Thumbnail Columns

Post by milestonedata »

I'm using Phoca Gallery with Slideshow version 1.8.8. Inside a category, all my thumnails are appearing
vertically. I would like to show the thumbnails in columns of 4. I've gone through all the settings but nothing seems to be working. Here's the page:

Any ideas on which setting will allow this?

Thanks
Mike

Hi,

in the menu-items you have the component parameters. There you can set the 'Phoca Gallery Width' in pixels. This is the width of the box where the thumbs are displayed in. You have to calculate the width for 4 rows.

See: https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... -menu-item

Good luck!

Caroline,

I've tried changing this setting. When the page first loads, it appears to work. It flashes in muliple galleries.
then, in a second, it goes back to being one verticle column.

I've tried setting it to 400, then 1600.

It's almost like something's overwritting the setting.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

did you change it in your menu link? (menu >> your menu >> phoca gallery link >> component parameters)?

Otherwise you should check out your template css and find out what the width of the 'box' is, where the component is placed. 'cause if that's smaller, it takes that width.

(Css-checking is really easy with Firebug - a FireFox addon)

Good luck!

I've looked and I can't find a class called 'box'. I've tried to see the problem with Firebug, can't
find anything. I have no clue at this point.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

hi Mike,

The class isn't called box - I call it a box, but I mean the area in where the components are displayed.

I don't know what it's called in your template... in mine it is body5.

With Firebug you can inspect the CSS. If you mouseover the area in the frontpage you can see which CSS classes are applied.

I hope you understand it,
