next_gallery in wb2.7/modules/smoothgallery/view.php on line 52
This just seems to be related to a second gallery which I don't have.

You can view the test gallery with the issue showing here:
http://dev.visionfactordesign.com/wb2.7/pages/smooth-gallery.php

I have checked permissions and that doesn't seem to be the problem. I even tried setting the gallery folder (media/gallery) to 777 temporarily to see if that helped. It didn't.

Thanks,

Nicole

As for the notice you can modify the line 52 inside the "view.php" as follow:

Code:

<?php // ignore this line ...
if (!isset($next_gallery)) $next_gallery = ""; $next_gallery.="start_$div_name();";
?>

without the <?php and ?> line ... as for the thumbnails, you can
try to delete the existing ones inside the "cache"folder of the module or try to "empty" them, after
setting the fild permission to 775 in the backend options. If it all doesn't work at all,
you can try to get the gLib-Version via the phpinfo() ... maybe the version is incorrect ...

Hi

I have The same Problem with the Tumbs ans i cant finde any error

[Boudi]

I know there are several reasons why sometimes thumbs are not shown (mostly in IE. In other browsers normally they do show up). Many times these errors are overlooked:

- image name: if it's a .jpg check if the name truely is .jpg and not .JPG (so no capitols)
- when upload with ftp: upload in auto mode, NOT binary of ASCII
- keep image names simple
- when resizing with a resizer tool, try another tool. I know for a fact that there are some resizers out there who creates thumbs/images that doesn't show up in the gallery even though all settings look right.

When all the above is complicated try saving thumbs etc. in .png format. Then most likely it will work.

Greetz,
Boudi

I Have Upload the images with the media Center from WB.

i have only upload the original images must i upload thumbs to?

[Boudi]

No, with Smooth Gallery that isn't needed. I was speaking in more 'overall' terms (when users have problems with thumbs/images in WB gallery mods)

Just check the points I just mentioned 

[Pumpi]

i have check it.
my problem is is see all Images at big size but the resizer dosent work i think while the chace Folder is empty an no thumbs shown in the gallery

[Boudi]

Do the following:

be sure you have the:

- Feed gallery tru resizer set to: TRUE
- Save the settings
- Go to ADMIN-TOOLS
- Click RELOAD ADD-ONS
- Check MODULES
- Click: RELOAD (and verify)
- Delete temp files from your browser
- close and re-open browser
- Check result

[Pumpi]

- Feed gallery tru resizer set to: TRUE

when i set it to true i see nothing no big images or thumps

[Boudi]

You only have to upload 1 'big' image. When setting this option to TRUE this same image will be shown smaller in the Smooth Gallery on your website page. When clicking on this image the original size then will be shown in another window or pop-up.
