Thanks for fast reply.

I'm very sorry, I posted in the wrong thread. It is the zpArdoise theme I meant, not zpGalleriffic v1.4.

Do you have a fix for zpArdoise? Please answer in the zpArdoise thread.

Please also advise if the fix you've posted in this thread is valid or not for zpGalleriffic v1.4? If it's not, hopefully a forum admin can delete/move posts?

Sadly bbpress does not alow to move single posts. So you will have to ask again there.

Does the 'image_effects' plug-in work with zpgalleriffic?
I am using chrome and I get an error below the album thumbnails:
"Error with bevel effect..."
thanks

Did you remember to go to the http://www.netzgesta.de/cvi/ site and download/install the effect as documented by the plugin?

apologies, didn't do this. downloaded and unzipped the file.
Though when i did put the bevel.js file in the image_effects folder it still gives an error.
its not crucial to my project, but what am i doing wrong?

HORIZONTAL SCROLLBAR
I notice zpgalleriffic produces an annoying horizontal scrollbar when I go to the album view.
There is no hidden image/images to reveal when I scroll across.
It is not present on the main Gallery page nor the 'Image details' view with the browser having the same dimensions.

It seems it may have something to do with the thumbnail strip across the screen below the main image in the album view.
Removing the 'comments' plugin does not affect it.

As a test, if you look at http://www.ozlangphotography.com/
you will see it occurs on this website also so it must be a global issue.
The scrollbar seems to be independent of the number of thumbnails in the strip.

I have tested on safari and chrome on a mac, and chrome in IE8 on windows with same result
thanks
I hope this is reasonable feedback!

@formulae: Will fix this soon, I see it appearing in chrome and ie (fine in firefox). It is also fine in all if you reduce the number and size of thumbs in the thumb strip (via theme options) so the strip is about as wide as the rest of the page (then the bar does not appear). Anyway, will see what I can do...

as far as that image-effect plugin, i am not familiar. Does it work in the included themes?

It looks like this theme took a lot of time and work but I must say I'm pretty disappointed that there is no way in the options to get this to look like the previous version. The fact you cannot and it is not documented, as far as I could see, is a huge issue.
I would have though if the theme looks different (except for colours) that it would have a completely different name.
I had been waiting to update zenphoto until the theme was updated to be compatible. Luckily I did a test first to save me all kinds of headaches restoring from backups but now I'm left unable to update zenphoto.

I'm willing to make a donation if you would either like to update the previous version or incorporate options to make the look the same for the new version, let me know.

Thanks

@formulae: fixed, file updated in download. To fix yourself, style.css, line 26, add padding:0!important, like:

`

.wrapper#thumbstrip .centered{width:1200px;overflow:hidden;padding:0!important;}

`

In addition of formulae's post, in IE (not FF) I have a horizontal scrollbar which is larger than the screen (around 300px) and when I arrive to the album page, it automatically scroll to the right.
I don't know I'm clear ?
I've tried to reduce the number of thumbs and to apply the fix "padding:0!important" but it doesn't change anything.

Any idea ?

Hi gjr, I updated the style.css, but it still persists, do I have to update all the zpgalleriffic files?

Looks neat, though I liked the old layout for the index page better.

So far I can't seem to change any options without crashing, and it still won't load music and animations right.

I get this error when I try to save options, unsure if it's because of zenphoto, galleriffic, or my server though.
[code]Zenphoto encountered an error

Hi Gjr, I cant'find my latest post and your reply about how to show the image filename.

I mean:
for example, I have this image
bangkok-024.jpg (filename) and in exif data its title is "bangkok street view".
On image's page and in exif details, I can see only the title "bangkok street view".
I wish to show also the filename image
"bangkok-024.jpg".

Acrylian wrote me:
Generally $_zp_current_image->filename gets the file name but I can't answer how to add this to this theme.

Please could you help?

The thumbnail list is generated by the next_image loop, within that you have to add that code. Of course unfamiliar with this theme it might not use that loop because of the JS stuff.

re Horizontal scrollbar...

I downloaded the style.css file and copied across.
It works Ok as you say in firefox but the scrollbar still appears in chrome, safari and IE.
Have I done something wrong?

@formulae: Ok try again, copy the style.css file over. (you might want to replace all files as I fixed some other minor bugs). It actually had to do with the comments block....

thanks gjr, works perfectly.

the other thing i mentioned was the image_effects function. It is one of the zenphoto 1.4 version plugins.
I couldn't seem to get it to work with zpgalleriffic. I haven't tried it in any other theme.
It is not essential, just wondered whether you had tested it with your theme.

The plugin gives a variety of effects/borders to the existing images from what I can read about them.

BTW: cool new website

I'm having a problem with the slideshow on the Album page.

It's taking approx 8 to 12 seconds for each photograph to be processed and appear. And with the busy box that appears in the centre of the photograph pretty annoying to try and watch and of course far too slow. Once it's been generated (filename_475_thumb.jpg - I believe)it works OK.

What is strange is that if I click the photograph, what looks like the same sized image appears immediately and using the arrows keys it changes instantly. (Tried on a untouched album)

I'm getting a similiar situation in the Detail View as well.

Is there any way to get all the images needed for the theme to be pre-cached. The pre-cache module only does "Image size" and "thumbnails".

Other than this the theme is working well and looks incredibly "sharp".

Custom sizes generated as request on a theme can only be "pre-generated" one way. Visit and request all images yourself once. Also note that js powered slideshows have to load all images to display before you can view theme. Depending on your server power and image size that might take a while naturally.

@Nigel_Aves -

Not sure if you are talking about colorbox or galleriffic. You need to find the right balance of theme options and uploaded image sizes.

If you are talking about colorbox: There is a setting in the theme options to have colorbox target either the full original image or the default sized one. If you choose the default sized option, you can set the size in the top core theme options, then pre-cache them all using the pre-cache backend options.

If you are talking about galleriffic: You can try adjusting the theme option - "how many images to pre-load". The reason you may be getting a big delay, but then it is fine is because you have too many images pre-loading (try reducing that number).

You also may want to look at the size of the images you are uploading. Large images take longer for the server to process and cache.

Of course, as acrylian says, if you visit all your albums once and cycle through the images, everything will then be pre-cached for your visitors.

Again, you need to find an acceptable balance between these user controlled options.
