Flickr Titles misaligned

Interesting… I can see that the title is getting originally set to a width of 500px, based on the default width of each tile (each tile starts with a default width before it eventually gets rendered to its actual width). However, there is code in place to set the width to the width of the photo the moment all photos have been rendered, and this does not seem to be happening for you.

Is it an option for you to use a Tooltip type of a title display? I ask because I have not come across this error before (and this code has been this way for over 3 years and it works).

I don’t think I can do anything with Tooltip as the titles are coming directly from Flickr and into my WP page (Avada). Pretty sure that Flickr and Avada do not give me the scope to do this? The only thing I can see that controls the titles in any way is the parameter title_position=’below’ in the photonic script that I use in Avada. I wondered if it had something to do with the fact that I have a mixture of title pages in landscape and portrait coming from Flickr?

Correct – that is a Photonic setting. You can set this globally for Flickr via Photonic → Settings → Flickr → Photoset / Album Thumbnails (with other Photosets / Albums) → Photoset Title Display.

Alternatively you can do this for each gallery individually. The Photonic Gallery Wizard shows this as via the option that you guessed. In the gallery wizard, this shows up in the screen, “Configure Your Layout”, as the option “How do you want the title?”. The default value is “Default from settings” (which will pick up the global option I have mentioned above), but you can change it to use “Tooltip”.

While the individual option does correspond to the title_position attribute in the shortcode, I am curious as to why you are having to edit the shortcode. The Gallery Wizard should be building this up for you automatically, and is insanely easier to use when compared to the shortcode editing. If, for some reason you are unable to use the Gallery Wizard, you can set this to title_position="tooltip".

I tried several title options using the photonic wizard; ‘default’ ‘html title’ ‘tooltip’ and ‘below’. With the exception of ‘below’ none of the others produced any title at all below the thumbnail. However some good news, having tried the other options and went back to ‘below’ the titles have all become right justified below against the correct thumbnails. If we could just get them centred that would be perfect.

My apologies, a small update on last post. The titles are right justified and correctly below each thumbnail until you get to the first thumbnail which is portrait and not landscape. Previously they all seemed to be randomly misaligned. However as soon as you use the ‘show more’ button all of the displayed titles are perfectly centred and below irrespective of orientation.

With the exception of ‘below’ none of the others produced any title at all below the thumbnail.

That’s correct – the other options are not supposed to produce the titles below the thumbnails. The “tooltip” option displays a tooltip upon hovering, the default HTML title displays a standard yellowish title when you hover, and the other options show a small overlay above the thumbnails at the bottom.

The titles are right justified and correctly below each thumbnail until you get to the first thumbnail which is portrait and not landscape.

Actually, that is not what’s happening. What is happening is what I had outlined previously – each title is being displayed at a 500px width for landscapes and 333px for portraits. For your landscape photos it appears to be right-justified, but it isn’t. If you observe carefully, the title spills over the photo edge. I can see that the code is being called correctly, but for some reason the title widths are not getting refreshed until you load more photos.

Since I have never encountered this issue previously, I suggested adopting a different title display style.

I see that you have been using Photonic for about 4 years now. So, was this working previously and did it suddenly stop working? If so, what changed recently? Photonic has not been updated for over 7 months now, so I doubt this was caused by any update to Photonic.

I have changed the display style and the titles are now coming out correctly although I now have additional data such as ‘no of photos’ which is not ideal but we can live with that. The problem has been occurring since we first started using photonic but has been on my todo list for some time. Thanks for your help
