I really like this skin - thank you for creating this. I was curious if there was an easy way to disable the sliding sidebar and have it static on all pages? I noticed the sidebar is implemented as such on admin pages but was unsure how to apply this (easily) on the user end.

Does anyone know how to turn all the date time info and leave only the album name? I love the carbon theme, but I want to tighten it up a little bit, and I could not find this option in the carbon config panel. Please know, I may need some clear instructions because I have not been doing this for long.
BY the way- Awesome THeme!

kaj7979, search for core.ItemInfo in themes/carbon/templates/album.tpl and you'll find some values you can change from true to false.

mindless, I changed the tpl file to an html and edited in nvu as you specified. The only problem is that I now do not know how to turn it back into a tpl file. If I change it by renaming it, it just says 'album.tpl.html.' Any ideas?

kaj7979, If you are using Windows Explorer and not able to see the real file extensions, you can simply go to "Tools" -> "Folder Options" and "View" tab, then un-check "Hide extensions for known file types". Now you should be able to change the extension easily.

[/b]Hello Mincel,
Hi everyone

I really wanted to congratulate you for this excellent Theme !!
I am currently migrating from another Gallery programm to this one and your theme makes it all the more interesting !!

Nevertheless I still have one open question after having read all the posts concerning the carbon Theme :

>> HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE/ENABLE the SLIDESHOW view in the teme like on your page ???

I really need this option to make it perfect and it might help other people too !!
Thanks in advance
Ps : here is the link to my gallery (its still fresh install since I have to migrate ...)

It is possible, but you should extract all the code which are related to exif from the theme files.

Thank you for your quick response.
But I am not sure of what you mean exactly :
I have the PANORAMA Module installed and in the contributors section I dont seem to find anything called Slideshow module.

Could you please be so kind as to give me a direct link to where I can find your MODULE ?

Thank you so Much

Mincel, I get an error when I do exactly as you said. I put the album.tpl back in the folder in place of the other one, and I get a smarty error as follows:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in gallery:themes/carbon/templates/album.tpl line 13]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: g->theme include="sidebar.tpl" (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 436) in /home/*******/public_html/gallery/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1088

Any ideas?

kaj7979, that means when you edited the file you introduced an error.. maybe post line 13 of your album.tpl and a few lines above/below.

Okay- it worked thanks! I have a couple of other questions to get everything set up just right.

1. I am curious though- where do I place the local folder to drop the edited album.tpl. I havent done this.

2. How do I change the intro screen text on the left hand side. I would like to put some welcome words. Any thoughts?

3. How can I put links on the top to my webpage?

THanks so much for your help.

Create the new directory themes/carbon/template/local/ and copy or place your custom album.tpl in this directory.

In the 'Edit Album' action, via the General tab you should see the Description box; this is where you should place that text.

3. How can I put links on the top to my webpage?

One way is to use the already provided tools within the Carbon theme. At the very bottom find the 'Extra link for top navigation bar' and the 'URL for the extra link'. Other methods include custom editing your local/theme.tpl file.

One final question and then I am good. When I use the built in carbon edit album feature to put a link on the top of the page, it tacks whatever I put in the box onto my gallery directory. I want to go back to my public_html page. How can I tell it to do this. I already tried putting public_html in the box, but I got a could not display page which had in the address bar *********/gallery/public_html. I want to go backwards to public_html. Any thoughts?

Mincel,

Thanks so much for the theme - its truly awesome. A couple of questions:

1) I am developing a non-profit site for radiologists and trauma / ED doctors to put interesting xrays. Is it possible to increase the number of images sizes in the theme beyond thumbnail, the preset size and original in a new window?

2) Is is possible to have a clickable imagemage map on the left hand colum to select which folder to deposit images in. I was thinking of having an image such as (http://ectsia.org/test2/gallery2/start) but without using frames so it is integrated into the left hand column

The xrays look completely awesome on the carbon background!

Thanks
Dr. Tony Goldstone

Has anyone developed a theme for WordPress that matches this nice Carbon theme? I'd really like WordPress and Gallery to look as similar as possible. Email me directly: roger69 at gmail dot com.

