THANK YOU CMSMS... for an EXCELLENT CMS solution...

I'm nearing launch of a client site, and I've encountered two problems that I can't seem to figure out.

CMSMS v 1.2.3
News Module v 2.6
Photo Albums v 0.9.2

1) The News module is an excellent tool... but for some reason, the summary page looks like complete garbage in Safari 3.0.4 (Mac). Has anyone encountered this problem? FF and IE are fine.....  ??? ???

2) I'm trying to increase the number of columns in my Photo Gallery module to 3. I'd also like to see only 7 rows. Will it auto paginate??? To increase to 3.... what am I missing? I've gone under the Options tab... but that didn't change anything.  ??? ???

Help!

Thanks....

AA

In the Album module, if you need the rows and columns options to apply, you need to use the tables.tpl template.

Ahhhh.. Yes.. I see that doing that, I can adjust the columns. Thank you.

BUT.....

I want to use the "default" template (using lightbox as it is)... just displaying the thumbnails to be 3 columns, rather than the default 2.

Anyone?

What I've done in the past is limiting the width of the container with CSS. Because the layout is css based (I'm doing this from memory, so correct me if I'm wrong), the thumbs are floated.  So, if you limit the width of the album or picture container in the css file, you can control how many columns are displayed.

What I usually do is uncheck the option to use the prebuilt CSS file in the Album settings. Then I copy and past the css contents into my primary stylesheet so I can manage the css rules.
