first i will also say thanks for this great theme.
one question i have!
i want to close the full size popup windows by clicking into the fullsize picture.
how can i do this??
i think it is only one line of java code, but my kung-fu is not so good
Did you get your answer on how to remove the sidebar? Check out my site and tell me if that is what you are looking for?
No answer yet, but thanks for asking ;-) I've been wrestling with it on and off and still can't get it to work.
The issue is not removing the sidebar. I do want some block elements in the sidebar (e.g. dhtml gallery navigation) and also other blocks (e.g. custom fields, Google image map etc) to appear under the description. The sidebar ones are fine, as are any at the foot of any image or album page, but I simply cannot get anything to show up under the description, even though I did initially.
What I suspect may be causing conflicts is how you can set things at the gallery root, but also then in sub-albums where you get a check-box for 'use-global'. But when I check or uncheck this the root values seem to actually *disappear* when you check the box. Is there any way of just setting the values at the root level and not allowing any changes at sub-levels, just keeping those 'default' values? For this particular site I specifically *do not* want people to be able to change the appearance of albums.
Any pointers welcome, and I'm also going to go back with a fresh pair of eyes tonight!
Thanks, James

I have just gone through this whole thread hoping to see the answer to this as well. Can someone who has successfully done this share the code to make the sidebar static?
Nice theme! However I use anohter theme because my gallery has to work with WordPress. But I would really like to use the Exif popup from your theme. Which items do I need?
It is possible, but you should extract all the code which are related to exif from the theme files.
Super! Could you (or anyone) please help me identify which files I need?

I hope you could be able to fix your issue related to the blocks. If you don't give full control over the albums to you users, they cannot change the album appearance.

littletechgirl, making sidebar static requires some design changes. If you make sidebar static then ,I think, you should put item definition to somewhere else to have more space. You can send a private message to nicafotosdotcom for asking the code.
- "Photo Properties" button is in navigator.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- "Photo Properties" block is created in photo.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- The javascripts code is in theme.js
- And the related CSS is in theme.css
First of all I would like to thank MIncel for permitting me to use his design and letting me modify it.
Second, if you wish to remove the sidebar and make the pages look like those found at www.nicafotos.com you can download the template zip file that contains only the template (.tpl) files that you need to change. Inside this zip file is also a readme.txt file that explains what to do.
If you had made any changes to the template files that differ from those downloaded from MIncel, then please make sure that you back them up before replacing them.
In addition to get the logo.gif to link to my homepage I added an anchor, so if you would like to link it to your page make the change to the theme.tpl file on line 41 and put in your domain or just do a find and replace for "http://www.nicafotos.com/"

Hi James,
I modified the album.tpl file to give you what you want, so now anything that you select under the album block under the theme tab for that album will show up under the description.
I modified 2 lines and attached the file so that you can just plug it in.
Line 83 - from {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks2 item=block} to
{foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks item=block}
Line 212 - from {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks item=block} to {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks2 item=block}
Got a little bit more information being displayed that I used to now though (previously just owner and size, now I have date and a missing line break). Remind me where I can change that?

Installed newest gallery full package.
Get a error fault when select Themes in the sidemenu under site management.
first error was theme.inc can redeclare theme matrix on line 34 ?
Than i change the whole directory name of matrix2 to an other theme directory name
this gave the same problem when using another theme.inc
After that i have set all backup directory's right to standaard, and get an other error:
I have 2 gallery's on different places same fault.
What can i do about this problem, ik like the other themes ??

Hi mince,
my problem is probably simple but I can't seem to fix it. How do I change the title from gallery.mincel.com to my preference? I'm new at this and don't know a hole lot, but so far I like how my website is starting to look with the carbon theme.
Thank you.

You must replace /gallery/themes/carbon/images/logo.gif with your preferred image with the same name.
- "Photo Properties" button is in navigator.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- "Photo Properties" block is created in photo.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- The javascripts code is in theme.js
- And the related CSS is in theme.css
I have come to the conclusion that I have no clue as to what Im doing. If possible and when you have time can you give me step by step on how to change the title.
This is what I get.
karla@olympus:~/www/themes/carbon/images$ cd logo.gif
-bash: cd: logo.gif: Not a directory

lenoxeye,
First of all you have to create a new image (it will make life a lot easier if it is a gif) with the logo or words that you wish to replace the gallery.mincel.com with. Once you have got the image you then have to get the image into the themes/carbon/images/ directory. As you have shell access to your server I presume you can ftp, if you do not know how to get the image to the server then I would suggest contacting your service provider.
At the 'karla@olympus:~/www/themes/carbon/images$' prompt
To make a backup copy of the old logo mv logo.gif logo.gif.old
Then rename your logo to logo.gif mv yourlogoname.gif logo.gif
Thats it. Open site in a browser and admire your handywork.

