Again Thumbnail spacing bug

27 Aug 2008, 04:57

Dear Imagevue-Team,

i was now looking for hours for this phenomenon.

Please go to my beta album: www.majak.de/photo

Then choose "Nordsee" / "Bensersiel 2007". Here is the thumbnail display area correct as configured, with spacing 3.

But when you go to "Venedig 2007" / "Canale grande" for example, i can see only few thumbs on the page with big, big spacing between them. Regardless of the config of the theme (thmbnail spacing), this won't change.

I really have no idea how to fix this and any help would be highly appreciated :?:

Marco

Try "Clear cache" and recreate thumbnails.

This has no effect. Everything like before.

I had the same problem and i don't know if it's a bug or not. You must find the correct combinaison between predefined size of thumbnails ( avoid larger = longer ) and space between thumbnails and it will work correctly.

Regards.

Ahh, this is easy one, take a look:

http://www.majak.de/photo/?a=files&path ... el%202007/
Code
folder title="Bensersiel 2007"  maxThumbWidth="100" maxThumbHeight="100"

and
http://www.majak.de/photo/?a=files&path ... %20Grande/
Code
folder title="Canale Grande" maxThumbWidth="158" maxThumbHeight="118"
Those are urls read by flash to see what pictures to display and what also important maximal size of bot to fit every thumb in this dir.
In Canale Grande you have bigger thumb somewhere it seems, or had and data about that been "baked" into folderdata.xml:

[url]http://www.majak.de/photo/content/Vened ... ta.xml[url]

If you are sure there are no big thumbnails in this dir try Clear Cache in admin, it will delete maxThumbH/W info thus requiring update.

For brave ppl: You can also try with cache disabled in config. This'll cause data to be recalculated on the fly everytime you acess directory and it's resource demanding.

Nick,

thanks for the info. But neither clearing the cache nor disabling it will change anything. Thumbnail box size in config is 100 x 100, and even recreating thumbs will not change this.

How will these info's get to the folderdata.xml? And, with which config setting, the thumbnail data will be updated in these xml files? Or do i have to change it manually in each folder?

OK, found it.

It was due to the copying of the content folders from the V1.x installation. The V1.x makes thumbnail files with ".JPG", the V2 with ".jpg".

V1: tn_IMG4567.JPG
V2: tn_IMG4567.jpg

These files will coexist in peace on the server :wink:

So i had great new thumbnail files, but still the old ones with ".JPG" in the folder ... the recreation does not "see" the old ".JPG", but the display routine seems to do so.

So i deleted *all* thumbnail files, recreated them in V2 ... and now it works!

Thanks for the hint!
