Gallery pics

I have added a small gallery of pictures down the side of my forum as a portal, the problem I am having is I wont to show 1 pic across and 4 down. The problem is I can't get the width of the background correct, it is still the width of two pics. This makes the main page very cluttered.

Hope you can help

It may be better explained if you go have a look.

P.S. this site rocks   (sry for the groveling)


Also is there any way to get a small picture on the left of the banner/logo
admin (no pm's please)

The width probably comes from the order and filter bits and bobs.

You will I think need to edit the cms_myportalname.tpl file.

I assume you have made a copy of the gallery portal for the sidebar gallery?
londonfire

Oh you make it sound so easy  

I've found the cms for the gallery so am looking at that  

I've learn't my lesson and have copied the code into a word doc so i've got a copy to back it up when I make a mess of it.

Done

Thanks mate, got rid of the gallery filter, it was that that was making the thing bigger length ways. Not sure if it was the correct way but it worked  
londonfire

OK

next question, I can only get 11 thumnails of recent pictures up, I can't find anywhere in any of the gallery 'cms' to change this.

Any ideas?
admin (no pm's please)

What are the portal settings. the number shown should be rowsxcolumns.
londonfire

still more probs, the recent gallery doesn't update its self and is only showing pics that were new when I changed the galley cms, any ideas?
londonfire

I am trying to copy and post the complete gallerylatest but when I preview here it cuts most of it out so I can't show you all.  
admin (no pm's please)

use [code] [/code] tags around the code you post.
londonfire

Code:


<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
<!--BEGIN switch_gallerylatest_title -->
<tr>
<th colspan="3" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">{GALLERYLATEST_TITLE}</th>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
<!--END switch_galleylatest_title -->
<!-- BEGIN gallerylatest_row -->
<tr>
<!-- BEGIN gallerylatest_column -->
<td class="row1" align="center" valign="center"><span class="topictitle"><a href="{gallerylatest_row.gallerylatest_column.THUMBNAIL_URL}" ></a></span></td>

<!-- END gallerylatest_column -->
</tr>
<!-- END gallerylatest_row -->
</table>




Ha ha done

Sorry to interrupt, hope you don't mind, I just felt like making this:



You don't have to use it, I just put it there as I felt like making it  

Ok, carry on...
admin (no pm's please)

I'd change width="100%" to width="160" and see what happens, a screenshot would be helpful or a link where we can see the effect.

Hi mate,

Thanks for taking the time to help   the problem is on the main page [web]http://www.londonfire.myfreeforum.org [/web] its the latest pics that don't seam to renew themselves

The only pics that are shown are of another poster (not me) I just use the IMG and copy the Photobucket link into it and it show on the forum post but not on the latest pics bit on the main page

Also when I click on the gallery I only get the pictures that have been uploaded from this poster, am I missing something and not uploading pictures properly  

What does this mean

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier 'R' in /home/httpd/vhosts/slarti.myfreeforum.org/httpdocs/freeforums/includes/functions_profile.php on
line 413

Its at the top of the gallery page

I am really sorry to have been a pain for this, its simple if you use the IMG link then the picture doesn't show in the gallery, if you use the 'attach' link and upload it through myff then it does. Thanks to Symon Field for his forum guide

I think you have a custom profile field with an invalid names. The name should be simple uppercase letters and numbers only.

Only pictures uploaded with "Attach file" when posting go into the gallery.
Nick(NR)

I've done this without problem: http://portalogy.myfastforum.org/index.php

First thing you click portal settings, it's the last option under the styles block, now on this page you should see all the settings find NAME, it will be the first text area where you can edit, add 1 to the end of the name without any spaces so you get GALLERYLATEST1 and now click create new portal.

Now go to the template edits and select the template your editing and find cms_gallerylatest1.tpl in the drop down list for the portals and delete the text inside it and then copy and paste the below, followed by submit.

Code:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
<!--BEGIN switch_gallerylatest1_title -->     
   <tr>
        <th  colspan="3" class="thTop" nowrap="nowrap">{GALLERYLATEST1_TITLE}</th>
     </tr>
     </tr>
     </table>
     <table width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline" align="center">
<!--END switch_galleylatest1_title -->          
  <!-- BEGIN gallerylatest1_row -->
  <tr>
   <!-- BEGIN gallerylatest1_column -->
   <td class="row1" align="center" valign="center"><span class="topictitle"><a href="{gallerylatest1_row.gallerylatest1_column.THUMBNAIL_URL}" ><img border="0" {GALLERYLATEST1_SIZE} src="{gallerylatest1_row.gallerylatest1_column.THUMBNAIL_IMG}"></a></span></td>
 
   <!-- END gallerylatest1_column -->
    </tr>
  <!-- END gallerylatest1_row -->
</table>


Now to make the portal appear where you want you'll need to add in {MYFF.GALLERYLATEST1}, don't forget to go back to portal settings for gallerylatest1 and change the columns from 3 to 1.

only images uploaded via the attach file link are uploaded to the system other images linked from various other sites wont be listed in the gallery as they haven't been uploaded via your forum onto the system.
