Description length below thumbnail

To left align the text below the thumbnails, add to Table IV-A15: Custom style:

.wppa-thumb-text {
text-align:left !important;
}

For thumbnail text, i will provide the same option as Table IV-B11: Run nl2br or wpautop on description for slideshows; in the next version.

Thank you for adding that feature.

Added the above CSS to Table IV-A15 – no change (see example URL above). The text is still not on the left side. Could there be other options / styles that inhibit this?

E.g. the style of the frame says margin-left = 8px

Can I change that?

Looking at the source it might be a good idea using the name instead of the full description.

Currently your link shows masonry thumbnails, they do not show text at all…

as the slideshow without arrows do not longer work for me

Please explain. Why don’t you use the browse buttons in Table II-B13.1 ?

E.g. the style of the frame says margin-left = 8px

Talking about default thumbnails: Table I-C1: Thumbnail size, and Table I-C3: Thumbframe width should be equal. In this case the css i gave you above will align the left side of the thumbnail text with the left edge of the (landscape) thumbnail image.

If you use thumbnail popups (Table IV-C8) you should also add the following css:

.wppa_pu_info {
text-align:left !important;
}

The slideshow feature (this is the one I used all over my site so far) is hard to handle without the next and previous handles. The extra box with counter takes extra space getting too much at the end. So I was thinking about a new look & feel and I’m trying the thumbnails instead.

Yes, I was trying the masonry thumbnails and decided to keep this “style” all over. Had to rearrange and fiddle around with some of the other setting to get a good user experience all over. Have to clean up all the articles now (as they use the slideshow as well).

Changed everything to the style: masonry thumbnails => lightbox (incl. description and rating and SM).

I’m still not through all replacements and hope to get everything solved to that “easy way” I’ve chosen.

One thing I could not solve so far. Maybe you could give me an advise?

Coming from the galleries:
https://fosm.de/galerie/

Using covers versus cover:

[wppa type="covers" album="7" size="auto" align="center"]SoSWF - 2013[/wppa]
[wppa type="cover" album="6" size="auto" align="center"]Feis Ile - 2012[/wppa]

Album 7 does have sub-albums, 6 not.

Tried to get a new page with only the masonry thumbnails. Alle settings (found so far) work for covers now. But with cover I get the same page with all the others still on and the actual album as masonry thumbnails (link to = same). I would like an extra page as with covers.

I’ve changed in album 6 the link type to thumbnails and to Link to page “Foto-Auswahl”. The landing page has shortcode: [wppa type=”landing”][/wppa]. But now I get an empty landing page.

Are there more settings? I want to have the same behaviour as with the albums that are from the “covers” sections. At the end I do see all albums (the parent-albums with parameter “covers” list each album individual). But only the one from the “covers” are behaving the way I like it: extra page, thumbs.

I leave the galerie-page as is so you can check.

Thank you

The album Feis Ile – 2012 expects the 8th shortcode on the target page, because it is occurrance 8 on the source page. Hover the album title and you will see h ttps://fosm.de/multi/?occur=8&photos-only=1&cover=0&album=6. Just add enough times [wppa type="landing"][/wppa] without linebreaks inbetween, so it can land on the 8th wppa shortcode placeholder.

The layput of the covers is not always the same height. You can try something with Table I-D2,3 and 4

Fixed the Landing Page. Works now.
Have to do rework for all the albums as they do land on the original page – some at least.

Regarding the same height… I’ve recognized there is a lot of space between the Title and the description. Therefore some “longer” descriptions break the height of the thumbs at the end of the box. Changing I-D2,3 and 4 will increase all boxes. This would waste space as this is already a very long list of albums (all, getting more by time).

Is there a way to reduce the space between header and description?

Summarized the Parent albums by using cover (instead covers) and use a clean link.

Did a recalculate thumbs VIII-A4 several times now. But each time I refresh the Settings-Page it tells me “crashed”. The Thumbs are displayed a little weired (not correct sizes sometimes). After refresh of the page everything looks neat. Has this to do with the recalc? Nobody would refresh the page and so it looks ugly.

Covers look nice now, you can set links to thumbnails of the childalbums in Table VI-C11.
If so, hovering tells you ‘View the album: [albumname]’

Regenerate thumbnail crashes: do it not scheduled (Cron job), but interactive (Start button). when it crashes, click the skip one button.

Recalc manually did the job. Now all new pages show the thumbs as expected.

The Table VI-C11 is a nice feature but it does not work for me as I would need an extra landing page that I can not choose in the options. This would be the only way to have a clear use guidance. If I enable it (with the options available) I would open the Thumbs on the same page. So every other sub and the parent would disappear, the other albums stay. Nobody would see the way back (except the back button).

Is there a possibility to get the micro thumb bigger? I did not find an entry for that.

Though the albums look good now there is a lot of space between the header (titel) and description. Is there a way to get rid of the extra spacing? There seems to be an extra paragraph:

</h2>
<p class="wppa-box-text wppa-black wppa-box-text-desc" 
style="min-height:54px;font-weight:normal; " >
<p>Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2016 & RoadTrip NorthCoast 500</p></p>

Thank you once more for your great help.

The first <p>:

<p class="wppa-box-text wppa-black wppa-box-text-desc" style="min-height:54px;font-weight:normal; " ></p>

is supposed to contain the album description.
You can change the min-height in Table I-D4.

What is exactly the content? is it just ‘Mein Besuch beim Feis Ile 2015 – dem Whisky Festival auf der Insel Islay’ or did you add html tags in it?
Also, what is the setting of Table IV-D8 ? If it is ‘Linebreaks and paragraphs’ change it to ‘Linebreaks only’, OR set Table I-D4 to 0

It turns out to be a bug. Will be fixed in the next version. Setting Table IV-D8 to ‘Linebreaks only’ will do; when set to ‘Linebreaks and psrsgraphs’ the extra p-tag is created.

Thanks, switched the setting in IV-D8. Looks much better now.

I understand VI-C11 is not possible on extra landing page. So my last question would be “Is there a possibility to get the micro thumb bigger?”. I did not find one. So I leave it as it is.

Thank you once more. Great Plugin and fantastic support!
