I just released version 4 of the module with the following changes:
[*]Fixed incompatibility with right-to-left languages
[*]Added some options how to display thumbnails
[*]Made dynamic thumbnail loading optional. If this is switched off the positioning / scrolling bug is gone.
[*]Added load indicator
I will continue to work on the issue with the positioning when dynamically loading the thumbnails and will post and update as soon I have it sorted out.
The updated version can be downloaded from the first post.
Hi,
It seems that the site doesn't include the JS file (which is my fault since I packed the wrong one in the post - I should stop doing 1000 things at the same time, sorry for that).
Can you download the fix from this post, follow the steps from the post before and report back?
That did it! Thanks for all the work. Looks great! And thanks on the theme. It's just a color modified Wind theme, but for something that I just started playing with as my first attempt at modifying CSS, I'm pretty happy with it. I still have a few stray colors that haven't been handled, especially in the admin theme, but hey, I'm the only one that annoys!
Now what I need is an option for the album folder. Your carousel wouldn't be bad, but isn't the ideal either. I'm not sure I'm ready to take on the concept of doing something more elaborate. All I really need is a simple list of page numbers. While I've seen a theme that someone had with a page number link list, I haven't seen a module for that, and don't remember the site that had it implemented. Ah well. At any rate, thanks again for all the work!
BTW, one comment/question. I note that with a large gallery it takes quite a while for the carousel to refresh. It sits there with the scrolling asterisk symbol for quite a while. I'm sure that's because of the way it refreshes its image list. Any ideas on minimizing that? Note that this is with the dynamic loading still enabled, so that's not it. Thoughts?
One more question. I'm updating a version to match my theme (unfortunately themes still don't override modules--need to talk to someone about that!), and the only problem I have is with the highlight around the active image. I didn't find anything that would affect that in the module CSS or my theme CSS. I'll scan some code, but if there's an easy way to change it, I'd welcome the input.
Hi! Added this module to Gallery Wind, and works great. I put the carousel on top since on the bottom display option it was displaying below the comment lines (kind of lost at the bottom, and if there are many comments visitors won't even see carousel.) If it was immediately under larger photo, that might be nice. Maybe you've already addressed this - if so, let me know. Also made thumbnails 150 since 50 was too small. Easy to configure. Great job, Uli!! Thanks!!

Not sure if I understand exactly what you are looking for but have a look at grey dragon theme. If that is what you want then have a look at the paginator.html.php file in views (if my memory serves me correctly). Maybe this can help you.

This is realted to the event I use to show the carousel. It will only be schown if all elements on the page are completely loaded. I was doing this differently before but it seems that Opera and Chrome sometimes showed it before it was loaded and positioned. If you don't mind then you can change the file navcarousel\helpers\navcarousel_theme.php. Change line 94 from $(window).load(function () {\n
to $(document).ready(function () {\n

I'm using the same classes that buttons are using. For the current image I use the hovered class. Let me know if this helps or if you need more information.

I found it. It's just buried in the themeroller css files. Of course now the problem I can't quite figure out is how to get the combined .CSS file to refresh so that I can actually see changes when I make them!
Just a heads up: I'm still working on getting the positioning fixed when dynamic image loading is switched on but I am currently quite busy so it might take a while.
I have however written a module addressing the problem that the carousel is displayed below the comments section (see first post)
By the way, for those that are annoyed of showing the carousel on the bottom of the comments, you can use resize_bottom() function instead of photo_bottom(). The negative side of this way is that the carousel will be shown directly under the resized photo, before the title & description.. but it's better than the bottom of the page, though.
Find (in /YourGalleryDirectory/modules/navcarousel/helpers/navcarousel_theme.php) :
static function photo_bottom($theme) {
if (!module::get_var("navcarousel", "abovephoto", false)) {
if ($theme->page_type == "item") {
return new View("navcarousel.html");
}
}
}
and change it this way:
static function resize_bottom($theme) {
if (!module::get_var("navcarousel", "abovephoto", false)) {
if ($theme->page_type == "item") {
return new View("navcarousel.html");
}
}
}
Hi mamouneyya,
If you are running the latest code from github you can also use "Module order". This will allow you change the order in which modules are being loaded and therefore in which order the content is being displayed.
It will not work in RC2 though you need the latest code from GIT.
All on one line ( but that should not matter) but the background-color: #ddd; is the culprit.
I don't know why the Carousel would be affected by it as I don't see g-button or button.
I will let you guys come to some consensus for what to do.
Yes I'm using the button classes for the frames around the thumbnails. However I discovered a few other problems related to your theme (I think it is only happening in the latest version because I know it worked before) which I will try fixing as soon as I can.
do you do special css for these? if so, may be wrapper prefix would allow more precice class definition? for buttons I have to be generic enough to get consistency.
but if there is a fix which could be applied to the theme, I will gladly do so
I guess, I have a problem with g-button use here then, since it is not a button per se.
in Wind theme as well as many other modules input[submit] is styled the same as some of the links which should appear as button - bluish rectangle representing button. Since this style used for links (ex. Cancel) and buttons (ex. Submit) to define your own theme, one have to redefine it.
For your plugin I think using g-button is conceptially not right because you define your block - roller (panel) with or without border, with arrows, with or without background color. And if thumbs are intended, then there is a style for it.
This would allow redefining it for the theme it could be used with.
For the most part, it is how it is today... just g-button...

