I lreally like the template. There's one bug, though. If the image is taller than the initial screen size, the bottom bar gets positioned over the image.
I put a screen shot of the behavior here: http://www.dakwegmo.com/images/screenshot.jpg

You should release the template name addon separate from the template. It's really useful, and I think people who aren't using this template would like to have access to it.

What browser are you using? and also can you tell me the size of the picture..

good idea

[dakwegmo]

The screenshot is what it looks like in FF2. In IE7, the page doesn't scroll, so that bottom bar is drawn over the image, and the bottom part of the photo is cutoff.

That photo is 800px tall. You can see it here: http://www.invisiblegreen.com/dev/index.php?showimage=214

[fredxeric]

go into design.css files at line 78 change position: absolute; to position: fixed;

[niknkim]

great template.

is it possible to have the copyright notice appear in the same position on the main page too?


thanks

[fredxeric]

great template.

is it possible to have the copyright notice appear in the same position on the main page too?


thanks


Yes, simply add the fallowing:

open file design.css add text-align: center; at line 83

/* .............................. */
/* navigation-footer */
/* .............................. */
#footer {
position:fixed;
bottom : 0;
width:100%;
height:20px; /* Height of the footer */
z-index:1000;
text-align: center;
}


also add this code in the same file just under the #footer around line 113


.copyright {
position: fixed;
}


then go into image_template.html and add the fallowing just under the div called footer.


<span class="copyright">&copy; Your name here</span>

[fredxeric]

New version 1.0.2

* New feature:
- Mootools feature in the about page...
- fixed the copyright showing on the images template page
- footer set to position fixed instead of absolute.

If you have any suggestion your the welcome...

[dakwegmo]

go into design.css files at line 78 change position: absolute; to position: fixed;

The footer doesn't scroll over the image now, but it's placed over the photo and cuts off the bottom. See here: http://www.invisiblegreen.com/dev/index.php?showimage=214
Same result using IE7 and FF2 on 1280x1024 display. You probably just need to specify the height of the container for the photo using an inline height style. (And I need to make my portrait oriented images shorter).

[fredxeric]

Yes, simply add the fallowing:

open file design.css add text-align: center; at line 83

/* .............................. */
/* navigation-footer */
/* .............................. */
#footer {
position:fixed;
bottom : 0;
width:100%;
height:20px; /* Height of the footer */
z-index:1000;
text-align: center;
}


also add this code in the same file just under the #footer around line 113


.copyright {
position: fixed;
}


then go into image_template.html and add the fallowing just under the div called footer.


<span class="copyright">&copy; Your name here</span>



This code doesn't work under FF and Safari... I will try something else tomorrow.

I'm using Opera 9.25 and the site name on the top left does not display properly.

Works ok though in Safari and IE7 though.

Also I believe in the bottom right you have the Exif date time I just get N/A (film scan's not from a digital camera), how can I cahnge that to the images 'Post' date?

I will check the error in opera as soon I install opera on my dev pc at home, maybe tonight.

For the N/A message, Use those tags instead (http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/TemplateTags/DateRelatedTags)

thanks for using my template.

[mgd711]

Thanks....

I partially figured out where to look but the link to the list is really helpful.

Only other thing I notice is that the footer bar covers the bottom of the images in the 'Browse' page (none of my images are big enough to see if it does this with the main image).

Really cool template, thanks for sharing.

in the browse page add this code just before the footer

<div id="bottom-spacer">bottom-spacer</div>

[mgd711]

Thanks for the pointer to that, looks way too complex for me :)

Another small issue, I hope I'm not pestering you, in the 'About' page I added some personnal details but the section does not open fully and the lower bar covers the copyright png. I've tried adding extra line breaks to move it down but this dosen't help.

The only thing I changes was to replace your image with my own, except this is 150pixels square instead of 90.

I don't see how this could affect it though as there is nothing there to define the image size.

