[PGtheme Clone -> PGlightbox] Updated Version for G-2.2-SVN

Hmmm, could you be a little more specific? I just tried changing the permissions of my g2data folder to 777 but that didn't change anything. I also just tried a complete reinstallation of the latest SVN version as well as the theme, but things look the same. I wanted to eliminate the trouble I had with upgrading that I mentioned in my last post as a cause.

It appears that

-for the imageblocks it is no longer possible to define if they are "random image", "latest image" or "latest album".

-the logo at the top left can't be removed by unclicking "OVERALL :: Show your LOGO on top left page [?]"

-a "save/load theme preferences" function would be nice should i ever want to have the same look for several galleries, if it isn't to much work.

-it would be just brilliant if the static sidebar could be moved inside the box with this tag (for embedding the theme into a site with a fixed width and not to much space):

Could this be looked into please?

You're welcome

@atelier: have you defined resizes in the album setup as described in the wiki page? It needs a resize at about 800px (set in theme.inc)

I just downloaded PGLightbox to try it. I got the following:

Incompatible theme! 
Core API Required: 7.0 (available: 7.3) 
Theme API Required: 2.4 (available: 2.3) 

What should I be doing to fix??

Thanks...John

I am still unable to invoke the applet slideshow. I found two sections in theme.inc that are referenced in the wiki and changed both to 800px but this did nothing. Everything else in this theme is working for me such as individual lightbox views and the control panel for the slideshow.

I have carefully read the forum thread and reviewed the wiki but I'm at a loss as to how to resolve this. Are there any other configuration parameters I need to consider? I have this running on a brand new install of 2.2-rc1. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@atelier: hm, no idea - can you provide an URL to check

@kunghe: did you install the albumselect plugin and the album view in sidebar?

hey everyone!

problem: I'm not sure this is working right. Not getting the "popup" effect that the codex says I should be seeing instantly. Also, I think the codex might need to be tweaked slightly because I did not find two instances of <a href="{g->url arg1="view=core.ShowItem" arg2="itemId=`$child.id`"}"> in my album.tpl (getting this from here: http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:Modules:Lightbox).

Hi,
I have some new features implemented in my gallery on http://www.brynski.pl/galeria like:
- sidebar like in carbon theme
- bug fixes with icons.
How can I add it to repository ?

Lutz....

I have not tried PGLightbox yet. I am newly back to trying G2 (didn't like the original look/feel vs. what I had customized into G1) and fell across 'greypop' first. However, I though you might be able to answer my question.

The problem I have is when using 'lightbox' with either the greymatter or PGcharcoal colorpacks. When I use them the EXIF data is printed with black text on a dark-ish grey backgroud. This makes it very hard to see the text. Can you point me to where/how I can change the background?

Thanks....JOHN

I have a second question on PGlightbox but will post separately next.

@jrsforums: there is a blank.gif int he lightbox images which is responsible for the color of the backdrop. You can change the size of the in the resizeId2 in theme.inc

@LFrank
I mean I want to add some new features to PGlightbox without making new clone (this features are fully configurable)
And I want to commit some bug fixes. And I don't see PGlightbox in Gallery official repository.

Hi, Like to say good work, but also to see if you can help me out.

I would like to add the description and or summary info for a photo to the lightbox popup.
Is this possible? i have located the area in your code in album.tpl where the "view photo page" url is generated
"title='{$child.title|markup}<br><a href="{g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1="itemId=`$child.id`"}">View Photo Page</a>'"
but i cannot get additional info to appear i ask as i am not a programmer and have spent considerable time trying to get it work, it occured to me that i may be wasting my time as it maybe its just not possible.

it is a shame that the search function on this site is turned off as i am sure many questions and answers are getting repeated.

anyways cheers

EDIT

Hooray persistance pays i managed to get th description field to work on the lightbox page by changing the line in album.tpl

"title='{$child.title|markup}<br><a href="{g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1="itemId=`$child.id`"}">View Photo Page</a>'"

to

title='{$child.title|markup}<br><br> {$child.description|markup}<br><br><a href="{g->url params=$theme.pageUrl arg1="itemId=`$child.id`"}">View Photo Page</a>'

so no worries just thanx for a great gallery theme

EDIT

HI GMax
>I can't make exif metadata visible anywhere in the photo page,<

As this theme is an adaptation of the PG theme, I assume it works the same way.

Go into "Site Admin / Themes".
Choose PGlightbox from your themes tabs, and scroll down just a little.

You'll find the EXIF settings in the "Blocks" for sidebar, Album, and Photo.

See the "Available" with a drop down menu beside it.
EXIF is inside each of those.

(Well that is where they are in PG theme. I haven;t worked in PGLightbox yet)

I just tried to install PGLightbox and the first problem was that it did not appear in the plug-ins list.

Using G2 2.2 RC1 and PGLightbox 1.2.0

After reading a bit I started changing files and folder permissions. This should really not be necessary. I installed it by uploading the zip file and unzipping on the server via cPanel. This keeps permissions, but this file might not have been created on Linux? Could it have been zipped on a Win pc?