Hi Serge,
I decided to use the g-button class for the container because having just the thumbnails make them seem a bit "lost" on the page. Therefore I wanted a frame around them and the g-button class seemed suitable as it should look OK in most themes out of the box.
If I define a custom class for this then people will have to make changes to the css if they use different themes which I want to avoid. This is why I still think that this solution is OK for most users (please keep in mind that there will be many users not familiar with changing css, html, php etc. once Gallery 3 will officially be released) but I am open to any suggestions to make this better.
One thing I could think of is to make this an admin option (e.g. "Show frames around thumbnails" or similar).
hi!
i just
- upgrades to the newest gallery code
- installed a new gallery
in the existing one it gives me an error on the upgrade page (cannot upgrade)
on the new installation its not possible to activate this module
close to the rainbow
I could reproduce the issue with the upgrader but not with the new install. However can you please try version 4.3 attached to the first post in this thread. This should at least get rid of the upgrader issue (and hopefully the other one as well.
@hukoeth - can you put 4.3 in git? gallerymodules.com has both versions 4.2 and 4.3 in there right now, and i want to make sure that if they are going to be listed under both the git-derived modules and the codex modules, the versions are the same.
thanks

Thanks for all your work on this great contribution.
I am seeing issues with gallery either not 'installing' 4.2, or it not playing well with version numbers that aren't whole integers (i.e. those that contain decimals).
I pulled a copy of the code in the first post, but it seems to be 4.0, not 4.3, despite the zip file name is 4-3.
Hi Avery,
The file attached to the first post is indeed 4.3 but will be reported as 4 in Gallery. I didn't look too much into the whole versioning system of Gallery 3 (yet). On the other hand I also don't want to increase the version number by one everytime I modify a tiny bit of code.
Its a fantastic module,
Thanks for it,
I would suggest if there is a way to avoid all the extra spaces between the thumbnails,
or may be reduce the distance between them.
Im still having problems with this module Active, Albums with more then a couple of hundred photos takes forever to load?
This is even If I dont use the Navcarousel thumbs to load a photo, but even If I use the standard gallery buttons. Going from one photo to the next with this module loaded takes a good 3 seconds? I tried loading it first, and changing the bit of code in which I read above..
Once I disable the module the photos load normally...
Marcus..
I would appreciate any help with this problem! I really like and need this module as large albums are to hard to look through photo by photo and this is a great solution, but its really sluggish on large albums???
Album Carousel dosent seem to display this problem but also cant get it to work above the photos which is where i want it ...
It is up and running, If Dave or someone could take a look I would be greatful....
Marcus www.armaniphotography.com/gallery
I have disabled "dynamic thumbnail loading". But for my taste the scrolling then was a bit too quick, so I added the following attribute to the jcarousel code to control the speed: animation: ". 600 .",\n
File: modules/navcarousel/helpers/navcarousel_theme.php
Now it goes much smoother.
Something I couldn't figure out yet is about the cropping. If I choose "crop thumbnails" to get square images then only the part on the left of a picture is visible.
But how can the center be displayed? How can a cropping be done on both sides (left+right) or (top+bottom)?
If you like and use this module,do not upgrade to gal 3.0.1 as it at this point is not compatable
and does not show..
Im sure It will be updated by the Author to work with the new release, but if you rely on it as I did
your better off waiting....
Confirmed - module is not compatible with the latest G3
problem is that it emmits javascript directly into header before any of the combined/aggregated JS code is loaded
Module need to be restructured to move initialization into external JS module related file and then add it to be combined with the rest
another approach would be to add js initialization into the footer instead
not to step on hukoeth's toes but there seems to be a lot of call for this popular module to work with G3.0.1
Attached is my first attempt at refactoring it a bit. Not tested much but it seems to work for me.
More time and effort needs to be done and will attempt to find some time to help out hukoeth with this great module.
I would like to use your great module. Unfortunatley it seems to do nothing (not bo be seen) in my gallery 3.0.1 - clean canvas Installation (eventhough its activated?)

