By the way, its working ok in android on firefox, but not on desktop.

Also, here is another link to some galleries which have many thumbs, some of these thumbs haven’t been clicked yet so you can test them too.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, one more thing…. I am noticing too that when i change the “new photo descripion” in IXD5, then I goto an album and i hit “apply new photo description to all images in this gallery”, it changes them in the album admin screen BUT if i then go to the live site and try to FB share the image it has the OLD photo description on it. Please advise to this too. Thanks!

Share issue: Strange, i have no explanation for this.

Photo description: If you have a caching plugin active, flush it, and tell me which it is, so i can add it to the wppa supported caching plugins if there is an api call to flush it from within wppa, or fix a possible bug if it is a wppa supported caching plugin.

photo description- i have no cache system in place but seems it was that i needed to refresh the almub admin and settings pages and it worked.

More questions: Description box width and social share box width – i want to make the description box column width and the share box colum width less wide without changing the ‘auto’ responsive of the remaining elements. see: https://www.oisheichildrensmosaic.org/share-smiles/

how can i do that? and actually, how can i modify the layouts of the slide show if i want to design it different aestetics? can you tell me what files to play around with in cpanel? (or do you have other templates?

Lastly, can you look at how i am using the wppa for my site and make any suggestions to make it better, i may not be using all your features… or refer me to sites that are using wppa in different ways? it feels like there is too much space between things and i am trying to tighen it all up so it fits without scrolling.

thanks for all your support.

Also…. what action actually makes the “views” tally? i have veiws on under thumbs in an album, then when clicked they goto slideslow, but the view doesn’t tally for that click, why? please advise as to what activiites do and dont cause views to tally/

one more thing too- when i added the LIKE button and you click to like, the dialog box it brings up shows up BEHIND the slide show image. Please advise.

how can i make all the social facebook share boxes add ‘@oishei childrens hospital community art mosaic’ in the persons share dialog box on top, above the thumb and standard description text?

To make the name and description box smaller ( in this example 80% ):
add to Photo Albums -> Settings admin page Table IV-A15:

.wppa-name-desc {
width: 80% !important;
}

For the sm box:

.wppa-share {
width: 80% !important;
}

one more thing too- when i added the LIKE button and you click to like, the dialog box it brings up shows up BEHIND the slide show image. Please advise.

A link to a page that shows this please…

thanks- for the name and description box smaller… it needs to stay centered, but the above solution pushes it to the left. Is there another added code for centering it?

Sor the facebook LIKE box fallign behind the slide show… its also “short” in width, here is a link to another site to illustrate….

also, i noticed that on your page you have that “share issue” too from my first question above… i clicked on one of your slide show images for “share” and it loaded only the text and link, but no image, then when i hit cancel and share again it loads the thumbnail and the text and link.

is there a way to prepopulate the top part of the facebook share comments area? you know- the blank space that says “say something about this” (located above the thumbnail and link/description box

Question: I changed the App Id in WPPA settings but still when i share images from the website it says it is shared with “Widget Share Log App” rather then the app id that i put in wppa.

Below are two share codes from my two sites. the first one, example A has some extra code in the wppa fb share (Flang%3Den) This seems to be causing problems in wppa facebook share… can you tell me what it is and what setting will remove it in wppa?

example A
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?app_id=784939258222049&sdk=joey&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oisheichildrensmosaic.org%2Fshare-smiles%2F%3Flang%3Den%26wppa-album%3D8%26wppa-photo%3D37%26wppa-cover%3D0%26wppa-occur%3D1&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button

example B
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?app_id=784939258222049&sdk=joey&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smileblock.com%2Fshare-smiles%2F%3Fwppa-album%3D2%26wppa-photo%3D7%26wppa-cover%3D0%26wppa-occur%3D1&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button

it needs to stay centered,

.wppa-name-desc {
width: 80% !important;
margin-left: 10% !important;
}

is there a way to prepopulate the top part of the facebook share comments area? you know- the blank space that says “say something about this” (located above the thumbnail and link/description box

Does this mean that you want to change the text ‘See this image on <sitename>’? if so, i can make it editable in a future version.

Question: I changed the App Id in WPPA settings but still when i share images from the website it says it is shared with “Widget Share Log App” rather then the app id that i put in wppa.

Facebook caches share data and urls, so it may take a while before you see the changes.

This seems to be causing problems in wppa facebook share… can you tell me what it is and what setting will remove it in wppa?

What problems?

—–Does this mean that you want to change the text ‘See this image on <sitename>’? if so, i can make it editable in a future version.

No- it means that above the thumbnail and above the “see this image on” box there is an area for the person sharing to type in a comment before they share it. I want to have each fb share popup contain a prepopulated comment in this area.

The scrape thing makes sense, thanks

on the last question, it isnt the language thing that is causing the problems. i guess i need to ask, do i need to paste actual FB sdk code onto a page somewhere? or no?
