[Plugin: Good Old Gallery] gallery navigation links

  • Hi, it seems the gallery navigation links (next/previous) don’t display when transition is selected as “Fade”.

    Also these next/previous links appear to display at a location that is based on the height of the tallest image in the gallery. So if I have a mix of portrait (height > width) & landscape (width > height) images, then there is a huge empty space between the bottom of the landscape image and those navigation links.

    To fix this problem, these navigation links should always move to the bottom of the image currently being viewed.

    Alternatively there should be more configuration options that let the site admin pick the width &/or height in some type of relative terms to its containing element i.e the page.

    Can there be a quick fix for this?

    Thanks.

    next/previous not showing when fade is active is an issue I will have to look in to.

    but the positioning of any elements such as pagers, nav. links etc is an issue of css, to position them the way you want you’ll need to add css in your theme.

    Linus…Try the good-old-gallery with images that have resolution higher than the monitor you are viewing the site on. You will see the issue I describe with the next/prev navigation links not appearing right under the image as you might have inteneded.

    Your solution for me to implement a child theme (unless you mean I should develop my own theme, or do you mean I should modify css code of an existing theme) then add custom css, does not make sense. The gallery plugin should position navigation links in a proper position out of the box.

    I’m not a website engineer or developer, just an ordinary user trying to create my blog & website in wordpress.

    Well, you are somewhat right. BUT… the problem when developing a plugin like this is that you will never know what WordPress theme a user has activated, and what css is included in that theme. Unfortunately it’s impossible to make it work out of the box in all themes.

    Hi Linus. Thanks for responding quickly (on all my posts).

    The problem I’ve described in this post works fine with other galleries in pretty much all themes, but I’m not thrilled with the other features of the other galleries out there, or else I’d use those instead.

    PS, here’s an idea, if out of the box the image navigation links (next/prev) are ABOVE the gallery, they will never move.

    So I’d say, think about it, sleep on it over the weekend. There are multiple ways to skin a cat, I’m sure you’ll eventually figure it out.