Hi all,
As most have said in this thread - great theme, thank you very much for sharing it!
I've looked as best I could through the forums and particularly this thread and I couldn't find a definitive answer for how to remove the << item actions >> drop down box under each thumbnail for logged in users. The website will be geared towards registered members so, while it looks great when you're not logged in, this isn't the most desirable situation.
I registered an account at mincel's site so I could login and I noticed that the box doesn't appear under the thumbnails. How do I replicate this? There's adequate (and certainly elegant) navigation/functions using the sidebar and header and footer so if anyone could walk me through how to disable the << item actions >> drop down text-box that appears under each thumbnail it'd be much appreciated.
Once again I apologise for bringing up something previously discussed - I just couldn't make sense of it!
Thanks in advance,
Mitch

Hi Mitch,
The dropdown that you are viewing is most likely due to the fact that you are providing the registered user with more permissions than they need.
You need to change the permissions that you are offering registered users to the appropriate type of permission. If you want to only give permission to view items then you need to set the permission for registered users to '[core] view item', if you want them to only add images then you need to set it to '[core] Add sub-item'. You are most likely giving the registred user full access.
Steps to Add a Permission:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Go to Album that you want to set permissions for
3. Click on 'Edit Permissions'
4. Go to 'New Group Permission'
5. Type in 'Registered Users' in the text box
6. Select the appropriate permission from the drop down
7. Click on 'Add Permission'
Steps to Remove a Permission:
1. Follow Steps 1-3 from above...
2. Go to 'Group Permissions'
3. Find the Permission you want to remove
4. Select the action you want to remove from the drop down
5. Click on 'Remove'

I am very interested in figuring out how to have a flat list of subalbums under each album title in the album view. That way, my visitors can go directly to the subalbum, thus eliminating extra clicking.
Has anyone been able to implement it in the carbon theme or has a good starting point and suggestions? I've looked at similar implementations in other themes (Classic, Sirux), but because the code is so different, it's very confusing and I haven't been able to progress far.
Working with Gallery2 with Carbon theme a few days now and really feeling happy.
Regarding MicroThumbs, I've followed a post how to enlarge the list of MT to be able to show the complete album and saw a way to enlarge them somewhat.
What I found when enlarging the list of MT is the photo centering itself vertically to the MT (when the MTcollection is longer than the picture height).
- Is it possible for the picture to stay at the top of the page?
- Or even better, could the MTcollection show-up in a separate frame for easier navigation?
When my question(s) already have been answered, I do apologize but please inform me where to find them.
Kind regards from The Netherlands,
Frank

Hi mince, and all people on this forum threat.
First i would like to say i'm very happy with this gallery thing, i've run in to it 3 day's ago and i'm totally taken with it. I've been doing nothing else than play with this program, and i also desided to update my pref gallery (on my site, made with a blogger program) to this one. And ofcourse i used the carbon theme, i like it clean and simple! So far so good, it's alsmost completely like i want it to be, there are still some little things that i just cant get over :/
so here's my questions; On the album.tpl i would like the thumbs to have no cellpadding or margings, so they'll join up and vorm one big block of thumbs. Is this possible? I think it needs some work at the theme.css but i can't find the right parameters in this sea of numbes. Maby somebody knows where to adjust it?
Also i want to adjust the top marging/cellpadding of the entire album.tpl and photo.tpl so it will be a bit higher. this way the white stripe where one can find the breadcrumb and the loging link will be smaller. This means that only the table with the album and photo content (so maby not the intire page?) must be higher and the breadcrumb and loging link will stay at their places. Again i think theme.css will hold the key, but i'm just not good at finding these things.
I truly hope someone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Mo.
(excuse my bad eng)

Hi,
it might be just me (it probably is) as I'm fairly new to gallery and this terrific theme. It's really great. My question: the icons in the sidebar, and the stars for ratin a picture, do they exist in a set somewhere that goes well with the carbon theme? The icons on my site are made for a white/light background and look horrible on the dark carbon theme. I saw on the original site 'mincel's' that he doesn't use those icons. For the sidebar, I think that is a good idea, at least a lot better than the ones I have there now. But I don't know how to do that yet. The stars, I really liek the idea of visitors 'voting' foir the pictures, so if someone knows an available set, that'd be great and an enormous time saver. Thanks.

