Hi again,
I’m using now WP 2.5 and PX 2.1.6.
When I create a new album, and upload images into it, everything works fine, and no error messages are shown.
But then, when I try to build the gallery from an album, it says the selected album has no images. (”There was no images in the album you selected”).
In fact, if I go then to the album ‘edit images’ link, no images are displayed.
If I look for them through FTP, they are there, though.

Any ideas? It used to work, back in WP 2.3.3 and PX 2.1.4

Thank you!

Small thumbnail problem resolution

Hi - having spent a few minutes on IM with Benjamin last night, he resolved the small thumbnail issue for me. I said i would document the fix for others having the same issue to try & save him some time.

The problem:
———–
Thumbnails for galleries show up far too small to be useful. My experience was that this was always the case for IE & occassionally for Safari. I have not tested other browsers.

Resolution overview:
—————-
For those having this problem, you will have to do two things:
1 - make an amendment for each of your existing galleries;
2 - make an amendment in the photoxhibit database (obviously requires access to your WP database) to affect all new galleries generated by Photoxhibit.

Resolution tested on:
—————–
This work-around has been tested on my 2.5 installation of WP and with 2.1.6 of the Photoxhibit plugin against the following photoxhibit gallery style: table (no text) lightbox effect.

1 - Making amendments for existing galleries:
—————————————-
- Log into your blog & click on the Photoxhibit link;

- Click ‘Manage Galleries link;

- Select to edit the style of the gallery;

- at the bottom of the page you will see a text entry box with pre-filled style information;

- add the following text to the beginning of the text: #px25 img{max-width:none}

- replace ‘25′ in the text with the number of the gallery you are editing;

- hit the ‘process styles’ button at the top of the editing box;

- test that the change has resolved the issue for your gallery in the browser previously affected;

- repeat for each existing gallery.

2 - Making amendment to photoxhibit database entry
—————————————-
- log into your WP database (sorry for being vague about this step - but this will differ depending on the interface / access you have);

- find the following table: px_plugins

- find the entry ‘plugin_css’ in this table;

- add the following text at the beginning of the entry for each gallery type: #px img{max-width:none;}

- save the entry & log out of the database;

- test generating a new gallery in the admin console of your WP blog & then test on a previously affected browser.

Hope this helps those having the same issue - and thanks again to Benjamin for his time yesterday evening.

Hi Benjamin,
Using Safari as my browser, I can confirm that the management of a gallery now works after installation of 2.1.6.

I still have the problem where thumbnails are being displayed really really small - too small to make them usable. This happens in both Safari (sometimes) & IE7 (all the time). Any ideas on this one?

Cheers,

ALDP

Hi Benjamin, after looking for a decent gallery plugin that would work as I expect it to do I finally found your Photo Exhibit Plugin. It looks very promising!

I’ve got a question though. For all the galleries in a website I’m developing I would like to use one default stylesheet that is quite different from the current default. (I’m using the jQuery Gallery View II) I tried adjusting the CSS in pluginArray.php but it seems to override changes I made.

Could you tell me what is the best way to implement a totally different stylesheet without editing every single gallery?

Wow, it’s working in Opera, and the best part is the jquery.js file is not empty, which means the gallery is working too. Thanks for the fix, you rock! :))
