Album Module not working with version 1.8.1 [Solved]

Post by cd163601 »

I have just upgraded from CMS Made Simple version 1.7.1 to version 1.8.1.  The Album (Photo Albums) module doesn't seem to display the correct styles any more.

The albums no longer display using their correct styles and when clicking on an image, again the Light Box template isn't used.

I know it's a very old module but it is very useful.  Any suggestions?

Example: http://www.coppice-school.org.uk/news-e ... otos-2010/

Many thanks
Colin Davis

attach Album stylesheets manually to your page templates and don't rely on Album to do it automatically for you anymore

Thank you for that. What I have done is, in every page that contains any Album smarty code like:

{cms_module module='album' .........}

Immediately before that line I have added (in Source Code):



That seems to work.

Hi there.

Thanks 4 this hint. I placed the line


directly into the template in the content area like this:


       
           {content}

...

Its faster than searching for all pages with album module called up.

Cheers

You can put it in the template also, but NOT in the body-area - it MUST be in the head-area

Yes it works but if you care about validation of your html you need to put that in the of the template(s) that way every page will get it...

P.S. You should always use lowercase for things like link, meta, img, href, etc...