Another one............ where do I change "Show me more details" in the upper right bar? I want to make it more obvious to my viewers with "Comment on this image".

again at the end of the template just before the footer place this


<div id="bottom-spacer">bottom-spacer</div>



for the show me more details, it's in the addon lafaille you will found a language folder en.php and fr.php you open en.php and change the appropriate field.

for the rest I will investigate today and give you a feed bak soon.

Is there another step I need to take to install the mootools part of the template? For some reason the mouseover shown in the demo doesn't seem to be working correctly on my photoblog. You can see the problem I'm having at http://www.zeitgeisting.com.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for my ignorance -- I've never used mootools before.

why could I not comment this picture? where is the mistake?

Perhaps someone can help me.

[fredxeric]

are you using other language that french or english? if it's the case you will have to create a file in the language pack of the addon...

check in the addon there is a folder call language, just create on with your language in it.

[mgd711]

Fred,

Installed and working fine, except for the site title as before.....

http://www.mgdphotography.com/deleteme/Untitled-1.jpg


Not a big issue as I'll be moving to a Mac soon....... lol!



Mike

[fredxeric]

I know that there is a problem with opera browser, I have to find the problem.

If your going to write a new language pack please send me the file....

[mgd711]

Fred,

Did you get your template to validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional?

I have a bunch of errors e.g.

Line 18, Column 11: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified .
<meta name=robots content="index, follow" />




Mike

[fella]

Great! It works!

One question: How can I set the style "Light" as the standard style?

you open each template files and switch the CSS style link from rel="stylesheet" to rel="alternate stylesheet"
I should work

[fredxeric]

I will release a new version of this template soon, also I will change the name of the actual template with 'focuslafaille'.

I need input from you, I want to know what is look like uder Opera browser.




If you have any suggestions please say it....

[Tlove]

Are image attachments not allowed? Anyway, will post screenshot of Opera in a few minutes.

For the issue with Opera on the title display, if you remove the "letter-spacing" from the stylesheet, the title shows up fine. Except you do lose that space between the letters. I haven't messed with it to try to fix it but hopefully that gives somebody an idea on how to deal with it.

[Tlove]

Here is what the demo you posted above looks in Opera, sorry for the low quality.

about this error, just click the black or white link to refresh the template, or refresh your browser, remove all temp files and cookie will solve this issue

[Tlove]

refresh yer browsers. I just overwrote the previous image with the new one to save my bandwidth, plus i'm too lazy to attach another image.

That looks a whole lot better. Why does it not load correctly the first time you pull up the page?

I have no idea, I have install Opera on my other computer and at first load the display was ok... so i DONT HAVE ANY ANSWER TO THIS

Initially the page did not load well....

but when I selected the 'Black' style it reloaded like this

[Tlove]

And what Tlove was saying about the name displaying correctly if you remove the spaces, this did not work for me.






Mike

Mike,

Did you remove the spaces in the name or did you remove the stylesheet entry for "letter-spacing: 2px;" in the design.css stylesheet. The "letter-spacing" is what i was referring to. It corrected mine but, as expected, the spacing between the letters shrinks. Unless we are talking about different errors.

[mgd711]

Tlove,

I read you wrong, I did as you sugested and it also fixed the problem.

http://mgdphotography.com/deleteme/pp4.jpg



Mike

[Tlove]

Glad it worked for you, Mike. Hopefully somebody will have some insight as to why there is a problem with letter-spacing in opera and how to fix it.

[fredxeric]

Both try to remove the line saying letter-spacing: xxpx; in the design.css around line 49

[fredxeric]

for the page that load with no style the first time and you have to click on the black or white style button. I think it is the styleswitcher.js script that give this error.

I will on this tomorrow....

Now it is time to go bed, that was my last post today. :D

[mgd711]

Both try to remove the line saying letter-spacing: xxpx; in the design.css around line 49

I removed the line and the title is displaying fine, though it was the same with 0px or 1px for letter spacing.

If you want to have letter spacing, go into the admin panel and under options go to title and make 1 space there between each letters.

