The album title and description on subalbums is formatted strangely see: http://albums.sbillard.org/China/.

Also, the Gallery title is displayed over the thumbnails. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to show the album title. (Or omit this since the information is already at the head of the page.)

Would it be possible to show the image description under full image?

I have tried adapting SimpleViewer to Effervescence. I am clearly missing something. The SimpleViewer application loads then shows a small X on the left and a large X on the right. I copied code from SimpleViewer: #index and #Flash from the CSS and the imagae body code from album.php:

...

Well, you need to have the code for the xml feed etc in there, as well as the stuff for subalbums. Try taking the albums.php from the simpleviewer theme and changing only the div names etc to math effervescence. And then switch the stylesheet. You shouldn't have to modify the index.php from Effervescence.

I don't understand how the theme works skwid. I run the svn zenphoto version but simpleviewer still only display two white crosses instead of my photos in the albums. Is there any manual script to run to make it work ? (you were speaking about "Very simplified xml generation").
Or maybe is it an issue with my hoster (mod_rewrite is disabled here).
Your demo gallery looks great anyway :)

Thanks, that did the trick.

Here is the modified Effervescence: http://albums.sbillard.org.

One strange thing. No matter what I set the value of thumbnailRows I get 4 rows. I was hoping to use more of the space for thumbnails (since I shrunk the columns to 2 to allow more room for landscape images.)

Also, any thoughts on how to add the image description to the caption? I'd like to display the image title with the image description under it. I read the FAQ regards to using CDATA, but I suspect I don't understand (or it conflicts with php) because when I attempted this only one thumbnail was displayed.

sbillard: Congrats on modifying the theme to suit your needs :) That looks great ! Please post it on the wiki :)

dodo: Hum yes it might not work without mod_rewrite, I would have to check it out with the option disabled, but I don't really have time. All the xml generation is taken care of in album.php, there is nothing else to run.

sbillard: for the image description you might need to add a CDATA field in the xml generation, with both the title and the description.

I've added Effervescence_SimpleViewer to the WIKI pages.

Skwid: I have not figured out how to make CDATA work. Everything I have tried breaks the viewer.

Skwid, feel free to submit your modified template replacing mine. Great work.
