Hi, Martyn!

I don't know what you're talking about... I don't get the overlay with IE6 at all? But I remember that you had the same issue with that bittersweet embrace site too, and this one uses the same template.. it's some margin setting at the css that's causing this..

So the more I learn about this whole ModX world, the more I'm loving it!  This snippet has been the key point of my personal website as I am just beginning to play with the framework.  That said I do have a quandary I am trying to resolve:
When I use the "pics_per_page" setting the system generates links to child "pages", however those links return the 404 page!  Here is an example of the URL generated:
site.org/index.php?q=20030404.html?page=2

Are there specific settings that have to be used to utilize the &pics_per_page feature?

site.org/index.php?q=20030404.html?page=2

The problem is that your url generates wrong. There is two ? chars in the url and the later should be &. But what version of MaxiGallery are you using? The first version did not use MODx makeUrl api call to generate urls and this could happen at that time. It's fixed in the newest versions though.

If you are using the newest MaxiGallery, what FURL settings you use?

[CwnAnnwn]

I've got the 0.4.1 ver installed.  The FURL settings are as follows:
UseFURL="yes";
Prefix="index.php?q=";
Suffix=".html";
FriendlyAlias="yes";
FriendlyAliasPath="no";
DupAlias="no";
AutoGenAlias="no"

[doze]

Prefix="index.php?q=";

That's the problem. The makeUrl api call cannot cope with prefixes that allready has ? in it.. I'll note this to the devteam and see if we can get it resolved.

any way of turning off the overlay on ie?

any way of turning off the overlay on ie?

Yes, the overlay is made for IE inside conditional css statements, just remove it and overlay should be gone in IE.

So, from the functions.php file search for <!--[if gte IE 5.5]>

Replace this

Code:

$slidebox_css_str = '
<!--[if gte IE 5.5]>
<![if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
* html #overlay{
background-color: #333;
back\ground-color: transparent;
background-image: url(' . $modx->config['site_url'] . 'assets/snippets/maxigallery/slidebox/blank.gif);
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (src="' . $modx->config['site_url'] . 'assets/snippets/maxigallery/slidebox/overlay.png", sizingMethod="scale");
</style>
<![endif]>
<![endif]-->';

With:

Code:

$slidebox_css_str = '';

EDIT: Or were we talking about Lightbox v2 ? If that's the case, you need to compare the slidebox css with Lightbox v2 css and replace the lightbox overlay styles with css from slidebox file (#overlay sections).

Prefix="index.php?q=";

That's the problem. The makeUrl api call cannot cope with prefixes that allready has ? in it.. I'll note this to the devteam and see if we can get it resolved.

I don't think this is a bug per se. The HTTP protocol doesn't support parsing URLs in the format of: http://site?arg1?arg2. The proper way to solve this is to change the URL to be: http://site?arg1=foo&arg2=bar and have the parser deal with that properly.

[OpenGeek]

Right, I think the issue here is the way you are using makeUrl() -- you should never supply a ? before a parameter string given in makeUrl() -- you only ever need to use &, because all MODx URL's have a ? already, even if when rewritten by mod_rewrite, you can't see it anymore.   

[doze]

Yes yes, I know this and I never use ? in the parameters when calling makeUrl function. But even though you call make url api with &someparameter, it automatically changes the first parameter to be ?someparameter when furls are enabled. And when user has FURLs enabled and uses index.php?q= as prefix (that allready has ? to be in url) then when makeUrl builds the url, it becomes index.php?q=<alias><suffix>?someparameter.. you see? So makeUrl should look when generating the urls that if FURLs are enabled, if prefix or suffix allready has ? it should use & at the first parameter.

Okay, I hope this isn't just something I've been overlooking for two hours or some really fundamental thing I'm just not managing to grasp (either is possible), but I can't seem to get two things working with my implementation of MaxiGallery on this page:

http://www.ideabankpreview.com/mhm/take-a-look.htm

The snippet call is:

[[MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`lightboxv2` &pics_in_a_row=`3` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &titles_in_overview=`1` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`]]

1. Why do the thumbnails have a border?

2. Why can't I see the caption/title etc. that was entered in the manage gallery interface? How do I get captions into the overview and the larger photo?

Thanks so much for your help...

Hi,

i don(t have all the answers but concerning the first one, do you use IE to see your website
If so you have to turn off this border with css.

img {
border:none;
}

sould do the trick.

Hope that helps.

Perfect! Now, if I could just figure out why the title/caption thing won't work. LOL.

Must be Monday. My brain is fogged.

UPDATE:  THIS WAS ALSO A CSS ISSUE. I PUT THE SNIPPET CALL INSIDE A SPAN CLASS THAT CHANGED THE FONT COLOR FROM WHITE (THE DEFAULT CSS) TO BLACK.