[NatashaZA]

Hi there

I've just tried to install your template, but it's so not working for me. please can you assist?
FYI - I am totally new to PP so help for dummies would be appreciated :)

[fredxeric]

Sure what's the your problem exactly?

[fredxeric]

I think I know the problem in your pixelpost admin the language is set to what the only supported language for now is english and French.

[NatashaZA]

I'm sorry, I don't understand.
the language in my admin is set to english [base language settings]
do I need to change that to something else?

[Tlove]

is the Addon enabled? I disabled the addon on mine and it looked just like what your site looks like right now.

In the admin
Click on Addons
Click on the word "OFF" in front of "203_lafaille (_203_lafaille/lafaille-template - version 2.0.3) - status"

T.

[fredxeric]

Yes of course the addon must be turned on...

[NatashaZA]

AWESOME!
thanks so much

[NatashaZA]

Hi, me again.

2 things

is it possible to center the image vertically (top to bottom) in the page?
and I also cannot get my exif data to display?

http://www.natashawhiteley.co.za/embrace/

thanks!

[Tlove]

Toss these in wherever you want them,

<IMAGE_THUMBNAIL>
<IMAGE_NOTES_CLEAN><br />
<EXIF_CAMERA_MODEL><br />
<EXIF_EXPOSURE_TIME><br />
<EXIF_APERTURE><br />
<EXIF_FLASH><br />

There may be a better way to do it but that worked for my purposes

Tlove

[fredxeric]

is it possible to center the image vertically (top to bottom) in the page?


Yes it is possible but not with this version of template, I am in progress on working on an other version of this template, but the problem is if you have an image bigger than the display screen the top of the picture will be lost. I didn't find the way to fix that at this time.


and I also cannot get my exif data to display?


LIke Tlove as say it should work...

[NatashaZA]

thanks.

[theMezz]

Is the newest release 203_lafaille or lafaille
Also does it display exif info?

Thanks

[fredxeric]

the actual release is 203_lafaille and no for the exif info I does't show the exifs. But it is very easy to add exifs diplayed if you want.

[theMezz]

Thank you. Great template and I appreciate all your work.

One more Q

In which file do I edit the

"Show me more details | Home | Browse | About | Style: Dark / Light | RSS 2.0 "

line?

Thanks !!

[fredxeric]

addons\_203_lafaille\language\en.php or fr.php depending of your language settings...

[theMezz]

thank you
that made me realize that I had the en.php in the wrong place
all fixed
works great

The darker one works fine but the light one isn't showing. By the way, all the coding looks very neat, something I need to work on in my templates.

Fred Eric, thanks for this nice template (3.0). I'm currently using it on my site with a few additions/modifications/translations. It runs flawless so far. Again, thank for the nice work!

Uwe

Edit: one thing that I couldn't fix is the load fail of the stylesheet while visiting the site for the first time. I tried it with Safari, Firefox and Opera (on my Mac) an with IE on Windows. The css does not load automatically. As soon as you switch the style once and the cookie is set, everything is ok. Is there a way to get the stylesheet loading at the first visit? Would be great.

I have just pass by your website and it look very nice with your pictures.... just keep in mind that it is a BETA release and yes there is some modification and tweak that needs to be done. before releasing the final version.

about the stylessheet loading problem I will check that during the next few days I will fix that issue for sure. and thanks to letting me know this error.

maybe this could help in this case... I think this is the problem refer to this tread
http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?p=56358#post56358

[Crossie]

ah ok, this would explain it. Thanks.

Uwe

addition: I have just discovered that it's all about the value of the "style" cookie which is set by the styleswitcher.js script. You refer nicely with a tag <DARK_CSS_TITLE> and <LIGHT_CSS_TITLE> to the language file (in chapter header tags) in the addons directory. There, the first letter of the style titel is uppercase (Dark, Light). The moste templates are using the same titles but lowercase (dark, light). Maybe it's an idea to lowercase the style-titles in your language templates by default, so no user has to hassle with wrong cookies. For me it worked fine and the cookie which was set by my old template is still valid with focus 3.0.

