CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello everyone,

I am totally new to the whole website thing and CMSMS, but I managed to make a website using a template and editing it just by trying...

I am going to use this site for my photography, so the album module seems great to me. The only problem is: I don't get it 
If someone could look at my site www.partana.nl (Portfolio) and maybe tell me what I should do to get my albun like this http://www.bennyvbonora.com/photogallery/album-2/21/

Oh and I apologize for being a pain-in-the-ass (if you think I am...because of the question..)

Thanks!

Partana

Those little frames around the picture are part of the picture, I think he made the frame then put each image in one that's why they show up in the thumb...

This is a semi standard Album look... http://www.multiintech.com/index.php?pa ... orbit_pics

The problem is that the "Album (for default, ImageGallery, and Thickbox templates)" is not attached to your page template.

It's my fault for not writing instructions for how to attach a stylesheet.

Doing the following should fix your problem.
1. Login to the CMSMS Admin Panel.
2. Go to "Layout » Templates"
3. Click the (Attach Stylesheet to Template) button to the right of your template (I can tell from your code that you have a template id of 20 so the following link should work: http://partana.nl/admin/listcssassoc.ph ... late&id=20 )
4. Choose "Album (for default, ImageGallery, and Thickbox templates)" from the drop-down menu.
5. Click the "Add a Stylesheet" button.

Sorry for not writing these instructions earlier. I'll add them to the SVN version of Album so that they should be included in the next release.


Let me know if you have any problems and I'll be glad to help,

Elijah

My first semester went very well. I was quite busy though. It's nice to have a break (even if only 3 weeks).

Thanks Elijah, that did the trick.
There only one more thing: The album is also showing in my right frame where I don't want it to be (http://partana.nl/index.php?page=portfolio). How do I remove them?

You must have the tag in content2 also...

Could you please tell me which tag, and what content2 is?

I'm really new to all this...

Ow sweet,

It works

My mext question: how do I put a white border around my pictures?

Look in the CSS for Album that you just attached to the template, should have calls for border on thumbs...

Thanks again! Ireally appreciate your help.

My last question for now: How do I change the "close" button at the bottom of a picture?

Edit to my previous post:

I'm trying to apply the lightbox2, what I have done so far:

-Added the lightbox.css to a new css (called lightbox)
-uploaded the icons
-changed the urls of the icons in lightbox.css
-added the lightbox.css to my template

As you guessed, it doesn't work

Change Template?... I see no album CSS for it....

Yeah, I did it all over again, it was a mess...

But now I have another problem: When I add album.css to my template, my whole site goes from the center to the left 

(www.partana.nl default at the moment)

The main and the content2 are both set to float:left...

    div#main {
        float: left;
        width: 70%;
        display: inline;
        margin-left: 2%;
        padding: 0 1% 0 2%;
    }
    div#content2 {
        float: left;
        width: 25%;
        display: inline;
        padding: 0 1% 0 2%;
        border-left: dashed 1px #cccccc;
    }
