Album in CMS 1.6

[ittsmee2]

Is anyone else having problems with Album in the CMS 1.6?  I'm having difficulty in getting it to work.  I'm using all the default settings and it loads the album but when you click on the image to view it just stays like it's loading but it never loads the full size image.

Is there another Album program that is as nice?

Album is working great for me... tested on many sites.. did you try changing the template? What about paths? JS conflicts?

Sounds not like module issue.

What browser do you use?
Are there any browser plugins that interfers with javascript?
The album module uses by default the lightbox script to display the big picture.

Take a look into the html output.
Is the lightbox javascript called several times?
This may happen if you use several albums at one page.
You need to remove the link to the script from the album templates and place it into your page template in the head section.

just noting that i've also encountered the album module NOT working on the frontend display with the upgrade to 1.6 - but have not jumped in to resolve this just yet.

have ruled out any browser or OS issue, but i'm suspecting there are some path related issues based on the nature of some of the changes in 1.6.

Use {cms_module module='Album' ....} and not Content type

After upgrading to 1.6 Album wasn't even showing up for me.  I had to re-download and install it.  Then the albums were showing up again.  I haven't tried to use it yet, so hopefully it will keep working smoothly.

Album work fine on my site...

CMS Made Simple 1.6.6/Album 0.9.3.

I have followed the suggestion to uninstall and reinstall the module.

I can create and edit a new page, including having multiple albums on the same page. All is well.

What doesn't work is that an existing page doesn't show in the back end. The Current Pages List under Content/Pages shows a gap in the sequence of numbers where the page should be, but I can't see the page to check and/or correct its contents.

The poster in this thread says he fixed the problem, but doesn't give a hint as to which part of TFM he R'd:

Can anyone provide a clue (other than RTFM - which I can try when I get home tonight)?

Thanks

Update: I have managed to make the page visible by hacking the database to change the "type" field for the problem page from "albumcontent" to "content" and then re-entered the cms_module tag. Now it can't find the CSS styles called out by the default Photo Album template (e.g. ), but I can override that if I can't locate the appropriate style sheet(s).

If anyone foresees unintended consequences from my hack, please let me know.
