Ok, not sure, am i correct posting question to this forum forum.

my web: http://vd.gms.ee
using template: salted.

had install it and found several thing not worked. and by this, need a support:
1.Calendar. It's not working at all.
2. Photos aligment. I want that all photos, which are less than 800pxls in wide should be placed in the center.
3. Thrumbails. In some pages they are working well (130x30pxls), i other, they are quite big. why ? (f.e. http://vd.gms.ee/index.php?showimage=47)
as well in the "archives" - different size (http://vd.gms.ee/index.php?x=browse)
4. EXIF. there no exif date showed. How can i put this (usually it's authomated) ?

any other bug's you found there ?

thanks to all, who can advice, what and there should I change.

Valerij,

it's cruel to say but this template generates so much errors, it's a real shit (forgive me)

but, as I do always, I recommend you to open your site in FireFox with the installed webdeveloper extension and use the validating tools there...
or open your page in

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fvd.gms.ee%2Findex.php&chars et=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=%28detect+au tomatically%29&ss=1&verbose=1

or
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A//vd.gms.ee/index.php

I would say, start first with the standard-templates which come with PixelPost
then you will see that for instance the calendar will work, when you include the <SITE_CALENDAR> and the EXIF will work when you include these tags:

<EXIF_CAMERA_MODEL><br />
<EXIF_EXPOSURE_TIME> <EXIF_APERTURE> <EXIF_FOCAL_LENGTH> <EXIF_FLASH> <EXIF_ISO>

this template is bad, full of errors, not standard-compliant, defining CSS which is not used or using CSS-elements which have no CSS-definition..

where to start to correct? No chance, start with a standard-template and
test with FireFox

:roll:

oh. OK. seems it's better to delete it. i like how it looks like. and probalby want to have the same. but, there no luck.
in another templates, mane problem for me, that they not supporting bigger image sizes (most of them are 600 pxls.)

will await for a new version of pixelpost 1.4.2 - this design work for me well...

Thank you Connie !
