New Theme: Greypop

Have you changed anything in the theme code that is close to the sidebar? Also what module are you using for that picture? On my site I turned on imageblock and it worked fine. Sadly I'm not sure what would cause this.

Are you sure your not using resized images. Lightbox uses them if they are the right size. Can you give me a link (even if it's all Italian) so I can look at what it's doing?

Is there a reason you don't want the resized image to have the watermark too? For some reason lightbox is picking up that there is a resize, but that resize is the same size as the original.

Hello,

Is there a way to use the link item plugin with the lightbox? When I click on the links the lightbox comes up and just does an endless loading loop. Ideally I would like to use both.

Thanks

Hello,

It's good to hear you get out and enjoy life instead of just answering questions here!

Link Item is one of the Gallery Plug-ins that uses a default graphic of a chain (links) and when you click it you are taken to the website you specified when you added the link.

So instead of clicking a thumbnail and seeing a picture it opens another website.

Hey,

I'm glad to hear this can work, but I know making the changes is outside my skill set with gallery right now. I don't mind waiting a few weeks so whenever you get the time to make the changes is fine. Thanks for the help and happy processing!

I keep seeing people mention editing the before and after.tpl files but none of my edits show up. I just did a test run by altering the "View Photo Page" to something else, but that change doesn't show up anywhere. I've dug through files and I have yet to find other files have that in them. The only before and after.tpl files that I have (after installing theme in gallery) is located in modules\lightbox\templates\blocks

Alright. Where do I need to place the new "local" directory so that I can place the edited versions there?

albumlight.tpl is in themes\greypop\templates
and before & after are in modules\lightbox\templates\blocks

Do I just make a new folder named "local" inside those folders?
(ie: themes\greypop\templates\local)

I just upgraded from gallery from 2.0.3 to the latest version and then upgraded your theme. Everything works just like it did, except the micro nav buttons. I have attached a screen shot of the "next" button way out to the side of the image. The "prev" button appears directly above the next button. Is there something I did wrong or need to set? BTW, we love your theme and the lightbox feature is way cool. Yes, we are behind the times but better late than never. Thanks for your hard work on this theme,

Hello,

lvthunder I know life can be busy and such, but have you had a moment to modify the files I need to modify or type up the change so I can make it to get your template working with the link plugin?

Thanks

(Question about 6-8 replies up)

Sweet!

Thanks for the link I only wish they would have published that a few months ago, but if it works it works

It's testing time!

Hi there,

I'm new to Gallery...I reckon it's bloody brilliant!

I have your theme on my website, thanks for sharing this great theme!

I see you used drupal for your site...I never knew about drupal until today, and I'm trying it now and really liking it!

Did you use a theme downloaded from the drupal site, or create your own, as it's exactly what I'm looking for to use on my personal website.

Thanks!

Ah ok...bummer...thanks anyway...oh and great job on the G2 theme, I love it!

Modified lightbox with slideshow (auto-advance) for greypop

I took the enhanced lightbox code written by Justin Barkhuff,
(http://www.justinbarkhuff.com/lab/lightbox_slideshow/) and made
the necessary changes to it so it would work in the greypop theme. I think its a better slideshow than other options I've seen.

See it in action here. (mine is customized a bit).

Attached below are the files needed. Drop them into you modules\lightbox folder
replacing the existing files that came with the greypop theme.

There are some customization options available and it would be nice to incorporate the options
into the lightbox admin config page but I haven't attempted to do that yet. For now you can
set the options in the lightbox.js file in modules/lightbox. The options from Justin Barkhuff's website are:

