The Navigation Carousel made every photo in a large album very very slow to load... Anyone else expericenced that? It doesn't seem to be a browser problem, I tried it on Chrome and Firefox 4 and the speed is pretty much the same. Might be a server problem, my server is usually kinda slow with creating thumbnails... Does the carousel create new thumbnails? If you have any more question just ask!

I have been asking about this problem for some time now.
It seems to slow to a crawl with albums having more than a few
hundred photos. I dont have this problem album carousel, but that
module has a bug where whenever you click on it to open a photo It
goes back to the first photo....
Good Luck
hi, i love this module but in the new version suddenly there is a wide white border around each thumb of the carousel, do you know how I can remove this border?

The carousel thumbnail uses your current buttons' theme. To change that for the thumbnails you can add the following to the screen.css file of your active theme:
PS Please note that you need to add that modification again everytime you upgrade your theme, since the file will be overwritten.

Hi.
This looks like a wonderful addition to G3. However, I am finding that the carousel actually shows up underneath the comments, so that the more people who comment, the farther and farther the carousel gets away from the picture. Even after one comment on my monitor, the carousel is invisible without scrolling. If a visitor has to scroll each time to get to the carousel, they won't use it.
Any way to put the carousel above the comment block?
I think the important value to change here is "weight", not "id". Or, possibly for the sake of tidiness, change both to the same number provided it isn't already in use, and it is greater than navcarousel... For me, changing the weight to 20, had the desired effect.

If the docs are not right please make the fixes for clarity. Or if the module order module is not right for docs you can make the docs better or if you give the the text you want changed I can change it as well.

but...
I sent hukoeth a pm, asking him to verify this, and update the docs if necessary.
I hope that was right. If not, let me know here or via pm.

grooveman,
The docs are for users by users....So if you see something that in incorrect or not clear enough you can make the changes to the docs yourself. That is a good way to contribute to the community, it helps other users and frees time for developers, to do what they do best, not write docs.
I really like this carousel. I have a question, though...I am using the ajax dynamic loading of the items. I like the concept, but to me, it would make more sense if it would automatically preload the next full "page" of items so that there was no visible loading to the user when the next button is clicked. Is there a way to change this or would it take significant code changes?

Qucik question. I use clean_canvas theme and I enabled the modules with 3.0.2. I don't see any carousel - top or botoom. I switched to the Gallery Wind theme and still don't see anything...Any suggestion?

When enabled, NavCarousel gives JavaScript error. Using latest 3.0.2 Gallery version.
Test with GD and Wind themes
Nothing is displayed on the screen
When module is disabled, the JS error goes away

Sammy_K,
Not sure in the module order module would help with the position of the comments/navCarousel or not.

Thank you very much for that hint - it helped me out now the navCarousel is shown above the comments and directly under the picture

The carousel thumbnail uses your current buttons' theme. To change that for the thumbnails you can add the following to the screen.css file of your active theme:
.carousel-thumbnail { background-color: transparent; }If you don't want the square borders as well, then you could make it:
.carousel-thumbnail { background-color: transparent; border: none; }PS Please note that you need to add that modification again everytime you upgrade your theme, since the file will be overwritten.

but it seems to work for me. Perhaps the author will update the page where you got your version from.
