Filmstrip On Showphoto

dieselpowered · October 5th, 2006, 01:41 PM

Not sure if this is a bug or not, however, I thought there was a way to limit the number of photos shown?

Sometimes it shows three sometimes it shows 5 and it is throwing the page formatting out of whack.

Thanks in advance for the help!

It is suppose to show 5. It shows 3 if there are no more to show depending on your parameters passed

You can turn this block off or try it on the left right top or bottom whatever looks right for you.

If your using a very restrictive table width I would suggest turning it off unless using it on the left or right works for you

Chuck,

The <<more>> ajax feature in 5.5 stretches my fixed table width and since there's no way of reducing the no. of thumbnails in the filmstrip, can we at least edit the template so that the more>> links to the left and right appears in a separate line? But which template?

I like this feature and turning it off may not be option because it would be a waste of such a great feature.

Thanks.

You can edit the filmstrip templates there are two one vertical and one horizontal

Hi Chuck. Sorry, I am kind of lost looking at the template (I have edited other templates before). Can you please point out exactly which lines to edit? This is the filmstrip horizontal template. Thanks.

Code:

Thanks Chuck. I got the previous and next ajax to appear below the filmstrip. Looks good. My problem now is if I click on either link to see the next set of photos, the previous and next ajax return to the sides. Please take a look here to see what I mean - link removed by member. There may be other parts of showphoto that I need to edit?

same kinds of edit in showframe.php for the ajax

Hi topmedic,

I saw your earlier post about the << more >> issue and when you have a very restrictive table width - I wondered if you would be willing to share your edited 'showphoto.php' and 'showframe.php' files or at least the relevant code edits?

No problem if not, but thought I'd ask

topmedic · October 7th, 2006, 06:59 PM

This is for the horizontal filmstrip display. This will put the <<more>> ajax feature in another line so as not to stretch your fixed width table.

Open showphoto.php

Find: (2 instances, lines 483 and 498)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Change to:

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Open showframe.php

Find: (2 instances, lines 300 and 315)

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

How can we change to a number other than 5 - in my case I need 4. Which file to edit and where?

This really should be configurable either via a hack or in the Admin panel.

Thanks.

It has never been a configurable item in all the years the strip has been there, Good suggestion for one to make for PP 6