Well I seem to be on the pay no mind list LOL...
Though the Nav Car Is updated and working thanks to Dave,
I am still having a sluggish issue with large albums, say
200 or more photos...
If anyone has some insight on this or a direction I can head
to speed it up please let me know..
Thanks..
From below use the nav car to go to the next photo..
I will try that ==> That works but with clean canvas team the position is not directly under the picture (comments are in between) ... looks somehow curios (http://test.kramann.net )
Nevertheless thanks at all of you especially floridave and the original author

there is:
input[type="submit"], .g-button, button { cursor: pointer; /* hand-shaped cursor */ cursor: hand; /* for IE 5.x */ font-size: 0.8em; color: #333 !important; padding: 2px 10px; margin-top: 0.4em; border: 1px solid; border-color: #999 #666 #666 #999; background-color: #ddd; font-weight: normal; }All on one line ( but that should not matter) but the background-color: #ddd; is the culprit.

Hi Serge,
For the images I use
g-button ui-corner-all ui-icon-left ui-state-default carousel-thumbnail
and for the highlighted (current) image I use
g-button ui-corner-all ui-icon-left ui-state-hover carousel-current
the two carousel-* classes set a shadow, margin and padding. The rest are standard theme classes.
Hope that helps,

big albums are sluggish such as this, http://www.armaniphotography.com/gallery/index.php/Head-Of-The-Lagoon-20102

Hi Uli,
thanks for this great module! I love it!
I have disabled "dynamic thumbnail loading". But for my taste the scrolling then was a bit too quick, so I added the following attribute to the jcarousel code to control the speed:
animation: ". 600 .",\nFile: modules/navcarousel/helpers/navcarousel_theme.php
Now it goes much smoother.
Something I couldn't figure out yet is about the cropping. If I choose "crop thumbnails" to get square images then only the part on the left of a picture is visible.
But how can the center be displayed? How can a cropping be done on both sides (left+right) or (top+bottom)?

If you like and use this module,do not upgrade to gal 3.0.1 as it at this point is not compatable
and does not show..
Im sure It will be updated by the Author to work with the new release, but if you rely on it as I did
your better off waiting....

Hello hukoeth,
Me too.
I have the same problem as reported by Armani2. The carousel does not show up after upgrading to Gallery 3.0.1.
Best regards,
Magnus

you need updated code from git

Confirmed - module is not compatible with the latest G3
problem is that it emmits javascript directly into header before any of the combined/aggregated JS code is loaded
Module need to be restructured to move initialization into external JS module related file and then add it to be combined with the rest
another approach would be to add js initialization into the footer instead

not to step on hukoeth's toes but there seems to be a lot of call for this popular module to work with G3.0.1
Attached is my first attempt at refactoring it a bit. Not tested much but it seems to work for me.
More time and effort needs to be done and will attempt to find some time to help out hukoeth with this great module.
Dave

Hi,
I would like to use your great module. Unfortunatley it seems to do nothing (not bo be seen) in my gallery 3.0.1 - clean canvas Installation (eventhough its activated?)
What could be wrong?
Greetings,
Sammy

Well I seem to be on the pay no mind list LOL...
Though the Nav Car Is updated and working thanks to Dave,
I am still having a sluggish issue with large albums, say
200 or more photos...
If anyone has some insight on this or a direction I can head
to speed it up please let me know..
Thanks..
From below use the nav car to go to the next photo..

@ Armani2: You mean it works with G 3.0.1. now? Version 4.3 does still not work for me.
Erm... ok I see I guess you are using the modified version from floridave http://gallery.menalto.com/files/navcarousel.zip
I will try that
==> That works but with clean canvas team the position is not directly under the picture (comments are in between) ... looks somehow curios (http://test.kramann.net )
Nevertheless thanks at all of you especially floridave and the original author