Hello mincel,
I have recently upgraded from G1 and am now running blackjack. I installed your theme, which is the best one I've seen for G2 btw, and everything seems to work fine. Except for the frames. I installed the ImageFrame module and added your carbon frame to the list. It is selectable from the carbon config menu, but they never show up. This has been bothering me for over a week. I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong being new to G2. If I switch to the matrix theme, all the frames show up, even the carbon one. If, while running the carbon theme, I hit the "view samples" link in the site admin page I see 18 of the same picture with no frame.
Keep up the good work.

Nahga, could it be related to your caches? Could you please try deleting your browser cache and template cache? To delete your template cache please goto "Site Admin" > "Maintenance" > "Delete template cache".
I work with the 2.1 Gallery and am getting this error with the Carbonblackjack (1.1.1) theme, any thing I do wrong or should change?

Gallery Home
Welcome to my gallery.
Blah, Blah, Blah,
Please help!
Thanks a million for the great theme.

I'm having some strange issues.
I upgraded to Gallery 2.1.2, Joomla 1.0.11, the latest bridge and the latest Carbon theme and now when I click on a thumbnail it goes nowhere.
I also used to have a white background behind my thumbnails and I can't remember how to get those back.
Thank you very much to mincel and all those who have contributed to this theme. This theme is really great for me!
I have done a few minor modifications after going through this forum. I found something strange about micro navigation thumbnail but don't know what's went wrong. Try to see if any advance user can help to figure out the problem.
In the album template, I have modified the line
{if ($columnIndex == 4)
to
{if ($columnIndex == 1)
I noted by doing so the micro navigation thumbnail matrix could be reduced to 1 column. Likewise changing the value to 2 could reduce the matrix to 2 columns.
I have amended the number of microthumbnail to 5 by setting it in the Site Admin->Themes->Carbon->Maximum number of micro navigation thumbnails. I've got no problem of reducing the quantity of microthumbnail.
But now when I wanna set it more, the quantity still keep to 5 only. I have already deleted the template cache and browser cache but still got the same result.
Can someone here please help? The address is photo.dannycheng.net
Thanks again for any assistance!!

Hi dannycheng,
I have checked the code, but I could not find anything that could cause a problem. What you did was completely correct and if you change the number of micro thumbnails that should work. You said you also deleted the caches. I don't see any reason why it doesn't work.
Currently I am abroad. when I return back home, I will try to reproduce the same problem on my test server.
I wanted to set up some information to go into the <head>...</head> section for all of the photo and album pages. So I added the following line to the bottom of both the showAlbumPage and showPhotoPage functions
and then added a header.tpl to themes/carbon/templates/local directory.
I was wondering if you would consider adding this to the next version and include an empty header.tpl. This would allow me to remove my "changes" and get back to the standard code in theme.inc
Thanks

I was using the contactowner module and in order to maintain the theme, I changed it to not route the view thru the UserAdmin view. Once this was done, it showed up using module.tpl without the show sidebar button. In order to display the show sidebar button, I changed module.tpl tp:
1) In IE the text "Page:" is so dark it blends with the background too much, I've changed everything around it but I can't find where
to change its color.
2) Similar problem when viewing the "Latest Comments", the comment and posting date text needs to be a lighter color but, again, I can't find
the right file.
3) In IE the entire right hand content pane extends past the visible area. Is there a way to fix this?
all three of these are a non-issue in Firefox, just trying to cover all bases.
NOTE: problems do not occur in the standalone gallery but trying here first before joomla: http://www.sethcarterart.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=31
Thanks.

I have a question about Full Size links. I'm wonder what piece of code needs to be changed so that if user cliks medium image (directly on image) now it has no a href record, that it would display Full Sized one like the icon on top of it does.
I'm using Carbon theme.

Hi Mincel. Thanks for your checking. I realize the problem has been solved when I create new albums which show what I want.
When I changed the theme setting before it didn't affect existing albums. I need to go to each album and change the number of thumbnail.
Anyway, thank you very much for your checking!!