animate : resize animations; defaults to true
autoPlay : should slideshow start automatically; defaults to false
borderSize : if you adjust the padding in the CSS, you will need to update this variable; defaults to 10
containerID : lightbox container object; defaults to document
enableSlideshow : enable auto-playing slideshow feature; defaults to true
googleAnalytics : track individual image views using Google Analytics (requires Google Analytics code to be installed); defaults to false
imageDataLocation : specifies the location of the caption information (north or south of the image); defaults to south
initImage : ID of image link to automatically launch when upon script initialization; defaults to an empty string
loop : whether to continuously loop slideshow images; defaults to true
overlayDuration : time to fade in shadow overlay; defaults to .2
overlayOpacity : transparency of shadow overlay, can be any value between (and including) 0 and 1; defaults to .8
prefix : ID prefix for all dynamically created html elements; if you change this, you must also update the CSS selectors in lightbox.css; defaults to an empty string
relAttribute : string that specifies the rel attribute value that triggers lightbox; defaults to 'lightbox'
resizeSpeed : controls the speed of the image resizing (1=slowest and 10=fastest); defaults to 7
showGroupName : show group name of images in image details; defaults to false
slideTime : time (in seconds) to display images during slideshow; defaults to 4
strings : object that allows for localization; when customizing this, all string object properties must be defined; defaults to:
{ closeLink : 'close', loadingMsg : 'loading', nextLink : 'next »', prevLink : '« prev', startSlideshow : 'start slideshow',stopSlideshow : 'stop slideshow',numDisplayPrefix : 'Image',numDisplaySeparator : 'of' }

For more on the above options, check http://www.justinbarkhuff.com/lab/lightbox_slideshow/ . The only thing I changed is autoplay to default to false so that user has to click "Start Slideshow" for it to auto-advance.

Enjoy and thanks to lvthunder for the great theme and Justin Barkhuff for the lightbox mod.

Hi,
I would like to use the navigation menu items to provide more information about my album photos.
There will be a link called: "INFO" above the breadcrump navigation.
Unfortunatly I found it very difficult to style the link item.
In the greypop theme.css I found the 'gsMenu div.gbSystemLinks span' where I can add a border or a background to the link, put I can't figure out how to just simply change the font color.

Another problem is, that the link opens in the same window, how to I have to change the theme, that the link will open in a seperate window or opens with a java script like highslide ?

Hope somebody knows an answer
Regards Peter

Thanks for the fast ultra answer.
I just installed firebug. Very helpful

Typing www.xxx.com/path target="_blank" is unfortunatly not working.

Line 56+57 in theme.tpl is:
<span class="block-core-SystemLink">
<a href="{$theme.navLinks[menu]}">{$theme.navItems[menu]}</a>

I changed it into:
<a href="{$theme.navLinks[menu]}" target ="_blank">{$theme.navItems[menu]}</a>

Works great.
Thanks Peter

You must activate the lightbox module and turn lightbox on in the theme options.

Lightbox is included with the theme. It should be in the modules folder. You would need to enable it from the plugins page. It uses the title of the images in ligtbox. There shouldn't be a problem with image sizes. What size images are you planning on using.

just click edit image and there is a spot to set a title.

It worked fine for me in IE7. I can't try IE6 because I have Vista.

Never mind! I changed it to the "grey pop" frame, and now it's fine. Thanks so much for all your help, and for creating such a wonderful theme-- it's by far the best I've seen!

I have updated the theme to version 1.3.3. This version changed lightbox so it can work alongside of jquery. For some reason I can no longer edit the first post in this thread. You can find it here.

As far as I know that's part of the slideshow module. Look at the templates in that module.

I've got a little problem. I've installed and applied Greypop to Gallery, and under the Site Admin page, everything looks fine...however, when I go to the actual album, the theme has not been applied to anything.
I've saved the "Default theme" as greypop...but nothing happens...

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, so I've got the theme working now...but on the main page, It says:

I've searched all over to find out how to change this string, but I can't find it in any of the files. Any idea of where it is?

Here's my gallery so far:
http://www.sorcerers2.net/kitrax/gallery

I've got Cooliris installed, so whenever I click the "Slideshow" link, it automatically opens in Cooliris...but some of my friends have mentioned that the slideshow isn't working for them... Do users *have* to have the Cooliris browser add-on installed to view it correctly?
