Member Galleries (3.1.1)

[tpgettys]

I use FF exclusively.

There is an example of the behavior I am asking about on this forum: paperandlight.proboards.com/

Go to User Galleries, then hmca's Gallery, then click on the second image (fireworks).  For me it displays too large to fit, so scroll bars are present.

If you click the Full Size button it is downsized to fit.

Ahh.. I assumed you meant when it opened in a new window.

You can specify a maximum width of the image in the pop-up in the plugin settings. In the third option down, 'The images will be displayed full size inside the pop-up......', you can add a number which is the maximum width in pixels that any image in the pop-up will be displayed.

Thanks Todge! It seems like there is a more-or-less standard number that should be used. Can you recommend a good starting value for that?

Hm, also, the Add 'Full Size' button option says it will display the image full-size, but with this over-size image it is display at a size that just fits the screen, NOT full-size. Is that its intended behavior?

800 seems like a good starting point. That should be smaller than the majority of screens today.

That is a function of the browser, and can not be controlled by the plugin, sorry.. But, after opening the image in a new window you can click on it to display it full size.

No problem at all, I just wanted to align what I see with what is intended.

Thanks for all you do!

No worries..

Hi Todge ,

I went here: Member Gallery page, and here: Plugin Library page

Looking to find a complete statement of what features your plugin provides, but did not find one. (for example, the Gallery item created in the main menu that provides notifications when a comment is made to a gallery image).

If such a statement exist, please point me to it.  It would be great to add it to at least one of the referenced pages above.

[tpgettys]

Hm... just to be clear, the reason for my request for a feature list is that I want to make a FAQ about the member gallery, but have forgotten much of what I knew when we first installed it. For instance, on one forum there is a button on the main menu that is labelled "Latest Gallery Posts", which is an alias for a regular search. Where did that come from? I have no memory, but I am pretty sure it didn't get there by installing the Gallery plugin, as I have a test forum with your plugin, but there is no such button on the main menu.

You are actually talking about 3 different plugins, the main plugin..

Member Gallery V 3.1.2

Which creates the gallery. It essentially reformats the thread into a gallery, and allows you to add extra inputs for information at the time of posting.

The comments plugin..

Member gallery Comments V 3.0.0

Which adds the ability members to comment on each others' gallery images.

And the notification plugin..

Member Gallery Comments Notifications V 3.0.0

Which adds the 'Gallery' notification into the main title bar.

Beyond that, I don't know what to tell you.. I remember writing another gallery addon to do with the mini-profiles, but I no longer have a copy of that.

If there's anything specific you'd like me to explain, then please do ask, but with regards to the galleries features, that's pretty much it.

Thank you Todge

That actually helps quite a bit, as I had forgotten that there are 3 plugins that fully implement our member galleries!

[tpgettys]

BTW, the version numbers that appear for both Member Gallery Comments Key and Member Gallery Comments Notifications is 0.0.3, not 3.0.0

The Member Gallery Comments Notification plugin displays a "quick tip" when the mouse cursor is hovered over the Gallery button it adds to the main menu. I am wondering if it would be easy for me to add "quick tips" to the other buttons on the main menu?

Have you tried the Forum Tooltips plugin?

No.  It seemed like it might be doable within the existing framework, so thought I would ask Todge first.
