Album Thumbnail layout [solved]

Post by carterbeech »

I'm running CMS 1.04 with Album 0.9.0-svn4.

I slightly modified the default template but not much.  The problem I'm having is the thumbnails don't layout properly.  Instead of filling a row and moving on to the next, I'm having one thumbnail and then a new row beginning.

I'm not sure if this is css or some ghosting thing in the db.

Any ideas?

This is caused by the long "Dinner Flight to Belle's Cafe in Westhampton, NY" then short "Haunted Hangar, 2005" description. Because the template uses CSS floats, the thumnails float into whatever space they will fit.
You can fix this by using a different template like "Tables" for your "Album list template" or just increasing or decreasing your description length.

Hope this helps,

Elijah

Hi Elijah or anyone...

where would i decrese the description length?  i've looked through the Greybox template but can't find any obvious place.  I like the thumbnail layout for the Tables template, is there any way that layout can be combined with Greybox?  I've tried cutting bits of script from both templates to try and combine them, but I don't know enough about scripting to get it right.
