Firstly, you need Etogal whichever of the other snippets you use.

If you're trying to duplicate the look of the individual galleries at Efikim infrared gallery (for example) you want EtoGalGallery.

Hope that helps!

Thanks mike that helps a lot, I'll try EtoGal Gallery later on today

One problem i noticed with the etogal snippet
(not sure where to post this)
The Layout of the upload image boxes in etoGal go across the page in IE and Opera (10 columns, 1 row), whereas in Firefox it fits into the page properly (3 columns 4 rows), as my explanation doesn't sound overly coherent (even to me), i took Screen Shots


I took some screen shots

Cheers

here is OK, but preferably in a separate thread, starting with '[problem]' if you find another ... it makes tracking easier!

oops, forgot that one ... its an IE bug that doesn't show up in all templates, and doesn't with the Mollio template I used on my testing site.

If its causing you problems, replace the line (its round about line 420)

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) $returnstring.="<input name=\"file$i\" type=\"file\">";

with

for($i=0;$i<10;$i++) {
	   $returnstring.="<input name=\"file$i\" type=\"file\">";
	   if ($i%2) $returnstring.="<br  />";
   }

though using Firefox is generally a preferable fix :betterwink:

This will be fixed in the final release ... thanks for the reminder!


edit - forgot I'm a mod here and can split or join threads as I please! Now split off into its own thread ...

Thanks for the fix, I also use fireFox, but the majority of the sites probable users are (dell buying) IE people whose computer knowledge is limited and well I will need to cater for the lowest common denominator unfortunately

I first found the problem when I showed a friend how to add photos on the Lower Moss Wood Site, on my PC. She went home, and phoned me up to say it was all broken. I hate debugging computers over the phone with a non-technical user. Not a good start ... once that was fixed she uploaded a file from her digital camera ... and phoned me up to say it was taking a long time and was anything wrong ...

I'd gone through all the site while developing it to make sure that it was acceptable in both IE and FireFox (and did occasional checks with Opera), but forgot about the admin side.

The Mollio templates on the test site have a load of IE compatiblity conditional CSS in them, so presumably one of those fixes the problem. Its easier just to mkae it two columns only!
