And added to the plugins page. (Do let me know if any details need correcting, jackie.) Thanks for the plugin -- looks great!

Great stuff jackie. Complements to you and the missus. (misses? whatever..) Its site looks nice and simple too. Looking forward to more

Hi guys,
if you need French language:

Absolutely loving the gallery.  I started looking for something like this a while ago but everything I fould was not quite right.

This plugin is absolutely perfect.

I may have found a little bug though :-(

I uploaded a bunch of pictures, did the create thumbnails and all was perfect.  Displayed the gallery on the front page - sorted.  However, when I clicked on a picture it just froze.  It looks like the problem was caused by the fact the the original images were uploaded with an extension of "JPG".  The thumbs are created with a "jpg" extension and the links to the files are also "jpg".  When I changed the original pictures from "JPG" to "jpg" it worked perfectly.

First of all, glad you like the gallery. It is made to handle bunch of pics as easy is possible. As I wrote somewhere on the site, it needs some improvements and fixes and you are the first who came out with some of them (sorry about that).

Ups, I've forgot to write there somewhere on the page. I know about this "bug", and we tryied to fixed that before releasing plugin but didn't had any luck with it.
Anyway, we'll see about fixing that (though I doubt it will be any time soon) as most of the cameras (and all photo editing programs) gives lowercase extensions like "jpg", "png" etc. and just crappy ones give uppercase ext.
That "JPG" has given as (actually my misses) a lot of headache too!

Bad me, bad, bad! Also forgot to mention somewhere on the page that too. It is on our super secret TO DO list, as I also had similar issues on testing site, but with folder (which was immediately fixed).

Anyway, hope this will be fixed sooner as that "JPG" problem, but now you know that you have to delete all thumbs from that folder before you re-create gallery.
Sorry if that caused you lot of problems, still glad you like it.

P.S. I was sick and tired of writing all the docs and doing a website in the same time so I've kinda forgot to write some more details. I'm almost done with design of the whole "project79.net" site and will update documentation and gallery when all goes live.

Feature request.  How about:

1) adding each gallery location and thumbnail size to the database at the time of creating the gallery so that you could then have a list of existing galleries with a single click "rebuild" gallery using the existing settings.

2) to overcome the "JPG" issue can you just rename files at the point gallery creation

Well, I must say that I have been looking at your site today afternoon and was wondering who's site it is (now I know).
This is not an MS glitch but CSS. And if you change your site template to "Simple" you'll see that everything is showing like it supposed to be (no color covering). This little error happens when you make your link selector "a" with background color. The Wolf theme selectors inherit background color from page so it produces background color when you want to go further to next image.

Here is the default code from Wolf theme "a" selector:

a, a:visited {
    color: #79A325;
    background: inherit;
    text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
    color: #73471B;
    background: inherit;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

All you have to do is to delete "background:inherit;" and everything should be ok.

This can be avoid if you define main selector "a" with just color and text decoration, and make another link just for content like this:

#content a:link {
     background:#ccc;
}

This may work , but my recommendation is not to use background color for "a".

There is one more way to overide this, but try this first and let me know how it's going.

I've just been playing with wolf and I absolutely love it.  Put together with the Fancy Image Gallery and its excellent.

Am planning to use it just as an online photo gallery for the family - but obvioulsy protecting the gallery pages.  Also looking to develop client websites from time to time.

You are a star - works perfectly

Fixed one more issue!
Now you can add images to an existing gallery and trigger Create Thumbnails without any worry that they will duplicate themselves.

Fancy Image Gallery v 0.7.2

Glad you like it

Well, no!
Let me elaborate:
To make a function to remember some setting it needs some kind of DB, weather it's mysql, xml or flat file and so it complicates whole procedure and further development, and in the end gives you less control over some possible future changes for thumbs.

If its just a generic setting you need to keep track of (like: "all thumbs should be 100x100"), you can use the Plugin API's getSetting() and setSetting() functions.

(see: Plugin.php starting line 313-ish)
