New Template: Switchy

[SnowScan]

Hi Kevin,

I love your template. Very clean.
Anyhow... the image_template.html doen't work when you have javascript disabled.
Do you have any idea on how to change the code so it will work?

If I can get this to work I will go for this template for my site.

Well, being that the layout of the page is based on a javascript function, the other way to do it would be with an addon that does everything on the backend. Or the "switchyness" is disabled and the function never runs and only shows one layout.

or this way: the "switchyness" should be displayed if the user has javascript enabled.
Otherwise the image should be displayed like default normal...

This way we can make sure that search engines will be able to read the page (they wont care which way the picture is displayed anyway)

Kevin,
I love Switchy! it's the perfect format for my photography website. (I've modified a bit to be less of a photoblog and more of a portfolio site)
I have one slight problem though, with the browse template and the way it arranges the thumbnails. And perhaps this is a problem with PixelPost in general.
I have to show my thumbnails uncropped and this causes my browse page to "orphan" thumbs, one to a line, on a random basis, based on the dimension an orientation of certain photos.

If you go to my site, you'll see the problem:

Is there any way to make the browse page display thumbnails, horizontally centered and in a way that doesn't make one image take up a whole line?

I'm really liking this layout, but I've got two problems. for me the browse template is not showing my thumbnails evenly. When you click browse it shows 4 thumbnails across the page, then in the next row one off to the right, then 3 thumbnails... it's not a nice even layout. Any ideas what I need to change to fix this?

Also, when viewing the rss feed in thunderbird it's not loading the images. The image shows up as an attachment, but it's not displayed in the message. When I switch my template back to simple the images in RSS load just fine. Any pointers on where and what to change to make this work?

thanks!

ok, I figured out the issue with my thumbnails. I wasn't cropping the images, so it couldn't lay them out evenly. Now using 12image crop and square images which looks better than before anyways.

Still looking for help with the RSS stuff though. thanks!

I love this one, I was thinking on cahngin my site and now I think that this will be my new template, thanks Kevin

That RSS issue is pretty weird - I don't know why the template would make any difference since it is the same link.

[bartheek]

has any of you got problem with this template not showing categories in browse subpage? anybody knows why it may not work?

Well, I really want to use this template. I run PixelPost v1.7 and I "installed" the template, the only way I know how. This is what happens: http://alphoto.net/ How do I fix it, or what did I do wrong?

Thanks!
