[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Weird gaps in gallery view

  • This only seems to be happening in one of my galleries, and I’m not sure why (it also happens on a friend’s gallery). There are weird gaps shown in the listing of thumbnails.

    Example here.

    The 3rd and 5th rows only display one thumbnail, while the others are full. I can’t figure it out. I’ve tried resorting the gallery so the images with a similar ratio are grouped together, and still nothing.

  • If you use different thumbnail sizes you should work with fixed width / height in the css. At the best you can do this with firebug

    I am having the exact same problem. I set my fixed thumbs, and that didnt fix the problem. I downloaded Firebug and was messing around with it, but I couldnt figure out what to do to fix this gap problem.

    Could someone please help.

    Hi there!
    I have the same Problem:
    View Image

    I have already pinned it down to exactly what alex is saying. In my example, some of the Thumbnails are 200 x 121 pixels and some are 200 x 122. Even this difference of one pixel in height destroys the view.

    If I put a fixed height to the .ngg-gallery-thumbnail style it works. Also if I Re-generate the Thumbnails with settings to fixed size.

    So If in Options – Thumbnails you set the fixed size and ignore proportions, then regenerate thumbnails for your gallery it will work.

    But I wish there was another way. This is hard to explain to my “customers” (my parents ;-))

    Anyway… Alex.. I JUST LOVE your plugin! THANK YOU!

    Thanks for replying wearitall. When you say this..

    If I put a fixed height to the .ngg-gallery-thumbnail style it works.

    How and exactly did you put? Thanks.

    Well. In the ngggallery.css (in plugin-subfolder css) you could put

    height:yourheightpx;

    into either one of these styles…

    .ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box {
	float: left;
}

.ngg-gallery-thumbnail {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 5px;
 }

    You’ll have to try what works for you. Problem is that you will have to remember what you did and it will only work if you keep the same size of thumbnails forever. This is not a very flexible solution which is why I stick with the other way.

    Cheers

    OMG!!!!

    wearitwell!! I can not thank you enough. This fixed my problem. I owe you big time man.

    Adding the height to the css solved my problem.

    You’re welcome Raymond,
    But remember to backup the files before updating the plugin ??

    Anybody can please let me know what if i want to get gallery creation date (date when gallery was created)?

    In database tables there is not any field for album date or gallery date…. so i am bit confused… i saw field for imagedate but that is not enough for me…

    Please provide solution for this.

    Thanks in Advance..
