Theme: GreyDragon - v.4.0.2

I'm not quite sure... is it the same as [3D tag cloud]?
Attached is the one I am using

I like some of the SmugMug concepts but not all. I have a friend using them to and this drove me toward Picnik on-line editor.
I am trying integrate it with G3...

Now to original discussion... let's dissect the frog...

SM recompute layout when user resize the window - in some strange way, but still - look at number of pages pictures are displayed in. On one of my secondary monitors simple maximizing of the browser screen would change it from 5 to 4.
It would be hard, if not impossible, to do with G3.
if you look at the source there will be a lot of JS referenced... Do not like it.
Plus I think G3 is not yet up to the challenge with the speed...

Page you have referenced is actually an individual photo page with thumb navigator on the side.
Album page would be this http://adventureplus.smugmug.com/Canoe-Kayak and I am not sure if we would want that layout.
Thumb navigator module would be nice to have. I hope someone would bring it over from G2.

Please dont do that. Screen size has often nothing to do with the canvas size of the browser.

Your attempt of visualizing albums as a pile of pictures look great - when is it available?

serge..your add photo box is screwed up again..please see the attachment.

does it for me at 1280X720 & 1024X768...

seems like it worked..check out the attachment.

@Shemo725: will be available in next release
@pinn8: depend. if you need to change html, then I need mockup, if it is just CSS, then you can do it through color pack.

@pinn8: just to confirm - put name of the item under the thumb and make it always visible.
Ok, but it would not be a default state though, you would need to turn it on via Admin panel.

@SergeD -- Yes, and I agree that it should be turned on via admin panel.

@micrographics: At the moment I am only maintaining GreyDragon (and no maintenance for GreyDragon Wind).

am I on schedule now? 8^)

2.1.0 was released Saturday (with color pack support)
2.1.1 is coming with a few fixes and support for thumb with description - as soon as it is ready ( let's say today/tomorrow)

I have extended Theme description on Codex page with a little more info about color packs.
Please feel free to ask for any additional information.

I would also appreciate any help in creating new color packs and extending [wind] edition.

serge..the new version is looking good. I like the new thumbnails with the hover.

version 2.1.1 is out in the wild. Enjoy.

• increase size of Add photo dialog to fit some lower resolutions.
• ADMIN: New option: "Thumb: Item's Title Display Mode" - specifies how to display item's title in thumbs

Like the theme - vote

cannot access the picture
try attaching it in the post

yes, in your case you have big copyright info, which pushes rest of the rows out
I will try to enable scrolling...

in the mean time, open forms.css and modify overflow: hidden to overflow: auto for
.html_ajax#sb-content>div

Nice shot!

SergeD: your CSS tweak works. In addition to the Copyright notice, I also have a bunch of keywords set for each of my images, which were not appearing until I modified the CSS. I put them in there so the images are searchable by keyword.

@pinn8: sample URL? I do not see it using your prior links or glancing around the gallery

@MtnBiker: well, it does add more info, but I can come up with better wording For the caption thing... it is feature of G3 itself on import of the photo. You could however edit individual photo and remove filename from the title.

I renamed it to [Bottom]
I have no control over item's title field. It is populated by the import process for you.
I would be reluctant to put a hack into theme to check if caption match file name.
I think it should be an option of the import process, if anything.
If you have access to MySQL, just run an update statement for the field to clear it out in this case.
And I would suggest to file enhancement request for G3

@micrographics: sorry for late response...

I do not see this issue per se. If you visit my web-site you would see copyright having two rows (<br /> in the copyright message) because site's credits would stretch the footer.
In your case you probably hidden the credits part.
Then you would need to force it.

I would suggest create your own color pack and put the following new rule in it

#g-footer { min-height: 4em; /* you may need 5em */ }

you could do the same by adjusting it in layouts.css. but then you would have to remember to bring it along on update.

Hi!

First, thanks for this great theme! I use it for testing gallery3 - great work!

Nevertheless, I would like to make some annotations ;-)

- There is an error in /css/screen.css on line 11. [...] font-family: Arial, veranda, [...] - should be verdana ;-)
- In the german version the word "Page" is not translated. Is this a static word?
- Portrait format images in the random image field are shown up in full portrait format, they are not croped to 4:3.
- You can only show three (3) columns of images in an album even if you disable the sidebar.
- It would be nice, if there is a way to use different graphical frames around images and albums like in gallery2.
It's a long time ago since I last edited gallery2's custom files, so I dont know if it's in gallery3 or if you need a plugin first.
- There is an issue in the dropdown-menue on the top (Home, Add, ...) if you switch to german language.
When you move over "Album options", the width of the dropdown menue is not enough - the german word of "enable notifications" juts out of the menue.
Maybe there should be an variable width.

That's it for now ;-) Thanks again for the great work.

Greetings!

And now tested under IE 9! It actually works!

Please clarify
you have descriptions under the thumbs. this is expected
what is not working?

ah. no, it was not an intention

Really enjoying use of 2.1.1 now. Nice work.

Couple of comments:

The "status message" bar that fades away after modifying album or photo is in a conflict with the "edit" dialog boxes in both album and photo page views.
Selection of the dialog box choice is restricted until message bar fades.
This consistent in Firefox 3.6 and off and on in Chrome.

If you moved a couple of items in the header on login screen the links would be more visible as the window is reduced in size -- not everyone runs higher than 1024x768, especially those with eye problems.

For example, Logged in as Gallery Administrator and Logout might be:

Logged in as Gallery Administrator
Logout

And for a new login, if you moved the position of Login to the left, it would also be more visible and obvious as window size is reduced.

By edit box you mean search? I do not see it happening on 1024x768. it is centered in the screen between logo and the search

I do not see it. Please provide more details. There is a restriction on main menu/login until JS is fully loaded (or attempt to do so for AJAX purposes), but rather then that "status message" should not prevent anything

Theme is designed to fit 1024 (and it is minimum requirement) so login should be fine on the right. If you'd like to move it elsewhere, create a new color pack and put a new rule there to move it around as you would like.
In general it is even possible to make low resolution/people with disabilities (there would be more rules there in this case) color pack and give visitor a choice to switch to use it at runtime as it is possible for sidebar positioning.
I will be willing to add such color pack in default install if someone is up to the challenge to develop one.

@SeverePlains: mmm, any change here would not help much
I did not want to use extra line for BC, but it is possible as with default Wind theme
I would think that more elegant solution would be to restrict individual BC element to let's say 15 chars with "..." at the end and ability to collaps remaining. Option could be provided to specify number of levels to display
Then yours would look like

Gallery > ... > 2005 Accounts > May 5 > Continued_lo...

It will even address issue of too many levels
