Sorry, you cant just remove thumbnails from textpage with CSS. We are looking into an issue for this currently, and there should be some 2.8.1 release soon.

Correction. There are no thumbnails on Textpages, see for yourself https://www.photo.gallery/demo/x2/?mobile=1#/about

We display subfolders after the textpage, but there is no reason not to show them.

Re: Imagevue X2.8 Mobile Gallery Beta

I have my gallery up and running successfully with a lot of photos. However heres something I would like to resolve:

My image is colliding and mixing with the controls below the image (Right below the image where you have the arrow controls and Image 1/3 etc ). How can i "lift" or move the image higher so a part of the image does not get overlapped by the controls? There is ample space above the image where it can be moved.
Can i do this through the admin panel?
I have attached an image below illustrating the problem:

Good question. The effect you see is a culmination of multiple factors, including theme, image margins, thumbnails sizes, maincontrols style and other settings, as well as current image zoom, and visitors screen size. There are many ways around this depending on how you imagine it ...

Personally I think its fine if the control hover over the image ... after all, they are only active when mouse hovers in bottom area. However, then one would need to style the buttons with less transparency, and also make sure they dont overlap the frame, but instead always remain over the image.

Optionally, as you suggest, you can move them to the top of screen. Go to admin -> settings -> controls.maincontrols.align, and set "T" for "Top". You my also need to deactivate locktothumbnails and autohide if you move to the top.

Alternatively, could also increase the image margins and/or reduce thumbnail size ion the thumbnail scroller, and therefore leave more space to have the controls below the image.

Tell me how it goes ...

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /www/htdocs/w00e1877/salzburg/iv-includes/include/ivMapperXmlFolder.class.php on line 179

what is wrong here?

at the moment my website works, i uploaded and overwrite my old files from the backup, but i want to update to 2.8

Sorry about that, you probably have a really big folder tree and Imagevue is unable to rebuild the cache in time after the upgrade. At the moment the only solution is to move the folders out of the content folder and then add them in packs, refreshing the admin or the front-end.

This will allow Imagevue to rebuild the cache in parts. We're thinking on how to improve this though.

No problem Nick, you and mjau mjau make a great work, i really love imagevue.

Thank you for your help, I think this will be the problem.

I have folder 1268 and 59 905 files.

I will try your advice on monday. At the weekend we have over 30,000 visitors this is not a good time for a test.

Hope it works. I say to you, then if it worked.

I wish you a wonderful weekend.

greets

You're right there are a lot of variables and after some testing I found the best option for my site is to either 1. Lessen the Image margin value under Settings--> Image-->image
so the controls go below the image on stage.
(Or) 2. Uncheck the 'LocktoThumbnails" and increase the Margin under Settings-->Controls-->Main controls so the controls go on the image.

Setting it to the "T" top position with a low margin (so it doesnt collide with image titles/names) works too. So gotta decide between those 3 options.

thanks for the ideas.

All other options and combination of options are making it only look less aesthetic.
Thanks.

Agreed. Thanks for feedback ...

We did in fact by default set the image margin so that it just contained the thumbnails and controls below the image, without overlaying. However, since that time, we increased the default thumbnails size so that the scroller below is slightly taller. Perhaps we need to re-amend ... or maybe a better solution would be to preset/lock the height of the thumbnails in the thumbnail-scroller, so that we have full control of the height and layout ... :|

Locking would be a good idea so the whole layout doesnt "move" and become fluid like the responsive templates these days. or when You move from normal to fullscreen.
One thing i noticed is even When you set the Control to the "T" position, the whole bottom area activates when you move the mouse anywhere below it(on the picture etc) and all of them hide only when you move the mouse "above" the controls in that small remaining area. So essentially when you have it in the Top position all the controls remain visible all the time and theres no 'fullscreen experience' .
Thanks.

Also when you disable the controls.maincontrols.locktothumbnails setting?

Yes after you disable Locktothumbnails and Move the controls to the top , placing the mouse anywhere below it (anywhere on the screen infact since its at the top) activates the whole area (whole screen) and therefore the controls and thumbnails do not hide.
If the controls are at the bottom (with or without lockthumbnails) it works fine and everything hides normally for a fullscreen experience.

example: http://amazingpics.net/test/#/places/gothenburg.jpg

only when you move the mouse to the left most edge of the screen do the controls hide, else they stay visible.
Thanks.

This is something we need to look into on a specific basis ... Thing is, the hover effect to toggle display the controls, was built mainly for the bottom part of the screen for the area below the image. If you are setting controls to another location (like the top), you would need to disable the maincontrols.autohide and maybe also disable locktothumbnails I believe.

Hi I was just wondering if you could set a message at the Pre-loader while the site is loading. Right now it just displays a rotating circle something.
Many users think the website is blank and leave the website even before it loads in those few seconds...resulting in high Bounce rate and bad SEO.
Any way we can write a msg like "Loading..." or "Please wait" when the site is loading?
Thanks.

You mean they dont understand that the rotating rings mean something is loading? This is the universal language for loading something.

There is no "loading" text, but we could add it if strictly necessary, but it has never been requested before. I doubt it has a huge impact on the amount of people who leave the website instead of thinking "oh its loading something", and even for that low percentage difference, it would have a tremendously low impact on seo.
