Tabby and Foogallery album

It looks like the gallery on the second tab is rendered initially with a no size as it is not visible on page load, then when that tab is selected the tab content area does not know the size required. This issue occurs with other image album/gallery and map plugins when rendered in a tab. There is no fix for this currently, but alternative gallery plugins may work better.

Ok, thanks!

Is the issue in Tabby or in FooGallery? In short: who needs (or could) fix this? Using an other Gallery is no option for me….

Thanks!

That’s a good question, and is probably more a matter of opinion than one with a concrete answer.

This issue isn’t limited to just this tabs plugin or just one gallery plugin. To add a fix for this into tabby responsive tabs I would need to force a reload of the page or do something with javascript to reload the tab content. I have not found a good way of adding it to the plugin that wouldn’t add a lot of overhead, so I don’t have any plans to do this.

It may be possible for the gallery plugin’s developer to do something. The developer of one of the google maps plugins was able to make their plugin tabs-aware to prevent the same issue.

I have been working on a new plugin which attempts to address this issue. If you’d like to see the beta when it is ready, please send me a message via the contact page on cubecolour.co.uk

Hello, thanks for your answer!

I understand and yes I asked the gallery plugin’s developer and this is his answer: “Hi there,
I had a look at your pages and can see the problem. The album template you are using also uses a jquery plugin under the hood. That plugin needs to calculate where to position each thumbnail, but it cannot do that correctly, because the album is not visible on the page (it is hidden by the tabby plugin).
The solution would be to run the album jQuery code when the tab is clicked, but that is not easy to do without duplicating code and inserting some custom javascript into your page. You would also need to hook into the tabby tab click event, but there is no way to do that currently, as the tabby plugin exposes no events of it’s own.
So there is no easy solution for you at this point unfortunately“

I like to see the Beta and I also want to test for you if needed. For this point I’ll stay at this version, otherwise I can’t complete the website ??

Thanks for your help!!
