Gallery 1.1 Now Available ∞
Posted at 10:07 PM on May 5th, 2009
With the “smashing” success of Gallery 1.0 I am happy to announce the release of version 1.1, which includes quite a few changes, including a custom write panel (shown below), bugfixes for IE6 (mainly the navigation menu), and other bugfixes. As always, you need to grab and upload both the Gallery and Thematic themes.
Custom Write Panel
At the request of a commenter on Smashing Magazine’s release post, I have added a custom write panel, which streamlines the process of adding new posts by giving you a new section with your custom fields pre-defined and ready to be populated.
Custom Write Panels Make Life Easy
List of updates and bugfixes:
- Next/Previous buttons changed to basic links to avoid breaking long names
- ‘New’ icons no longer being cut off on top
- Custom field entry changed to custom write panel
- functions.php – remove sidebar instead of hiding it for non-pages.
- Single page images were only allowed to use a relative path, now allow for relative or absolute
- IE6 update, menu displays horizontally
- IE6 update, space between thumbnail rows eliminated
- Single page image container no longer cut off on left side
- Other minor CSS updates

Hand-crafted in the year of the tiger.

Hope the above makes sense
This theme is just amazing thx a lot for this.
Do you know how to increase the number of posts on the index page ? Because mine is stuck at only 10 posts…
thx again
Hey,
This setting is in your actual WordPress Settings, if you go to your admin panel and go down to
Setting > Reading > Blog pages show at most
Your amount should say 10 now? change this to 28
Or to have a look at a few more settings check the Smashin Magazine link with a few setup instructions.

Hi!
Big thanks for a great theme!
I have an issue with child categories, i cannot find a way to style the dropdown list?
I would like a horizontal-styled list with my child categories under the navigation bar..
Anyone have any clues how to solve this?
Thanks again, really great work!
I have this issue aswell, have you gotten any tips yet?

Is possible upload a big photo in a
vertical / orizzontal alignment?
Thanks
@pasgal
Open up /Gallery/single.php in your favorite text editor and delete
width=”500″ height=”375″
from lines 42 and 44.
That should prevent images from being stretched to fit the 500×375 window.
Great theme.
Couple of suggestions, ad comment count to the thumbnail previews on the homepage and also rating, so people can instantly see whats hot and whats not.
Cheers

Hello lovely Peeps!
Hope this finds you in Positive Light!
Thank you for a fabulous theme, i’m using it for my site – still new, work in progress
I have a couple questions and would love your assistance:
1. Info on Author Page: i have it checked for display (also filled my bio on my admin) however how do i see this in action?
am i missing something?
2. Secondary Aside: This is where the Links, RSS Feeds and Meta widgets are by default. I’m also not seeing this anywhere – when i go to my widgets section i can’t select the “meta” to add.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance! Again thank you for all your fabulous creations!!
Blessed Light,
Aline
I am using this theme on my portfolio site and went in and changed the viewing post # from 28 to 35 to add an additional row and now, instead of rows of thumbs, I have one SUPER long column… putting it back to 28 posts didn’t fix the issue either.
Any clue as to what might have happened? I’m only running Akismet Spam Blocker… no additional plugins are running.
Yes, this is a problem. For some reason, it takes a class name off your
tag and that class name is actually needed to show the thumbnails correctly.The class is “home” and yours has “blog” instead. You should go through your style.css file and replace any instance of “.home” with “.blog”.
Thank you, worked like a charm!
i want to use the gallery feature, but not the whole theme. and is it possible for you to have more then one gallery on one page, instead of having the next gallery under “older post” ?
GREAT theme. Two questions:
How do I activate the Bookmark This/Tweet This for the posts?
On the About/Submit A Site examples on MixCSS, there is an “About” sidebar. Which of the widgetized areas of the Thematic structure is this? I can’t seem to get it to work.
Chris thank you so much for this awesome theme!! Would it be possible to implement PayPal? I have no clue how to go about this so if anyone has any ideas it’d be much appreciated, thanks!
Sure, but of course it would take some effort to do. You can try the WP E-commerce plugin from Instinct, just search in your plugin page and it should be there somewhere. Not sure how it would work with Gallery, but I’m sure it can be integrated.
Thanks for sharing. I’ll be trying to see if I can make this work on my website.
Any thoughts about replacing the image in the artwork-container with video?
ıdont used this template
problem “Templates can not be found”
Hey Chris, great theme man. Curious what changes do I need to make so that the thumbnails would just link to an image in a new window (as opposed to a page). Kind of like in the first row of your site. Thanks in advance.

Was there a fix to this 1.1 for Internet Explorer 8 issue?
No scrollbar on IE8
Just curious, is there a tut on how to add the buy sell ads modules? I see the buy sell adds info within the css, but no widget. Do you have a suggestion on where I can go to figure these things out? THE THEME IS AWESOME!

No scrollbar? I downloaded the latest version of Gallery and Thematic.
How can I fix it?
Thnx
I figured out how to get the scrollbar to appear:
Appearance -> Editor -> Stylesheet :
In the css stylesheet, change the overflow into ‘ auto’ :
.ie6 #container{
width: 100%;
overflow: auto
That worked for me. Great theme btw! -)
Link is dead…. help me
