Thanks very much for your help podz ??

Thanks skippy, that’s actually the one way I was aware of; it’s just that I was hoping to switch my install to demo mode so users can see the various plugins and theme mods too.

I see what you mean – all out of alignment in IE, right? My guess is that it’s due to differently-interpreted CSS stylesheets. If so, it’s a fairly complex subject.

One thing I might suggest is to look at the Equix theme at https://marcoss.com.ar/dsgn/equix/ because it employs a separate stylesheet for IE – maybe you can get clues for modifying your own?

Hello,

You could have a very similar gallery with the “Lazy Gallery” plugin by Nicholas Bruun Jespersen from https://www.lazyboy.dk/wordpress/

My experience is that it works with all themes, BUT, with many, it messes up presentation of the sidebar and other things. I’m sure with some editing of themes, they’d all work fine. Here’s a list of themes that I know work 100% with Lazy Gallery “out of the box” (there are porbably more):

AlmostSpring, Batavia1.5, BlackLetterhead, BlueCurves, Boredom, ChinaRed, ChocolateCandy, Complicated, ConestogaStreet, Copacetix, CrispAndClean, DXX, DeepBlue, Equix, GanjaPress, GreenTrees, Headspace, Imhotep, Jakarta, JustAMindset, KcClock (& other Kc…), LackOfLove, LastRegrets, Letterhead, Liberated, Limelite, MX4, Man~Ja, NanWhite, Neuron, NFOverload, Neat, OldTrain, OrangeSky, Oxymod, Parishuddha, PinkCurves, Psycho, Pumpkin, Quentin, RadMod, RandomImage, RoriRed, RottenTarp, Scattered, Sculpt, Soothe, Spiderman, Spiral, Squares, Steam, StylishBlueModern, SweetPink, WallLightGray, WarmAndDry, Weblogs.us, WhiteAsMilk, WordPressClassic, WordPressDefault WuanAutumn, Wuhan, ZigZag.

Hey that’s really cool … like a true online newspaper.

I’m no expert, but something to check on: this type of thing is affected by the “magic_quotes_gpc” PHP setting, as defined in your (or your host’s) php.ini file. I believe “on” is the desired setting to properly handle quotes.

No advice; just to say it’s beautiful! The only thing I personally would choose differently is the outside background color. I’d go with either black or a green. Good work!

FYI – there’s a “Random Image” theme by Mike Cohen here:

https://www.mcdevzone.com/random-image/

It manages to switch images on every page, with permalinks. Perhaps you could learn from this.

Hello, couple of thoughts …

– Perhaps your gallery software can be “told” to ignore thumbnails with a certain prefix?

– Here is the line from admin_functions.php at around line 251 that determines the destination of thumbnails. I wouldn’t really recommend it, but you could modify it:

$thumbpath = substr($file, 0, strrpos($file, ‘/’)) . ‘/thumb-‘ . $path[count($path)-1];

$file holds the entire path – including filename – of the large image. So what it’s doing here is chopping it down to just the path – no trailing slash – then inserting /thumb- and adding back on the large image filename.

You could do soemthing by using the Dashboard Options plugin over here:

Oh yeah – sorry – another thing is that with some themes, the sidebar from the DEFAULT theme displays following the gallery.

I suppose the thing to look for is anything that may have impacted iimage_browser – that popup size depends on iimage_browser correctly determining the size of images.

Not sure at all …

The obvious question – has anything else been changed? Upgrade? Any processes on the images? Any new plugins? Any other mods?

And is it the very same pictures that now do not get sized correctly?

Sorry – sentence above should read:

So switching between the two messes up formatting – unless you use the break HTML tag in quicktags mode.

General question:

When using quicktags and typing in the textarea, hitting the enter key twice produces a blank line, as expected. But switching to ChenPress, the blank line is ignored, squeezing text together. So switching between the two messes up formatting – unless you use
in quicktags mode.

Is this right, or am I missing something?

Thanks!