Salut neoloop, je suis passé par ton site et j'y ai remarqué beaucoup d'erreurs dans le template francais. Je te suggère t'attendre la version 3.0.1 qui fixeras beaucoup d'erreurs surtout au niveau de la langue francaise. le style switcher n'est pas up to date dans cette version.

Et aussi changer dans ta page a propos que le template n'est pas black jack mais bien focus 3.0.0 beta.

Merci

[fredxeric]

Version 3.0.1 ß is now ready, have a look

<a href="http://example.com/"title="Google">Google</a>, does not work.

Previously with all my other Pixelpost instal's from 1.4 and various templates this has worked, so what am I doing wrong now?




Mike
you should enable markdown from the option menu

[mgd711]

you should enable markdown from the option menu

That has always been enabled and is enabled currently.

I've recently moved my site of off a Yahoo server to a HostGator server, on either server it was the same. However I'm checking just now to see what Perl modules are installed.

send me the link and I think I know the problem, I just want to see you site and I will be able to provide you info about this issue

[fredxeric]

open css.php in the config folder of the addon and remove the code at line 209


p {
font: 12px/14px Tahoma, arial;
}

Well that would explain why I can't find it. I'm still using 2.0.3.

I've installed your latest Beta and the Markdown works fine with out any modification of css.php, however I much prefer the layout and feel of version 2.0.3 so I'm switching back to that.

[citron]

Salut Fred,
La première faute est sur la page d'accueil :
- Le A de A propos ne prend pas d'accent : c'est une majuscule

Sinon, c'est dans "Archives" ( que je nommerais plutôt "Portfolio"):
- Au lieu de"Nombre de photos totals sur le site", écrire : "Nombre total de photos sur le site"
- Remplacer "Sélectionnez un categorie" par "Sélectionnez une catégorie".

Sinon, j'ai 3 questions :
- comment changer "A propos", je ne vois rien dans l'interface d'admin à ce propos

- y a t-il un lien javascript vers ton site? J'utilise Noscript et c'est ce qu'il me dit. Si c'est le cas, je voudrais absolument enlever ce lien. Je préfèrerais un lien classique vers ton site.

- comment changer enlever <CONTACT_FORM etc...> dans le formulaire de contact?

En tout cas, merci pour ce beau template. Il faut que je l'utilise un peu plus pour voir s'il y a d'autres bugs.
Bien à toi,

[fredxeric]

Salut citron, je vais en effet faire les modifications que tu mentionnes, je crois que ce sera mieux. En attendant que je fasse les modifications tel que tu mentionnes, tu peux changer les texts à ta guise en modifiant le fichier fr.php dans le addon sous lang.

J'èspère que tu trouveras.

Pour ce qui est du contact form enleve le fichier contact_from_template.html et le tout sera presque reglé, ensuite edit chacun des fichiers image, browse, et about et enleve le liens contact dans chacune des feuilles.

Guys, this is the English part of the forum. If you insist in speaking French we have a subforum for that. Please refrain from speaking French. Thanks.

I seen to have got round my problem by replacing

<div id="comment-transition" style="min-height: 110px;">
<IMAGE_THUMBNAIL>

<IMAGE_NOTES>
</div>




with this



<div id="image_notes_clean" style="min-height: <THUMBNAIL_HEIGHT>px;">
<IMAGE_THUMBNAIL><IMAGE_NOTES_CLEAN>
</div>





Don't know how or why but in the image details field the text can now be formatted with markdown.

[raulm21]

Hi, first, congratulations. Your template is very well designed

I've installed successfully, but when trying to navigate from categories, it doesn't load so good.

You can try it here:

http://www.raulm21.com/pixelpost/index.php?x=browse&pagenum=1

I've compared it to the DEMO browse_template.html and nothing changes

What's wrong?

Thanks.

[fredxeric]

What's wrong?

Thanks.