Great theme! It is by far the most clean & useful I have seen.
I is it possible to eliminate the owner information from the top-level album for use in a multi-user application? What I mean is: I have user albums enabled, but my name remains on the left side of the main index page and seems to do so regardless of how I set the album ownership checkbox.
1) In IE the text "Page:" is so dark it blends with the background too much, I've changed everything around it but I can't find where
to change its color.
2) Similar problem when viewing the "Latest Comments", the comment and posting date text needs to be a lighter color but, again, I can't find
the right file.
after ftp'ing the gallery dir to my local machine I searched it for the text 'div.block-comment' and 'block-core-Pager', I got those strings to search on from viewing the source in the problem areas. The results narrowed the list of possible solutions down, but what I found was that the carbon theme.css did not include those classes where other theme.css' did. So, the reason I couldn't find the correct file to edit within the carbon theme was b/c the entry didn't exist in the first place! (elementary for some of you I'm sure, but this is new to me). I added the following to the carbon theme.css and now my 'Page' and 'Comment' text shows clearly in IE and Firefox.
still working on my problem # 3, but thought I'd post the solution for documentation's sake.

...and with regard to problem #3, I tested with IE 7 and the right-hand side of the frame is displayed correctly. I don't think it's worth digging to fix in IE < 7 since 7 will soon be the rule rather than the exception.

Very impressed theme, very nice.
everything cool, just have error message inside the thumbnail area on right side
Notice: Undefined index: thumbnail in d:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\gallery2\g2data\smarty\templates_c\%%491425871\%%CD^CD9^CD9C02CA%%navigatorMicroThumbs.tpl.php on line 28
[Render error: missing entity]
I am trying to install before copying carbon theme files to gallery themes.
Finally, I would greatly appreciate and positive and negative feedback regarding my gallery2 install. Any tweaks, does it run fast or slow for you, does it look good, or it complete shit and I need to start over?

No answer yet, but thanks for asking ;-) I've been wrestling with it on and off and still can't get it to work.
The issue is not removing the sidebar. I do want some block elements in the sidebar (e.g. dhtml gallery navigation) and also other blocks (e.g. custom fields, Google image map etc) to appear under the description. The sidebar ones are fine, as are any at the foot of any image or album page, but I simply cannot get anything to show up under the description, even though I did initially.
What I suspect may be causing conflicts is how you can set things at the gallery root, but also then in sub-albums where you get a check-box for 'use-global'. But when I check or uncheck this the root values seem to actually *disappear* when you check the box. Is there any way of just setting the values at the root level and not allowing any changes at sub-levels, just keeping those 'default' values? For this particular site I specifically *do not* want people to be able to change the appearance of albums.
Any pointers welcome, and I'm also going to go back with a fresh pair of eyes tonight!
Thanks, James

I have just gone through this whole thread hoping to see the answer to this as well. Can someone who has successfully done this share the code to make the sidebar static?
BTW, this is an AWESOME theme.

Super! Could you (or anyone) please help me identify which files I need?

I hope you could be able to fix your issue related to the blocks. If you don't give full control over the albums to you users, they cannot change the album appearance.

littletechgirl, making sidebar static requires some design changes. If you make sidebar static then ,I think, you should put item definition to somewhere else to have more space. You can send a private message to nicafotosdotcom for asking the code.

josini,
- "Photo Properties" button is in navigator.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- "Photo Properties" block is created in photo.tpl. Please search for "ExifInfo"
- The javascripts code is in theme.js
- And the related CSS is in theme.css

First of all I would like to thank MIncel for permitting me to use his design and letting me modify it.
Second, if you wish to remove the sidebar and make the pages look like those found at www.nicafotos.com you can download the template zip file that contains only the template (.tpl) files that you need to change. Inside this zip file is also a readme.txt file that explains what to do.
If you had made any changes to the template files that differ from those downloaded from MIncel, then please make sure that you back them up before replacing them.
File Download: http://www.nicafotos.com/templates.zip
In addition to get the logo.gif to link to my homepage I added an anchor, so if you would like to link it to your page make the change to the theme.tpl file on line 41 and put in your domain or just do a find and replace for "http://www.nicafotos.com/"
Let me know if you have any questions
Thanks,
Sam

Hi James,
I modified the album.tpl file to give you what you want, so now anything that you select under the album block under the theme tab for that album will show up under the description.
I modified 2 lines and attached the file so that you can just plug it in.
Line 83 - from {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks2 item=block} to
{foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks item=block}
Line 212 - from {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks item=block} to {foreach from=$theme.params.albumBlocks2 item=block}
Thanks,
Sam
PS - Let me know if it works

Thanks for that
Got a little bit more information being displayed that I used to now though (previously just owner and size, now I have date and a missing line break). Remind me where I can change that?