I'm using Carbon as my default theme in the current Gallery2.2 SVN (today's SVN). However, I am unable to access the Themes detail in admin mode, as the Gallery Themes page is blank - except for the theme name tabs. Don't know whether this is a Carbon problem or a problem in the new G2 admin interface, but I'm guessing Carbon hasn't added the code for the new interface.

The reason I mention that I am using Carbon as my default is that the admininterface is therefore using Carbon, and I cannot see any way to change the default, nor to tailor Carbon or any other theme.

Anybody else having the same problem? Can anybody suggest a workaround?

try clearing your browser cache and/or delete template cache in site admin /maintenance.. i don't see any problems in current svn.

Hi there and congratulations Mincel for the splendid them: I just love it, it's sober, clean and easy.

I would like to have the theme working for 800x600 screens (my mother has such an old computer...), so I would need to diminish a little bit the size of the main image, or just have three thumbnails on a row. Would it be possible? Or is there another way?

Where in the code can I play with those parameters...?

Thanks for your help.

site admin / themes / carbon -- edit default theme settings
edit album / Theme tab -- override settings for any album

Awesome theme, but I'm having problems.

Here's the gallery :

http://vorsuc.kicks-ass.net:85/gallery

Have a look at the 'Christmas 2004' album. I'm having trouble with paging.

Here's an example link :

http://vorsuc.kicks-ass.net:85/gallery/main.php?g2_page=2

It includes the page number, but not the gallery number. So when you click the link, it returns you to the 'home' screen.

The URL *should* be :

http://vorsuc.kicks-ass.net:85/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=74&g2_page=2

Which works.

I tried digging around in the navigator.tpl file and know the lines responsible are those theme.navigator.<direction>.urlParams ones, but where is that defined? How can I fix this?

I'm using a out of the box Full install, with nothing added/changed but the Carbon theme. It is running on IIS6 on Win2k3 server.

Hi guys, quick one if I may. I seem to have a problem when viewing items in an album with a navigation option disappearing one item too soon. I can be browsing through an album using the little next/previous buttons, reach what you would assume to be the end of said album because the option to go any further has vanished, but can see one more photo yet to be viewed via the micro-navigation pane.

I just updated via svn to the latest version as it is now and still get this problem. Any pointers?

Is it possible to expand G2 with the carbon theme to include video clips? I know this is a G2 bigger picture question, but I am curious if anyone could point me in the right direction to expand my gallery to include videos like from photostory etc.
BTW- thanks mindless and mincel for your service on this forum.

Otacon, the link isn't gone.. instead of next link and last link both pointing to the same place, there's just a last link. The core navigator used by matrix and other themes used to do this too, but it was changed to always show both links (with an easy tpl change for those that like the old way). It appears carbon was built from a copy of this file using the old method. I'll make the same change so it shows both by default, with an available tpl change for no-duplicate-link mode.

I have changed the way it is working.
- If the current image is the one before the last image, only icon "Next" will be shown.
- If the current image is the last one, both icons for "Next" and "Last" will not be shown.
The logic for icons "First" and "Previous" is the same as above.

Along the same lines, I find it very disorienting for my visitors, when at the beginning of an album, the button "last" and then button "prev" appear one by one and then at the end of an album, the button "next" and then "last" disappear one by one. The way I have modified your great theme, is that all buttons are next to each other, but that causes appearing and disappearing buttons to shift the rest of the buttons. How can I keep the buttons steady when they disappear? Better yet, is there a way to make another button (of the same size) appear when I get to the last image, only the new button would be a darker version, to signify that it's unclickable?

Thanks,
Mihael

mikblik, you have very nice site. If you don't want your buttons to move you should give a fixed width to the table where the buttons are in.

Mincel, I have just discovered your theme and it is certainly one of the best I have come across in Gallery! I am trying to use it on a new site and all seems well apart from one problem.

I can put blocks anywhere I like using the admin interface, but I just can't get any of them to appear when I add them to the list entitled "Blocks to show on photo pages (below description)". Oddly it did work yesterday, but it looks like I have changed a setting and now they're gone. The Title and owner still appear. Has anyone ever come across this? As I say, if I choose a block to put in the sidebar or below the photo/album I have no problems and they work just fine, but I want them under the description!

Thanks, James
