Black Boxes on SPECIFIC photos!
 

I have a very weird problem.

My gallery works ok overall, except that I have some specific photographs, that produce a black box instead of a thumbnail, when I select the thumbnail-round from the AdminCP. Check the link: http://www.travelstories.gr/photo/sh...p?cat=4&page=4

You can see that the second and the last photo in this page produce a black box (you can also see almost all photos on the next page have the same problem). If you click, the photo comes up ok. This only occurs in Firefox :eek:


Now, if I change back to normal thumbnail border, it's working ok. Also if I choose another border type like stacks, it also works!!!

This is really weid, I've been trying to see if there's something special about these photos and I simply can't. I have already rebuilt all thumbnails - same results.

The issue is the name of your photos is incompatible with a background style tag.

Basically a background url styletag goes like this

backgroun-url(http://www.travelstories.gr/photo/da..._(armonio).jpg)

The parentheses in your filename break the background tag. Only way around that is to rename your files or do not use the overlays.

Fantastic, how could I miss that. I would never have thought of that myself.

Many thanks for your quick response Chuck, I will rename the pictures manually, and instruct the members not to upload images with parentheses - or does photopost reject automatically these kinds of photos? (the ones I have now were moved from a coppermine installation).

Regards.

I have never personally tested that theory with filenames just something I saw by looking at your style. The image itself is fine with parentheses however you cant use it in a background tag because of the filename.

Ok thanks I'll test it myself. :)

Have a good weekend.
