CMS Made Simple Forums

Finally!!..

Album has been updated to work with the latest version of CMS Made Simple...

I'm releasing it as a beta, for now, but it really is ready to go...

Changes:..

Metadata input box for JS, style sheet and $(function() calls without having to use {literal} tags, it requires the {Album action='metadata'} tag in the metadata box in page Options or in the global metadata box.

Cleaned up some old templates and added a new jQuery lightbox template, no more table based templates.

Import/export of album templates.

Updated admin interface with new icons, drag/drop to sort pictures.

Default style sheet now installed in Layout > Stylesheets, new default thumbnail look is the only thing it controls, each template has it's own style sheet in it's folder called in the metadata.

Help has been changed to reflect new parameters so please read it before using Album:

The tag is much simpler. {Album}

Calling specific albums has changed. {Album albums='one,3'}

Showing only one specific album is now driven by the Albums name.
{Album albums='album name'}

Limiting how many thumbs show on the page with pagination is new.
{Album number='5'}

Available in Module Manager or here http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/project/files/167

A sample of some of the exciting new templates I've made for it...

Looks really great! Thank you!

Hello Dr.CSS,

Great photo album templates!!!

Just installed Album 1.10 and followed first few lines in the Help section for this module. Have created a sample album and uploaded a couple of test photos on this album.

I'm quite stucked now. Don't know in which template I will use/place this piece of code:

<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/Album/templates/db/js/jquery.js"></__script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="modules/Album/templates/db/default/default.css" media="screen" />
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#jQligallery a').lightBox();
});
</__script>

My album doesn't seem to work as expected. I'd like to use your Fancy Box photo album template in my site. Have a check here of the site I'm trying to develop and advise me where I went wrong - http://www.stjosephsinternational.ac.pg (go to Photo Gallery link). Please help.

I don't know where you got that bit of code but it should be in the metadata box of the Album template called jQlightbox...

I just found a problem with that template, the folder is using an uppercase L and the code calls it in lowercase so it should read...

<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/Album/templates/db/js/jquery162.js"></__script>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/Album/templates/db/jQLightbox/jQlightbox.js"></__script>
<__script__ type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
$('#jQligallery a').lightBox();
});
</__script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/Album/templates/db/jQLightbox/jQlightbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

NOTE: I cut a new release with fixed folder name...

Dr.CSS, can you add 2 templates(libs) in next version? This is FancyBox ver.2.x and Pirobox - both look so great!

It now works...thanks for your post.

Could you please outline the steps here how I can use either the "Pirobox" or "Fancy Box" templates (http://album.multiintech.com/) in my site.

I found these two the best and 2nd best amongst your samples. Excellent job mate!

I found a small bug.
If you import a template from a file into the database with an unusual name (for example instead of "lytebox", set the template name "lytebox!"), then afterwards it will be impossible to remove from the database via admin interface.

Can't get it worked

I have done several things but nothing works for me? Any idea? http://www.fotovankalmthout.nl/index.ph ... udiofoto-s

I looks like the jqlightbox is working but you don't have the Album Module style sheet attached so the thumbs are not styled...

Hi Dr CSS, could you help me apply Pirobox template for my photo gallery....with thanks. http://www.stjosephsinternational.ac.pg.

Thank you Dr.CSS - this is very nice - I think it will be much easier for my clients to use.

I am only having one gallery per page. What I would like is for the gallery to open with the actual gallery when I click on the page link and not open with a thumbnail which then needs to be clicked to reveal the gallery.

Still not too conversant with templates and such - how do I open the template for this (am just using defaults at the moment) and what needs to be changed.

Thank you.

Happy Holidays!
[Later] I have now got the gallery opening on the page but still need to remove the initial thumbnail.

To get just one album open on a page showing all the thumbnails...

{Album albums='name of album'}

It is in the Help on how to do this, also takes number='4' to show just 4 of the thumbs with pagination...

Yes! I actually did find this in the Help and changed it.

I still can't see where to remove the intial thumbnail though.

Apologies for post below - I opened the wrong window and posted in the wrong thread.

I set up some categories and now the albums open as I wanted.

Thanks!