You have to enable page-by-page archives addon

[raulm21]

Oh, thanks frexderic, I'm a newbie at pixelpost. I came from wordpress (www.raulm21.com/fotolog/).

Great template, thanks again.

[raulm21]

Hi again!

I cleared the <!-- EXIFS and EXIFS--> tags but exif info not showing.

What's wrong now?

Thanks.

[Crossie]

Same as with the custom filelds question. You have to place the exif template tags (which can be found here (http://www.pixelpost.org/docs/TemplateTags/EXIFRelatedTags)) in your template html file at the position where you want them to appear and you have to set "enable exif" to "yes" in the admin interface (options->general tab).

Uwe

Hello Fred,

First, Congratulation for this beautiful theme!

I'd like to know if there a way to "zoom" on a picture to display it on fullscreen with a better size like this website : http://webrevolutionary.com/sharpfolio-demo/

Thanks a lot

Voad

[fredxeric]

The effect you mentionne is call: Lightbox.


Check this website: http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/

[Voad]

Thanks for your answer fredxeric,

I'm trying to activate it, following the readme.txt but it doesn't work nothing happens :(
I found some topics on the forum and it doesn't seems to work.
Could someone help me on how to make lightbox works with the focus theme?

I really like to put lightbox in the gallery because i don't like the fact to click to see one image and then having to click on the back button to return to the gallery.



I also have an other small problem, i m using this theme with french language, and i can't change the "commentaires (0)" in the header! i'd like to change it to : "infos et commentaires (0)" .. could you help me?

I think the BG color should be a dark color insted of white when the picture is loading, the white is very harsh on the dark background...

[fredxeric]

I think the BG color should be a dark color insted of white when the picture is loading, the white is very harsh on the dark background...

Easy to fix, just open the black.css files into template/focus/style/black.css and modified the line 36. instead of :

background: white url(../images/loading.gif) no-repeat center center;

Change it for

background: black url(../images/loading_d_dark.gif) no-repeat center center;



Fredxeric

[fredxeric]

Also if some of you want to hide the vertical scroll bar from IE there is a modification that can be done in the main css files .


1- open the addons\_focus_template_addon\config\css.php
2- change around the line 36 the html tag for html {
overflow: auto;
}

I'd like to express my thanks for the fine template. I've used it to update my two photoblogs:

Just a few tweaks for each.

Thanks again,

The template do not have build in exif function to be showed, you must edit the template to best suit your needs.

[heike]

Hallo and thanks a lot for the great template. I installed pixelpost and your template yesterday.

My question:
I have had a lot of this error in the serverlog



[Wed Jun 04 14:51:41 2008] [error] [client 89.14.120.211] File does not
exist: /var/www/virtual/linsenspiel.de/htdocs/images/blank.gif, referer:
http://linsenspiel.de/

I could only find a blank.gif in your template, under focus/images/

Now, what is happening, is it the template searching for the file, or is it pixelpost self ?

with greetings,
heike

[heike]

Hello :)

my last posting here (http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showpost.php?p=58709&postcount=140)

think I found it. Is it the blank.gif for the special trick with the IE and the navigation ?
im a beginner, but I was searching and reading to understand what happend. It is not a big thing, but I put the blank.gif now in the /htdocs/images/, and it works fine now.
think so, my provider didn't talk about error-messages anymore.

sorry for my english, I will do my best to write proper.

with greetings

I also posted this in the support thread here:
http://www.pixelpost.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8542

Hello. I am brand new to PixelPost so please bear with me, especially if posted in wrong forum.

I just installed the latest versions of both PixelPost and Focus template. Everything is working fine, except for the contact form from the main menu. When I click on "Contact" in the main menu, a new window with the contact form appears. It contains the following 3 areas with text in those windows:

Name:
<CONTACT_FORM NAME>

Email (hidden):
<CONTACT_FORM_EMAIL>

Message:
<CONTACT_FORM_MESSAGE>

I have highlighted the content of those windows, filled in the info, and pressed the submit button. Still after 2 different tries in both Safari and FireFox, no mail has yet to arrive. In the admin control panel I DO have my admin email address filled in prior to these attempts.