Installed newest gallery full package.
Get a error fault when select Themes in the sidemenu under site management.
first error was theme.inc can redeclare theme matrix on line 34 ?
Than i change the whole directory name of matrix2 to an other theme directory name
this gave the same problem when using another theme.inc
After that i have set all backup directory's right to standaard, and get an other error:
I have 2 gallery's on different places same fault.

Hi mince,
my problem is probably simple but I can't seem to fix it. How do I change the title from gallery.mincel.com to my preference? I'm new at this and don't know a hole lot, but so far I like how my website is starting to look with the carbon theme.
Thank you.

You must replace /gallery/themes/carbon/images/logo.gif with your preferred image with the same name.

I have come to the conclusion that I have no clue as to what Im doing. If possible and when you have time can you give me step by step on how to change the title.
This is what I get.
karla@olympus:~/www/themes/carbon/images$ cd logo.gif
-bash: cd: logo.gif: Not a directory
karla@olympus:~/www/themes/carbon/images$

lenoxeye,
First of all you have to create a new image (it will make life a lot easier if it is a gif) with the logo or words that you wish to replace the gallery.mincel.com with. Once you have got the image you then have to get the image into the themes/carbon/images/ directory. As you have shell access to your server I presume you can ftp, if you do not know how to get the image to the server then I would suggest contacting your service provider.
At the 'karla@olympus:~/www/themes/carbon/images$' prompt
To make a backup copy of the old logo
mv logo.gif logo.gif.old
Then rename your logo to logo.gif
mv yourlogoname.gif logo.gif
Thats it. Open site in a browser and admire your handywork.

Hi all,
As most have said in this thread - great theme, thank you very much for sharing it!
I've looked as best I could through the forums and particularly this thread and I couldn't find a definitive answer for how to remove the << item actions >> drop down box under each thumbnail for logged in users. The website will be geared towards registered members so, while it looks great when you're not logged in, this isn't the most desirable situation.
I registered an account at mincel's site so I could login and I noticed that the box doesn't appear under the thumbnails. How do I replicate this? There's adequate (and certainly elegant) navigation/functions using the sidebar and header and footer so if anyone could walk me through how to disable the << item actions >> drop down text-box that appears under each thumbnail it'd be much appreciated.
Once again I apologise for bringing up something previously discussed - I just couldn't make sense of it!
Thanks in advance,
Mitch

Hi Mitch,
The dropdown that you are viewing is most likely due to the fact that you are providing the registered user with more permissions than they need.
You need to change the permissions that you are offering registered users to the appropriate type of permission. If you want to only give permission to view items then you need to set the permission for registered users to '[core] view item', if you want them to only add images then you need to set it to '[core] Add sub-item'. You are most likely giving the registred user full access.
Steps to Add a Permission:
1. Log in as Admin
2. Go to Album that you want to set permissions for
3. Click on 'Edit Permissions'
4. Go to 'New Group Permission'
5. Type in 'Registered Users' in the text box
6. Select the appropriate permission from the drop down
7. Click on 'Add Permission'
Steps to Remove a Permission:
1. Follow Steps 1-3 from above...
2. Go to 'Group Permissions'
3. Find the Permission you want to remove
4. Select the action you want to remove from the drop down
5. Click on 'Remove'

I am very interested in figuring out how to have a flat list of subalbums under each album title in the album view. That way, my visitors can go directly to the subalbum, thus eliminating extra clicking.
Has anyone been able to implement it in the carbon theme or has a good starting point and suggestions? I've looked at similar implementations in other themes (Classic, Sirux), but because the code is so different, it's very confusing and I haven't been able to progress far.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,
Working with Gallery2 with Carbon theme a few days now and really feeling happy.
Regarding MicroThumbs, I've followed a post how to enlarge the list of MT to be able to show the complete album and saw a way to enlarge them somewhat.
What I found when enlarging the list of MT is the photo centering itself vertically to the MT (when the MTcollection is longer than the picture height).
- Is it possible for the picture to stay at the top of the page?
- Or even better, could the MTcollection show-up in a separate frame for easier navigation?
When my question(s) already have been answered, I do apologize but please inform me where to find them.
Kind regards from The Netherlands,
Frank