Well, got it listed in plug-ins after a lot of work. I do not have shell access, so I used my ftp client to change permissions....

Changed to the theme in the root gallery. I know. Stupid thing to do... Got a blank page and nothing works anymore. Tried deleting the theme manually, got into a text only interface of G2. I can get to all menu items in site admin except for the themes item. Tried the maintenance options, no luck.

Where is the theme setting stored? I need to know so I can reset back to Matrix theme. I already checked config.php, but nothing there. In this case, there should be an easy way to reset the theme. Getting a little annoyed with this....

UPDATE: Finally found what to search for. The solution was here:
http://codex.gallery2.org/index.php/Gallery2:FAQ#I_get_a_warning_for_missing_themes_.2F_modules_in_the_upgrader.2C_what_should_I_do.3F

Too bad. Seemed like a nice theme. Might try it later at some point.

Hi
I have a couple questions on this theme. I think its definitely the best I have seen so far.

Firstly FF works perfect, but in IE on the photo page the lightbox has the continual spinner issue similar the issue in albums.tpl. I think its because of this the next and prev mouse over icons work during page loading but stop once loaded. Would the fix that was applied to albums.tpl fix this issue, im guessing in the file photo.tpl. http://gallery.menalto.com/node/54063?page=4#comment-210975 brought up the issue and since then the album page fix has been included in the pagkage and works great but the photo page still doesnt seem to work

Next how easy is it to make the option "OnMouseOver photo Navigation - show full size photo POPUP navigation pic" use the Lightbox popup which is generally as a icon beside the exif and more options buttons rather than popup a new window. I am having a walk through the code but through if someone could point me to the right spot it would be easier.

**EDIT** I managed to get this to work with a code mod in photoNavOver.tpl and changing the code

 <dd id="picfullT">
{literal}<script type="text/JavaScript">
//<![CDATA[
<!--
img = {/literal}"<a id=\"fullT\" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"fsizeopen('{g->url arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$theme.sourceImage.id`"}'); return false;\" title=\"{if $theme.params.FsizePopupText}{g->text text=$theme.params.FsizePopupText}{else}{g->text text='Full Image Popup'}{/if}\"><span style=\"top:20px; text-align:center\">{if ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'thumb') || ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'both') || ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'text')}<p\/>FULL SIZE{/if}{if $theme.params.NavOverLink == 'pic'}<img src=\"{g->theme url='images/fullphotoover.gif'}\" alt=\"full size\"\/>{/if}</span><\/a>"{literal};
function ViewPopup(){document.write(img);}
ViewPopup();
//-->
//]]>
</script>{/literal}
 </dd>

to

 <dd id="picfullT">
<a rel="lightbox" id="fullT"
        href="{g->url forceFullUrl=true arg1="view=core.DownloadItem" arg2="itemId=`$theme.imageViews[1].id`"}" 
        title="{if $theme.params.LightboxText}{g->text text=$theme.params.LightboxText}{else}{g->text text='Lightbox PopUp'}{/if}" 
        class="{if $theme.params.icons != 'no'}icon{else}noicon{/if} iconFullPopup"><span style="top:20px; text-align:center">{if ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'thumb') || ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'both') || ($theme.params.NavOverLink == 'text')}<p/>FULL SIZE{/if}{if $theme.params.NavOverLink == 'pic'}<img src="{g->theme url='images/fullphotoover.gif'}" alt="full size"/>{/if}</span>
</a>

 </dd>

**EDIT END**

Finally navigation through the photos when on the photo page. Is it planned to be ajax driven at any point. I would like to be able to click next image and only have the image reload rather than the whole page or is there a guide anywhere about to implement this?.

Thanks

Hi Carl

>Question: how can I remove the "Equipment", "Portfolio" and "Author" templates from the theme? <

That sounds like the EXIF information.
Look in the EditAlbum
Check in the 2nd tab that you are dealing with the correct theme, then click the (3rd tab = "theme")

See the Blocks in sidebar etc in the top section of the page and also scroll down to the relevant places.
ie Blocks, Actions etc.

Hi I am very new to Gallery and PGlightbox.

I installed my Gallery 2.2 (gallery-2.2-rc-1-full.zip) successfully. I downloaded PGlightbox-1.2.0.zip and PGlightbox-modules.zip and extracted PGlightbox-1.2.0.zip content to install\ and PGlightbox-modules.zip content to modules\. Then I re-run install\index.php.

Afterwards, I browsed through all of my gallery settings and nowhere shows PGlightbox, even a way to activate that....

In fact, I had hard time loacating PGlightbox-1.2.0 and PGlightbox-modules installation and configuration in this web site....

Please help me out and I thank you in advance!

Hi, is there any way to display the most popular items + random in the front page ? Thank you very much for your help !

Does anyone else have this problem or is it only me?

@Jas0r: If you read back through the previous pages of this topic you will see where others (me amongst them) have had the same perpetual spinner problem. I resolved mine by uploading a (clean) reinstall of a recent G2.2 SVN, reinstalling everything. That might help you too
