jon madison: Kubrick for gallery update

  • Gour · 4 years ago
    for gallery 1.5 and above (may work for 1.4 but i don’t think so)


    Thank you for the update. I posted my feedback on gallery's forum. I just forgot to mention that it does not work with 1.4 :-(

    Sincerely,
    Gour

    I'm running RH9. I've upgraded to Gallery 1.5RC1. My Gallery install shows no issues. Using the 1.5RC1 skins everything looks fine.

    I've downloaded the latest kubrick-for-gallery.zip. I unzip it under \skins and it creates a \kubrick directory. I've had to then go in & manually change ownership & permissions (dirs 755, files 644) to get it to load.

    In Gallery Kubrick does not appear in my list of skins. If I edit config.php to replace another skin's name with "kubrick" it then loads, sorta.

    The graphics are scrambled. The top one is blocks of puple, blue, & orange. To the lower right is a block of black & white static. The top block (My Gallery) is left aligned, the body is right-aligned.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    hmm i must have zipped up my copy (i.e. the copy i use for *my* gallery)?

    eck. not good. wish i would have gotten this message earlie this morning or later tonight.

    i need to pull the zip, and make it available again tonight. when i do, i also fixed the alignment problem, so that will go away as well. i'm very sorry not being able to download a gallery and try the permission thing--but it sounds like you at least have it showing up now...

    Getting better! :)

    The graphics now load fine.

    The header "My Gallery" block is flush with the left, as is it's text.

    The body is now right-indented 1/2 the width it should be, then runs all of the way to the right side of the screen.

    The footer is back flush with the left.

    My guesstimate is the header & footer aren't being set center. The body width isn't being proprly restrained & set center either. Or I'm completely off.

    It's an impressive port to Gallery, and I thank you for your efforts.

    i see what's going on--and i'll address it when i get home tonight! in the meantime, try slipping the following into your kubrick/tpl/header.tpl file (each of them on line line:)


    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $gallery->app->photoAlbumURL?>/skins/kubrick/css/embedded_style.css"><?php echo $gallery-?>app->photoAlbumURL?>/skins/kubrick/css/embedded_style.css">
    </link>


    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $gallery->app->photoAlbumURL?>/skins/kubrick/css/standalone_style.css"><?php echo $gallery-?>app->photoAlbumURL?>/skins/kubrick/css/standalone_style.css">
    </link>

    Looks great.
    The zip file's gone AWOL though - have you taken it offline for some reason?

    :-(
  • jon · 4 years ago
    hey there--it's been a nutty week for me at work--i may have removed the zip file last week, and haven't gotten to touch this since...saturday morning (US) i'll be able to place a version up...and this is my note to myself ;)

    Hey -

    It's been awhile, wondering if you're still interested in getting Kubrick to generically work on Gallery?

    I know I still have the alignment issue, from the Galley forums it appears others do too, as well as the not-appearing-as-a-choice bug. I don't mean to push, but I think it would be great if Kubrick were able to be included in the 1.5 release.
  • jon · 4 years ago
    you know what; i had personally quit trying to get this working properly for gallery, since becoming increasingly interested in flickr as my personal site gallery. perhaps i could ask on the gallery forums if there would be someone willing to take this up, and i'll just email them the last that i had of it.

    the toughest part of this, if i recall correctly was figuring out how to do any skinning of gallery involving writing anything in the <head> section, without affecting the internals of gallery.

    I'm sorry to hear you've tossed in the towel on this, though if you've moved on to another photo service then it makes sense. However it does appear you've got Kubrick 99% working and it would be sad to see that go to waste.

    I think it would be great if you were to post this as a new thread to the Gallery forums, note that it is mostly-finished. Hopefully that would attract the attention of someone else knowledgable and they might get it that final 1% to completion.

    WordPress & Gallery are a good match, it would be really nice if they could be skinned similarly.

    is kubrick-for-gallery.zip offline. It looks good and i would love to test it with my wedding site ? Can you get it back online :) ... i would like to tap into it and eventually finish it.
  • jon · 4 years ago
    i did not realize it was offline--very sorry about that! definitely feel free to finish it up...i won't be able to make it online until i get back home (tonight) so it'll be here tomorrow. i'll email myself to remind me!

    For those using Gallery - v.1.5 is now out, and 2 has reached 2nd beta.

    I just retried Kubrick on my spiffy new 1.5 - still the same not-showing-up-as-a-choice, and when I manually edit config.php to add kubrick I end up with an off-center & too-wide layout. :(
