Phoca Forum

First let me say Phoca Gallery is a splendid piece of work! Thank you for it, Jan.

I am running 1.8.6 beta on a Joomla 1.5.3 install and came across the following:

Minor Bug: noticed this since I first installed PhocaGallery is regardless of what I set max upload size to in Parameters, the upload form says Max Upload 3M. Should it state what is set in Parameters?

Major Problem, possibly not Phoca-related: Upload form does not show in IE6/7, but is fine in all other browsers. I use rhuk-milkyway as my site template.

Request: It'd be great to preserve all Parameter settings when moving from version to version.

FWIW PhocaGallery 1.8.6 on our site generates 92 HTML validation errors and 6 CSS errors. I can post specifics if needed.

??? for me it works

Maybe this should be the question for joomla.org (maybe we get it in 1.6)


FWIW PhocaGallery 1.8.6 on our site generates 92 HTML validation errors and 6 CSS errors. I can post specifics if needed.

e.g:
https://www.phoca.cz/phocagallery/demo/i ... categories

I get:

0 errors, 0 warnings

The validated page has no errors, no warning found by the SGML Parser and HTML Tidy
.

To show your readers that you have taken the care to create an interoperable Web pag
e, you may add this icon on your page:

HTML Validator based on Tidy or HTML Validator based on Tidy

Here is the HTML you could use to add this icon to your Web page:

<a href="http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/">
<img src="http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/serial_32.gif"
alt="Validated by HTML Validator" height="32" width="78"/>
</a>

or

<a href="http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/">
<img src="http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/serial_16.gif"
alt="Validated by HTML Validator" height="16" width="39"/>
</a>

If you like, you can download a copy of this image to keep in your local web direct
ory, and change the HTML fragment above to reference your local image rather than the
one on this server.

Trimming Empty Tag
Cause:

An element is empty or only contains white space (newlines, spaces, or tabs). This i
ssue may be the side effect of a tag being implicitly closed by another.
Example:
Good <p></p>
Good <p> </p>
Good <p>
</p>
Good <p><table>…</p>
Good <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

The second-to-last example is of a paragraph tag being implicitly closed by the appe
arance of another block-level element (in this case, a table) since paragraphs can’
t contain other block-level elements. As a result, the paragraph element is empty and
its intended end tag (after the table) is orphaned, causing an error.

Note also that the HTML 4.01 Specification discourages the use of empty paragraph el
ements.



- not caused by Phoca Gallery

Maybe you get some errors while using Plugin (because of TinyMCE) or because of template or....

The problem with validation is if you want to do a site for people not for machines, you must do some not valide code e.g. for non standard browsers like IE, and , and.......

Here are the CSS errors. I get this with rhuk-milkyway or Javanya or beez:
components/com_phocagallery/assets/phocagallery.css
82 #download-msg Parse Error opacity=80)
83 #download-msg Property opacity doesn't exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in [css3] : 0.8
84 #download-msg Property -moz-opacity doesn't exist : 0.8
91 #download-msg div table Parse Error opacity=100)
92 #download-msg div table Property opacity doesn't exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in [css3] : 0.8
93 #download-msg div table Property -moz-opacity doesn't exist : 0.8
129 #description-msg Parse Error opacity=60)
130 #description-msg Property opacity doesn't exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in [css3] : 0.6
131 #description-msg Property -moz-opacity doesn't exist : 0.6

With Javanya template which tests to 100% valid XHTML, I now get 61 errors, all generated by Phoca. This is not a big deal, because.........

Now the upload form works with Javanya template.

As far as the Parameters, I was talking about the Phoca Gallery Parameters. I upgraded Phoca 3X now and each time I have to revisit my Phoca Parameters. J! Parameters haven't changed.

Not sure what the link is supposed to explain? I understand the J! parameters.

There are no Phoca Parameters... These are Joomla! framework's parameters, these parameters are saved in Joomla! tables (as global configuration for component or as paramters component for menu links - these are Joomla! framework tables and by every upgrade, global configuration will be changed, maybe the upgrade xml parameter will be changed in Joomla!1.6... there is a discussion about it on joomla.org development)

CSS - I cannot remove the opacity errors... As I said, Phoca Gallery should be displayed for people not for machines and if you want that most people will see it you must do some hacks for different browsers (mostly for non standard browsers like IE or use some non standard params form mozilla)

So, these are no errors, only necessary compromise.

Ok, thanks Jan, I understand your points.

I am still experiencing errors w/ the image upload form, perhaps it's a local cache issue or something.