Hi mince, and all people on this forum threat.
First i would like to say i'm very happy with this gallery thing, i've run in to it 3 day's ago and i'm totally taken with it. I've been doing nothing else than play with this program, and i also desided to update my pref gallery (on my site, made with a blogger program) to this one. And ofcourse i used the carbon theme, i like it clean and simple! So far so good, it's alsmost completely like i want it to be, there are still some little things that i just cant get over :/
so here's my questions; On the album.tpl i would like the thumbs to have no cellpadding or margings, so they'll join up and vorm one big block of thumbs. Is this possible? I think it needs some work at the theme.css but i can't find the right parameters in this sea of numbes. Maby somebody knows where to adjust it?
Also i want to adjust the top marging/cellpadding of the entire album.tpl and photo.tpl so it will be a bit higher. this way the white stripe where one can find the breadcrumb and the loging link will be smaller. This means that only the table with the album and photo content (so maby not the intire page?) must be higher and the breadcrumb and loging link will stay at their places. Again i think theme.css will hold the key, but i'm just not good at finding these things.
Link to my site; http://www.greyburn.net
I truly hope someone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards, Mo.

Hi,
it might be just me (it probably is) as I'm fairly new to gallery and this terrific theme. It's really great. My question: the icons in the sidebar, and the stars for ratin a picture, do they exist in a set somewhere that goes well with the carbon theme? The icons on my site are made for a white/light background and look horrible on the dark carbon theme. I saw on the original site 'mincel's' that he doesn't use those icons. For the sidebar, I think that is a good idea, at least a lot better than the ones I have there now. But I don't know how to do that yet. The stars, I really liek the idea of visitors 'voting' foir the pictures, so if someone knows an available set, that'd be great and an enormous time saver. Thanks.

Hello mincel,
I have recently upgraded from G1 and am now running blackjack. I installed your theme, which is the best one I've seen for G2 btw, and everything seems to work fine. Except for the frames. I installed the ImageFrame module and added your carbon frame to the list. It is selectable from the carbon config menu, but they never show up. This has been bothering me for over a week. I kept thinking it was something I was doing wrong being new to G2. If I switch to the matrix theme, all the frames show up, even the carbon one. If, while running the carbon theme, I hit the "view samples" link in the site admin page I see 18 of the same picture with no frame.
Keep up the good work.

antiheld, you can find the code in theme.tpl (search for "logoButton"). Gallery has its own function to show those buttons.

I'm having some strange issues.
I upgraded to Gallery 2.1.2, Joomla 1.0.11, the latest bridge and the latest Carbon theme and now when I click on a thumbnail it goes nowhere.
I also used to have a white background behind my thumbnails and I can't remember how to get those back.
Here's a link to the page with an issue.

Thank you very much to mincel and all those who have contributed to this theme. This theme is really great for me!
I have done a few minor modifications after going through this forum. I found something strange about micro navigation thumbnail but don't know what's went wrong. Try to see if any advance user can help to figure out the problem.
In the album template, I have modified the line
{if ($columnIndex == 4)
to
{if ($columnIndex == 1)
I noted by doing so the micro navigation thumbnail matrix could be reduced to 1 column. Likewise changing the value to 2 could reduce the matrix to 2 columns.
I have amended the number of microthumbnail to 5 by setting it in the Site Admin->Themes->Carbon->Maximum number of micro navigation thumbnails. I've got no problem of reducing the quantity of microthumbnail.
But now when I wanna set it more, the quantity still keep to 5 only. I have already deleted the template cache and browser cache but still got the same result.
Can someone here please help? The address is photo.dannycheng.net
Thanks again for any assistance!!

Hi dannycheng,
I have checked the code, but I could not find anything that could cause a problem. What you did was completely correct and if you change the number of micro thumbnails that should work. You said you also deleted the caches. I don't see any reason why it doesn't work.
Currently I am abroad. when I return back home, I will try to reproduce the same problem on my test server.

