Anyone else notice that while using IE7 (big surprise) when you view the slideshow, the section that holds the nav buttons ( image title, play, pause) is off center from the image. Is there a way to fix this? Sorry, I'm not really a coder so I wouldn't know where to start :)
Thanks,

Yep, I am having the same problem in IE7 where the Main Gallery Page with the Listed Albums, cannot click on the Thumbnails to take me to the Album itself. Have to right click and choose open link to see the album.
The Image information sits way off to the right of the screen and you have to scroll to see it.
The slide show does not work and when I click on it, I get the following message: Zenphoto error: image does not exist.
The above are just notes for you to take a look at, would be great if you could solve them as this is truly one of the most stunning of all themes.
Thanks Thinkdreams x Mana
I can't get the slideshow to work for the love of me. The edits to template-fuctions don't even exist in the most recent version.
Any update about this? Has the code changes in ZenPhoto 1.1.2 then invalidate the instructions for Thinkdreams 1.0? Just curious, since I like the theme quite a bit.
Yes, the theme will be broken in 1.1+, but lucky for you we have a themes page now with a version of thinkdreams and tons of other themes that DO work with 1.1+!
Thanks for the reply, aitf311 (hehe, I always feel as if I were playing "Spies and Counterspies" in forums, talking to others using agent codenames) :)
Actually, I've already downloaded the Thinkdreams theme from the link you provided (as well as other amazing themes). You can find the my test gallery using that theme here: http://www.magiczonepr.net/zenphoto/ .
From what you've told me here, then the Readme.txt that comes with the theme is outdated, still reflecting the information in this old thread.
Still, I'm guilty of coming to the forum and posting a question without doing some serious digging of my particular problem first. I just panicked and started looking for answers to The Problem(TM)... instead of reading carefully the error page. My bad.
When the "Slideshow" link appear on the gallery, it is pointing to a non-existing folder: http://www.magiczonepr.net/zenphoto/mastercollector/slideshow. "mastercollector/slideshow" does NOT exist, and there are no instructions (that I could find) telling me to create such folders etc. No wonder I'm getting this message: "Zenphoto Error: the requested object was not found. Please go back and try again."
However, I did find a script called "slideshow.js" on the /js subdir of the Thinkdreams, which is, obviously, what the link is supposed to use. After a little Googling I found out that the slideshow is the one at Scott Upton's page here: http://www.couloir.org/js_slideshow/ .
All I have to do now is figure out how to integrate Upton's slideshow properly with the gallery. Maybe easier said than done (I won't know until I try), but its either that or comment out the "View: Normal - Slideshow" links in the .PHP file...
P.S. Duh, of course the link to Upton's js_slideshow was already in the gallery sigh. I imagine I don't have to "integrate" the slideshow at all, it's probably already done... maybe it doesn't work because its not pointing in the right direction.
Hmm... looks I didn't have to do much. After looking at lines 56-63 of [b]thinkdreams_functions.php[/b]:
`
function getSlideshowLink() {
if (getOption('mod_rewrite')) {
return getAlbumLinkURL().'slideshow';
}
else {
return getAlbumLinkURL().'&view=slideshow';
}}
`
I decided to disable [b]mod_rewrite[/b] (which I activated previously for another theme that required it), and that did the trick.
Nevertheless, is there any reason why it [i]didn't[/i] work with [b]mod_rewrite[/b] active? I would prefer to have nicer-looking URLs, but I can live without that if it saves me the effort of getting the slideshow to work. :-/
I see.. and yeah it's step 2 the tough one for me to figure out :-P. Anyway, I think I can live w/o mod_rewrite.
