Default Google Photo View

    Hi, if I can PM you I’ll share page link. Generically, is there a way to have the plugin default to open the google album directly (i.e., without Lightbox individual photo views) similar to how a url redirect would work? Doing this would allow users to view/scroll through all photos rather than walk through individual photos. I’ve activated the Google API (thank you for the instructions – they have changed a bit from your published walkthrough but still very clear) and the plugin is working perfectly – picked up newly added albums. PS: these albums (and the short code) are contained in a tabbed container which segregates albums via year).

    Also, in Firefox the images in the grid are not selectable, and all page navigation freezes. Not the case in Safari, eventhough image tiles are still behind the album cover photo and under the header, I can still select visible photos, but I can’t see them all.

    I just refreshed your page and at least it appears as it should.

    I still have the grid behind the album cover and page header, plus loss of navigation.

    You might need to clear out your browser cache – it was showing me things the incorrect way until I made sure I refreshed your child theme’s style.css. The only issue I currently see is that the top gets obscured by the header, and for that you can do this:

    .photonicModalOverlay {
    top: 50px !important;
    z-index: 10;
}

    Since your theme’s header shrinks that is a bit of an issue, and if you set the top to 60px instead of 50px you can be assured that the “×” mark is always shown.

    Thank you for all your help. Again, this is a great solution and your persistence with Google changes is awesome.

    Oh – one more thing… if you don’t want to set the top: 50px !important or 60px, you can set the z-index to some outrageously high number like 100000, since your theme sets your header at 99999.

    I am marking this resolved since I see that things are working on your site at present. Please let me know if you feel otherwise.

    I’ve encountered a situation where the photos show “under” the popup when they are selected. Users can’t intuitively navigate this away. My theme required that the popup have a z-index of 10px to get it over the gallery display, so now I’m stumped on how to push the selected photo over the top of the gallery popup.

    PS: here is the code in the child theme which drives the gallery popup z-index: .photonicModalOverlay {
    top: 60px !important;
    z-index: 10px !important;
    }

    Are you saying that the lightbox shows up below the popup panel?

    Can you provide me with a URL?

    Yes, so the gallery stays over the top.

    OK – this wasn’t happening when we addressed the problem last week, right? Did something change since then?