Thanks for a great theme.
I wanted to set up some information to go into the <head>...</head> section for all of the photo and album pages. So I added the following line to the bottom of both the showAlbumPage and showPhotoPage functions
and then added a header.tpl to themes/carbon/templates/local directory.
I was wondering if you would consider adding this to the next version and include an empty header.tpl. This would allow me to remove my "changes" and get back to the standard code in theme.inc
Thanks

I was using the contactowner module and in order to maintain the theme, I changed it to not route the view thru the UserAdmin view. Once this was done, it showed up using module.tpl without the show sidebar button. In order to display the show sidebar button, I changed module.tpl tp:
{if !empty($theme.params.sidebarBlocks)} {g->theme include="sidebar.tpl"} {/if} <table class="gcBackground1" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"> <td> <div id="gsContent" class="gcBorder1"> <div class="gbBlockTop"> <table> <tr> <td class="gsActionIcon"> <div class="buttonShowSidebar"><a href="javascript: slideIn('sidebar')" title="Show Sidebar"></a></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> {include file="gallery:`$theme.moduleTemplate`" l10Domain=$theme.moduleL10Domain} </td> </tr> </table>As I relatively new to Gallery2, please let me know if I have run the risk of breaking something else with this change.
Thanks

Newbie here, so keep that in mind...
I have gallery2 embedded in Joomla!. I'm using the sleek and professional carbon theme with the new "View Latest Comments" feature.
I have a few problems that I can't seem to solve, all can be seen here and all are based in IE:
http://www.sethcarterart.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=29&g2_itemId=31
1) In IE the text "Page:" is so dark it blends with the background too much, I've changed everything around it but I can't find where
to change its color.
2) Similar problem when viewing the "Latest Comments", the comment and posting date text needs to be a lighter color but, again, I can't find
the right file.
3) In IE the entire right hand content pane extends past the visible area. Is there a way to fix this?
all three of these are a non-issue in Firefox, just trying to cover all bases.
NOTE: problems do not occur in the standalone gallery but trying here first before joomla: http://www.sethcarterart.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=31
Thanks.

I have a question about Full Size links. I'm wonder what piece of code needs to be changed so that if user cliks medium image (directly on image) now it has no a href record, that it would display Full Sized one like the icon on top of it does.
I'm using Carbon theme.

Hi Mincel. Thanks for your checking. I realize the problem has been solved when I create new albums which show what I want.
When I changed the theme setting before it didn't affect existing albums. I need to go to each album and change the number of thumbnail.
Anyway, thank you very much for your checking!!

Great theme! It is by far the most clean & useful I have seen.
I is it possible to eliminate the owner information from the top-level album for use in a multi-user application? What I mean is: I have user albums enabled, but my name remains on the left side of the main index page and seems to do so regardless of how I set the album ownership checkbox.

after ftp'ing the gallery dir to my local machine I searched it for the text 'div.block-comment' and 'block-core-Pager', I got those strings to search on from viewing the source in the problem areas. The results narrowed the list of possible solutions down, but what I found was that the carbon theme.css did not include those classes where other theme.css' did. So, the reason I couldn't find the correct file to edit within the carbon theme was b/c the entry didn't exist in the first place! (elementary for some of you I'm sure, but this is new to me). I added the following to the carbon theme.css and now my 'Page' and 'Comment' text shows clearly in IE and Firefox.
.block-core-Pager {font-size: 1.1em;margin: 0;color: #ccc;}
.comment {color: #ccc;padding: 5px;margin-bottom: 5px;}

...and with regard to problem #3, I tested with IE 7 and the right-hand side of the frame is displayed correctly. I don't think it's worth digging to fix in IE < 7 since 7 will soon be the rule rather than the exception.

A question regarding album view counts.
Is it possible to make the vie counts of an album total all the views of sub albums. I have been linking straight to my sub-albums and as a result my view counts are artfically low.
For instance: please take note on the amount of views for the galler 12-23-06 (20 as of this morning)
http://davidmscherer.com/databases/gallery2/main.php/v/2006/December+2006/
however if you look at the sub-albums
http://davidmscherer.com/databases/gallery2/main.php/v/2006/December+2006/12-23-06/
I one of them has 95 views by itself. Is there a way to adjust this?
Finally, I would greatly appreciate and positive and negative feedback regarding my gallery2 install. Any tweaks, does it run fast or slow for you, does it look good, or it complete shit and I need to start over?
Thank you,
