I believe the Album module is the most popular for displaying images...

Yeah, thats the one i went for and i seem to keep having problems with the alignment of the images in an album.

At the top of the page, for the first few images, there's an image on the left with an image directly opposite on the right and this goes on for a few rows all aligned properly. Then when you come across an image that is slightly longer than the rest of the images, there is no image opposite it. It ends up looking weird with 2 columns of images and half way down the page there is an image missing on the left. What CSS do i need to change to fix that, padding, margin etc.?

Also, in Firefrox the album page has the albums laid out nicely in rows but in IE they're in 1 column down the left, what am i missing here?

Here's a link to the album page and then just click into an album to see the missing images down the page...:

You need to close some links at the top, it makes all links like the album links unclickable...

I use the album module and it does the job.

Depending upon which template you are using for the Album module you will most likely need to change the height of the .thumb class. I have found that if the image has a height bigger than the .thumb height then it breaks the row.

Code: Select all


link}">thumbnail}" ... width="{$onepicture->thumbnailwidth}" />
Use the W3C Markup Validator to find the errors in your code to fix the links:
validator.w3.org

You have 24 errors and fixing those will fix your links.
