reduce the number of thumbnail previews

[Chuck S]

This thread is about a code mod.

Not really sure how your post there ties in.

Thanks

I complained about 7 as soon as the change was made. It's really annoying.

My more link disappears. Please let me know how you did this exactly. Did you apply the code in showphoto.php given above, and then what did you do to have the more link work again and not disappear.

Thanks.

Any mathematical changes made just be done both in showphoto.php and showframe.php

[Eagle Eyes]

I made the changes as instructed in showphoto.php in your post.

However, i am unable to find the areas to update the showframe.php in order to avoid the more link error.

Do the changes have to be made in this code of showframe.php and if yes to what?

[Chuck S]

Thw $highf $lowf $middlef variables need to match the same mathematical changes you made to showphoto.php. I really can not assist in code modifications. My posts are just suggestions or nudges. Any real modifications users would need to do on there own there i no official company support of such changes.

I have changed these high/low/middile accordingly, but i have been unable to work this out. If there is someone who can help me with this, i will appreciate it. Even if i can remove more link it would be good.

Thanks.

You need to do it in both showphoto.php and showframe.php

Changed it to same numbers as instructed by you for showphoto.php code above, and similarly changes were done to showframe.php but more link continues to disappear, so since i cannot do this..even if i can remove more link that would be great.

[Chuck S]

This discussion has nothing to do with the more link.

The more link can be there or not be there depending on which query is triggered to pull next prev images.

This code allows 5 images to show instead of 7 however our company does not assist with code modifications so there is nothing more I can discuss about this. I posted that as a try if you want.

[Eagle Eyes]

If you have time please post a try for showframe.php.

I would gladly take that try.

JK. Thanks.

This is the same code in both files

[motowebmaster]

I haven't followed this thread in a while; just assumed that everyone already knew how to change this.

What I do is set the number of thumbnail preview rows to one (1).

Then in both showphoto.php and showframe.php look for this code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Below it are the parameters you are looking for. I use a highf number of 5, instead of 7, and then work from there to get what you want.

They should make these things configurable items in either the config file or in the admin menu.

I posted a full code block with number changes earlier in this thread fyi.

I changed the 7 to 5. My images appear fine, but when i click the more link..the more link disappears after one click.

Can you please share your changes to the code in showframe.php?

[Chuck S]

I never applied this mod so I really can not comment sorry. I posted a suggestion which basically only changes numbers in showphoto.php or showframe.php for various math calculations for you to try. I am merely saying your math has to be the same between those files thats all. I can not provide support for any such changes these are just thoughts.

[iownie]

thanks for the code snippets Chuck. That worked great for me.

[Chuck S]

no problem enjoy.

Easiest Directions of all, right above, IMHO.

Will give you 4 across in one row. Be sure to set "Number of thumbnail preview columns?" to 1/one in "Show Photo Options" in your PP Admin Control Panel. Note that this hack will only work for 1/one row.

[Chuck S]

The suggestions I made work fine but remember as I have posted this in this thread any changes you make in showphoto.php also need to be made to the same code in showframe.php
