How to have showphoto title under image frame?

[mjm]

As was in 4.86.

Thanks,

Change lines 72-84 in showphoto.tmpl from:

Content visible to verified customers only.

to:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Hello, we've tried this out and the following pics show results.

Pic #1 Frame around pic is not separated- is conjoined to rest.
Also (short) title is not centered.

Pic#2 Longer title, which also affects Index Most recent/Random preview bar - see Pic#3

I tried. You might need to tweak the html a little, I was working from my flu-congested head which isn't saying much.

We don't trim titles on the features, you'd need to add something yourself to line 611 in pp-inc.php:

$ptitle[$count] = stripslashes($ftitle);

like,

Content visible to verified customers only.

Again, thats off the top of my head, but should steer you in the right direction.

We had increased the title length, and want it all to show, (thanks for the instructions BTW), and in our 4.86 it works fine. As shown in this pic on our 4.86, left thumb, the title expands/contracts correctly with the width of the window.

I beleive this part worked correctly prior to making the above title below pic changes you provided.
(Will revert to original when Carole gets back home to verify)

Re: wanting title below pic (as in 4.86), this is the main obstacle holding us back from upgrading our 3 other apps to PP5.
...just personal preference not to have everything `boxed in'.

As long as there is a space in the title, you are fine. What was wrong with the other title was the lack of any spaces whatsoever. The browser can only format the lines if there are spaces.

Ah, yes, just realized this. It's working as it should in both versions.

Re: (as 4.86) title under showphoto
...will await further instructions, realizing it's Sunday.

Thanks,

Pic, to clarify what I don't want to lose, moving up from 4.86

[Michael P]

I changed the lines above.

[mjm]

Very much appreciated!

Will the title be self centering under the pic, as 4.86 with this change?

(just checking before I notify, er, wake up the Mrs...

This is still not working. See pic.
The thumbnail border is still being expanded with the title, and the title line and below is showing the border color.

Also for shorter titles, they show to the left under the pic and would like them to be centered under the pic as it was in 4.86.

------------------

A suggestion... that this (4.86 showphoto title layout ) continues as an option in a future release.
It could be an interesting development to offer different options for presentation of the showphoto title. Secondary to the image, this is the highest focal point on the page.

(My personal preference is to keep the title simple with the text outside of the box)

I would look at your style variables and html

I have never seen this on any other install but dead center.

You have something in your code that has to be aligning things left

[mjm]

Title centering is working, but not with the instructions given (post #1) to have the title show independenltly under the pic.
And there's the issue of the thumbnail border straying beyond the borders of the pic, as shown in the last attchmt.

Mark
We don't have any mods on this app. It's pretty much straight out of the box.

[Chuck S]

You can alter things however you choose just remember whatever html you choose if its not xhtml valid and in the proper place will though table displays off.

Your prev/next bars are justified left when I look at your pic

That's because there were only 4 pics in this album.

Regarding problem of thumbnail pixel border wrapping around and expanding with longer title...
This is the part that's changed in PP5, and the instructions provided isn't putting it back to the way is in 4.86.

Mark

[mjm]

This is what it looks like with thumbnail border set to 0.

Edit: With a short title everything is getting scrunched up.

[mjm]

Is this request beyond the scope of PP support?
I basically need the showphoto title to be outside the thumbnail frame, because with longer titles the frame expands away from the pic with the title.

BTW I have no idea why Google searches picks up a well described (4.85) show photo title while text in the description box below goes un-noticed...

All power to longer titles!

Mark
I'd really like to upgrade, but...

[Chuck S]

Anytime you ask how to modify the code from the default distribution it falls outside of product support.

[mjm]

In that case I am eternally grateful to PP support for going way beyond the line of duty.
Eternally? Well, at least for as long as I am using PhotoPost - which I hope to be for a long time.

Will ask at http://www.photopostdev.com/

I, and I think Michael had presumed this request would be an easy cosmetic fix, as per ... PP5 Why is showphoto title inside frame?
Michaels reply... "Because it looks good."
Feel free to change it if you have alot of tiny pictures.

and my reply.... It's not so much having tiny pics, but that we often have longer title descriptions under the pics. (that causes the frame around the pic to expand with the title)

---------------------

The best part about any new upgrade/features that PP provides is when features are offered as option. I like the optional features that you provide but I especially like the choice not to implement the feature.

I believe PP is going the right way by expanding the admin optional interface.
Maybe one of these days we will have an even more specific admin interface!
See Slide Show - consider these features

well the edit Michael posted above is correct.

To center it would could do like this

<p align="center"><b>$title</b></p>
