What's wrong with ALBUM ???

Post by raveX »

When I place a tag into my page content and choose defaul page that contains the album, I get thumbnails for all my pictures. And that is great. However, when I click on a thumbnail to view the image, it changes my page content by applying the real size image above the thumbnails. So, for me to view the image in smoked JS applet, I have to click the thumbnail again. How can I get this working on the first try and without dislaying a fill size image at the top of thumbnails, just the Java's smoked frame.

All I'm trying to do, is to make thumbnails of pictures on my page, so by clicking on them visitors can view those pictures in fill size with a smoked frame around them.
Thank you for your input.

Here I have included an image of what it currently looks like:

I'm not going to tell you which album template I'm using, nor what ver. of cmsms, or ver. of album or give a link so it can be seen in real time, I'm just going to give you as little info as possible so you can just guess what the problem may be...

Please read the postings about how to actually get answers, these type of posts will get ignored or deleted by some folks...

And what does this mean?... "When I place a tag into my page content and choose defaul page that contains the album"

hi raveX,

Which Album template are you using?

What do you mean by "smoked JS applet"?

It sounds like the problem is that the JS popup is not working the first time and instead the page is reloaded showing the large image on the page?

What tag are you using to call Album?

I hope you're able to get it working,

Elijah

Sorry,
I'm using Albums defaul template.
Ver. 0.9.3.
CMSMS Ver. 1.4.1.
I think it's the only non flash gallery that this version of CMS comes with.
I'm using this tag to call the script:  {cms_module module='album' albums='1' action='recently_updated' number='40'}

I was testing this page on a local server, that's why I could not place a link. I just got it uploaded, here is a link: http://www.oahucity.com/index.php?page=testalbum

You have 2 diff. templates working for you, when you call action='recently_updated' it uses the 'recently_updated' template, if you take it out you will get just that album using the 'thickbox/default' template...

If I take this action out, it shows me my album thumbnail, and thats not what I'm looking for. But no matter it if I set my template as "recently updated" or "default", it still does the same thing.

By the way, Happy New Year!

This tag should give you just the thumbs for the album not a single thumb that links to the whole album...

{cms_module module='album' albums='1'}  if your first album is id #1 which you can see in Album admin...

Like so...
