Admins will have the following options
1) Full install including all the files - Recommended only if installing PGTheme for the first time
2) Upgrade Patches including changes only - Recommended if uprading from older version. Can be used to upgrade incrementally Version A - B - C etc.
3) Rollbacks to step back to previous version if problems occur - Should only be used incrementally to avoid issues Version C - B - A etc.

I think I have overcome the bug that meant that the Fade-In script did not work on Mozilla type browsers apart from Safari (froze and needed page refresh each time) but this needs testing on Windows.

Can folks please go to http://pgtheme.dakanji.com or http://dakanji.com/g2 and help check off the following browsers on windows.

IE 6
IE 7
FireFox
Opera
Netscape

I have tested Safari, Firefox, Netscape and Opera on Mac and just need confirmation on Windows...thanks.

No joy on IE7. Wonder how IE6 fares.

Come on people!

Dave / Anyone else

Can you please check with IE 7 again?

Thanks

Good old Microsoft ... Seems IE 7 has got serious issues with this type of stuff. Hopefully this attempt will work.

Cheers!

Thanks Dave

I was getting a bit despondent that none of the windows users could be bothered to click on the link provided and give a simple report whether it works or not and was about to release the files as they were and jack it in.

Now I have a bit of steam again as your detailed report gives me a good clue as to what might be happening with IE 7.

This bit contains stuff that should perhaps be in the CSS files and IE7 does not work with "filter: alpha(opacity=60)".

<div id="prevOT" style="z-index:10; position:absolute; left:{$varposL}px; top: 20px; width:150px; height:10px; filter: alpha(opacity=60); -moz-opacity: 0.6; opacity: 0.6;" title="{g->text text='previous photo'}">

Just shows how much of a joke web coding is.
>>filter: alpha(opacity=60); = IE6 & below
>>-moz-opacity: 0.6; = Older versions of Mozilla
>>opacity: 0.6; = Newer versions + newer Safari
>>none for older versions of Safari and Konqueror which should be "KHTMLOpacity: 0.6;"
>>Needs something for IE7.

Two fewer error line numbers might mean that the fix to the fade script is fix and those are from other bits such as this one.

I just need to decide whether to try to fix the IE7 error now or go for them later.

Thanks again.

According to Microsoft (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms532847.aspx), they have introduced a totally off the wall 360degree from W3C Standards property for Opacity (as if the Alpha filter was not bad enough before).

Look for "In the following example, the opacity of the content of an object is dynamically changed by changing the Opacity property of the Alpha filter" on that page.

Now it is "filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=xyz)"

It does say 5.5 7 above and the old one worked for you...so confusing lol.

Just one question, why:

Some time ago people asked me for that cause if you are using "author welcome message" at 1st page there are less space to show thumbs, so with that option we can use different columns at 1st album page.
Or have you created any other turn around for this issue?

IE6.0.29 xp windows
Fade/ mouse over works *but* there is a js error (not implemented, code-0). Also don't know if it's what you were wanting but the faded images and the mouse over (not faded) images are not the same size so you get the jumping around of the other faded pics and the comment text.

Hope this helps - I really enjoy that so many people are helping make gallery a great product! - tincoo

Dayo,

Something I am keenly interested in is the line in your 'Pending - Todo/Investigate' area that states "Google Analytics". Would you mind elaborating on that a little? What where you thinking here? I find this an extremely important area, personally. Would very much like to know what you are thinking in this too...

regards, drhiii

I understand now. Thought at first you took over the PGTheme to advance some additional stuff, but I see what you are doing here. No probs. I will take up with Pedro a couple of these ideas. The work with the ZC is of course terrific...

The PGTheme updates are only generally bug fixes etc with minor new features possible. Pedro has moved the theme on to X_Treme Theme and that is where any major new features will be. I think I wrote somewhere that this will be like G1 & G2.

PGTheme becomes like G1 while X_Treme is like G2. The upshot is that it is best to discuss major stuff like those you have with Pedro for consideration for X_Treme.

I just picked this up because I am happy with my PGTheme installation, do not need the added stuff in X_Treme and wanted to make some minor tweaks available for any in the same position. Also any things I pick up while rooting through the code can be fed back to Pedro for X_Treme.

On Goggle Analytics, this is a minor addition that will let people use this feature easily. You register, get your code and enter it into theme admin and then you can go to Google to use the feature.
