Image rollover not acting like it is suppose to

THANKS FOR THIS APP!!!!!

I have spent the last hour or so digging through this forum looking for the answer to my problem and when I try what "might" do it or "should" do it....it just doesn't do it.

I did a test to see if i could figure it out...but to the best of my knowledge the rollover tip should work in the gallery as well as slideshow (with a little different parameter syntax of course). Well mine works but when I try and control it...it does it's own thing.

I tried changing this line in my config.ini ....
Code
imagepopinfo = 0,0,0,0,0,0
then i tried...
Code
imagepopinfo = 1,1,1,1,1,1
but i get the same thing. Now when i change this line ....
Code
thumbpopinfo = 0,0,0,0,0,1
it does like it is suppose to. So now I have this..
[img:603:374]http://www.uzzbay.com/stuff/rolloverissue.jpg[/img]

where the thumb rollover is behaving..but no matter what i change on the 'imagepopinfo' line...it still shows the same thing...for that image grab..i had it set to
Code
imagepopinfo = 1,1,1,1,1,1
but now it is all set to ZEROs and the gallery can be found http://www.uzzbay.com and the image used in the screen grab above can be found by going to Flash/Web via the menu.

I have checked other linked galleries from this forum and from the main site and found most to be the same..but i did find one or two that were not like this. I tried opening the app in a diff browser. I tried balsting my cache...I am at a loss now...

Any help is appreciated..
thanks


EDIT: I was just playing around with it a bit more and it looks to only work on the image if I use the option button at the bottom of the app to turn thumbnails off....if this is working as designed....how do I get the rollover to look the same when I rollover the image after selecting a thumbnail.

Did you edit the right files?

For the thumbnail gallery you must change config.ini.
More info: https://www.photo.gallery/support/docs/295

And for the slideshow you must edit slideshowimagevueconfig.ini.
There is no online documentation about it, but I believe some options are: index,name,action,descriptions

Example:
Code
imagepopinfo = index,name,action,descriptions

I edited the config.ini but i never touched the slideshowimagevueconfig.ini as I did not think I was in the slideshow section by clicking on a thumbnail...

But i modified that file now by using...
Code
imagepopinfo = index,name,action,descriptions
Everything works except Descriptions...so I tried the following variations with no luck either...

description
descript
desc

Is what I am trying to do possible? If not, does someone know of a work around?

Basically I just want to have a description of the image or rather a description of the part I played in the image's production display somewhere on the page when you click on a thumbnail and see the larger image. I know this is possible when using slideshow..but for my purposes...I would rather the user be able to see the thumbnails and select the one they want more info about instead of going through a full blown slideshow. I am not very confident that visitors to my site would know they could get more info by viewing a slideshow as opposed to the image gallery navigation.

Again thanks for this app....it's is awesome!


EDIT: Ok so the more I dig around the more I find :)
In the slideshowimagevueconfig.ini I found this....
Code
displayposition = left
displayimageindex = false
displayname = true
displaydescription = true
hideextension = true
Which should suit my purposes....but if i set displaypostion=left and my image is big...the description just doesn't show up at all until I expand my browser window. Is there a way to reserve space for the description or should I just make my images smaller so they don't fill up so much space?

So is it ok if I answer my own questions on this forum? :)

First off I got a response to my initial question really quick so by me answering myself does not imply that I am not getting responses. My last two post have been with in a few minutes of each other.

But I wanted to post this just in case someone has the same question I did.

Anyway I found ..
Code
maxwidth = 550
in the slideshowimagevueconfig.ini and am using that to control the width of my images, just in case i upload one wider than that. This allows for the description to have room to display on the left. It still will disappear is the browser window in too narrow...but with my image only being 550 wide now if they have a browser smaller than that...well they need to upgrade monitors.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

P.S. If there is something I could do to help with the documentation..let me know.