Am I missing something here?

My forum is: www.newvox.org

Thank You for any assistance

You will need this addon: http://www.pixelpost.org/extend/addons/contact-form/

I just love your Focus template BTW.

[ZenemiG]

First of all, sweet sweet template. Loved the simplicity and minimalism on it. that said, Im having trouble with a few things and Id love it if you could help me out.

Id like to be able to make this (http://www.imagehustler.com/0408/1213299587.png) look like this (http://www.imagehustler.com/0408/1213299839.png). Thumbnail at one side and text on the other side.

Thanx in advance and once again, great template.

[fredxeric]

This is a custom modification by the end user who use my template. You just need to modified the appropriate files to reflect your needs.

[ZenemiG]

Was afraid so. In such case, is there a way to eliminate the thumbnail image from the Info and comments section?

[muscalu]

I love your template but it's just not working on my website.... I use 950px images, this could be the problem ?

Here is the FAQ for the focus template...


http://focus.pixelxdesign.com/faq.php

[(at)photography]

Thank you so much for the beautiful template. I will be using it to show images from a wedding that I recently shot for some friends.

I'm having two problems though. The first being the contact page. I turned the addon on and every time I try to send a test email to myself it shows me this error message.

- Too much time has elapsed, you should submit this form within 10 minutes to keep spambots away!
- You have been registered as a spambot. E-mail was not sent!

The second problem I am having is with the archive page. It's not displaying any thumbnails, just the names of the images.

I'm not sure if these are rookie mistakes on my part, I am new to pixelpost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You will have to use version 1.0 of the contact form addon

I am currently working on the template to have ot work with version 2.0 of contact form

Thanks so much for that link. It fixed the contact form.

Any ideas on the archive page?

Fred-Eric,

Thanks so much for that link. It fixed the contact form.

Oups I didn't read the entire post you have post!

For the archive page You have to enable this addon:

What addons needs to be enable to have your template worked fine?

focus template addon (_focus_template_addon/focus_template_addon - version 3.0.1 ß) - status: ON
Advanced stats (advanced_stat - version 1.0) - status: ON
Page-By-Page-Archive for category and month (paged_archive - version 1.7) - status: ON
Contact form (contact_form - version 1.0) - status: ON
THE ACTUAL VERSION OF THIS TEMPLATE IS USING VERSION 1.0 OF THE CONTACT FORM.
SO IF YOU PLAN TO USE CONTACT FORM MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD VERSION 1.0

[softball29]

Hi,

I have installed this template and it is working. I just had a couple of questions as I am new to 1.7 and haven't actually worked on tweaking in a while.

In the section where there's a description, is there a way to make it so there are breaks in the paragraphs? Now it is just showing all one paragraph.

Also, how do I get it to show the EXIF data of the image? I also wanted to have an image views on there (I had it on my last version and the addon is on my server etc.)

Thanks for any help!

[softball29]

Also, because I don't want to use it, was wondering if there was a way to get rid of the "contact" link on the front page and if there's a way to add another link and create a "links" page?

Thanks. The template is really nice.

Love the template but noticed one minor issue since installing that when i go into addons portion of my admin panel, the only addon showing is the focus template addon and the rest of the page takes forever to finish loading. The other templates i've used have not caused any problems. Thanks

When I access the addons page for my Pixelpost installation, it tries to load this URL: http://www.localhost.com/lien_dynamique.php?x=focus_addon

It completely slows down the loading of the addons page. I've checked the focus_template_addon.php page and know where the coding is. If I remove it, will it affect the usage of the addon?

[ohzaru]

hi! I have a problem that I imagine will happen to us all equally.

With the new focus on IE8 template does not work well when the effects are the commentary.

happens to someone else?
any solution?
I tested the lastest version prototype and scriptaculous but still the same :(

Thanks!
