Archiving & Thumbnails issues

[joey dee]

Hello...

I am having an issues on my Pixel Post when I click on the archive menu... It brings me to the Archive page now I want to limit the number of thumbnails per row and number of thumbnails in the archive let's say 50 max.

So I go into the admin and in template i set it to 5 thumbnails per row, however this only sets it for the front page not the archive... can somone give me hand please.

www.pumatalk.com/photoblog thats' my foto blog... It's just that I want to organise my archives a little better.

I found a mod "Paged_Achive" http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=4279&highlight=archive

Limited archivs : http://forum.pixelpost.org/showthread.php?t=4195&highlight=archive

All the best,
JoeY Dee

Hi!

1) the number of thumbnails which you can define in the options area, defines the number of thumbnails in image_template.html, inside the tag
<IMAGE_THUMBNAIL_ROW>

2) the thumbnails in an archivepage are not defined by any tag or option, they are defined by the width of the div in which they sit

so for example in the simple-templates, the thumbnails <THUMBNAILS> sit in the div "page" and that div is defined with a width of 65%

which means that depending on the screen resolution the amount of thumbnails will differ

if you want to define a fixed number of thumbnails in a row, calculate the width of these + padding + margins and define the div in which they sit accordingly

to define howmany thumbs you want to see in a site : that you can define with the addon "Archive page"

it depends on your CSS definitions etc.

Hello Connie :)

Uhmm.. so let's say I am not that literate in php programming or what not is there a mod that I can just insert a number and it will equal to the rows of thumbnails in the achive aliong with a maximum numbers of thumbnails per page and it would create other pages and so forth?

Because i'm not to sure how to set up what you suggested.

Let me know please I would appreciate it !!! :)

btw: Deutschland won yesterday!!!!!!!! :) But the score should of been atleast 3 - 0... Ballack didn't play that well!!! :( but Neuville's goal in the 92nd minute was unreal :)

Joey, nobody spoke of PHP programming, I told you to understand / use the options of Pixelpost which you find in the admin section ;=)

plus some tips for CSS.. that has nothing to do with PHP programming ;=)

I think you are as illiterate in this as I am in football (which I feel is just a pain... I am living in Hamburg.... )
