Gallery 1.1 Now Available

This post is outdated. The Gallery theme is now available from my theme company, UpThemes. You can download it here. Also, be sure to check out Gallery Pro, the professional version of the popular free Gallery theme.

Gallery 1.1 Released

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

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

Thanks a lot! I've just launch a website with this template www.wp-business-theme.com that present the best business themes.

Link is dead.... help me

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! -)

No scrollbar? I downloaded the latest version of Gallery and Thematic.
How can I fix it?
Thnx

at last it worked fine.. now i need how to change the custom 500x375 image into a youtube video .. i wish to do a mix of youtbe video and images too .. so please help me to do a video gallery or if possible a mix f both thanks in advannz

how to install this theme ? it needs thematic too ? then how to mix both :?

Chris,
I fixed the IE6 issue - it wasn't showing all content

Change CSS
from this:
.ie6 .entry-content {
height:130px;
}

to this:
.ie6 .entry-content {
height:100%;
}

Hey buddy thanks for sharing but the link seems to dead :( Hope you can fix this asap.

A new version of Gallery has just been released here.

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!

Was there a fix to this 1.1 for Internet Explorer 8 issue?

No scrollbar on IE8

how can i add the thumbnail information window box what i mean by that is the pop up information bar when your mouse scrolls over the thumbnail can anyone help me???

love this theme :)

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.

ıdont used this template

problem "Templates can not be found"

Any thoughts about replacing the image in the artwork-container with video?

Thanks for sharing. I'll be trying to see if I can make this work on my website.

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.

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.

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" ?

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!

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

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

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 500x375 window.

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?

/Peter

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.

Weird its not allowing me to write that, if you are unsure on commenting out check here as a referance http://codex.wordpress.org/Commenting_Code

Hope the above makes sense :)

Sorry seems like the comment published wrong :S

To comment out use "" use whats in betwen " " it dissappeared in my other comment

Firstly - thanks for the theme !!.. Brilliant. Im am trying to modify it slightly and want to remove the category bar ... where is tis located ?? In the header or the index ... hope someone can help. Thanks

Hey,
Hope this helps I just gave it a go, did you want the menu bar removing at the top?

If so open up your 'functions.php' and delete or maybe comment out (this way you can always re-enable it) these following lines: 33 - 39

<a href="">Home

To Comment out these lines use

Now at this stage you should see there still is the background image of the menu, now we need to open up style.css and find #access -- Now theres a few options, you can comment out lines 181-235 this will remove were the menu once was, but it gets rid of any padding and margins it had so the RSS Link gets pushed to the top of the page.

If you want to keep the text RSS Link were it was before just comment out lines 186-235 on style.css

Reupload both files to your gallery theme folder and it should be okay?

If anyone wants to input on my comment please do as I am still learning myself.

Cheers

Thanks a lot Chris ... Ive give that a crack

Ok mate no worries

Anyone had problems with drop down menus? It occurs when you have a parent category then within that another category, this makes a drop down box but it goes behind the images on screen?

Also this might be a long shot but could I change the homepage so it displayed parent categorys? I might have a look at making a custom template. Any help would be apprciated

Cheers

I am having the same problem. Is it a javascript-related issue? Thanks.

I think it will be a css problem,I haven't looked into it fully.also the search page is not formatted it would be good to see the same formating as the tags page

Set the z-index of the menu to a high number. This should solve it

Is there anyway to intergrate lightbox with the gallery theme?

It would be nice to press the image which would then bring up lightbox

Thanks

To correct my previous entry above, the error in the admin template area is "template missing" and I have reloaded several times. Everything looks like it is there. Running WP 2.7.1. Thanks in advance for any help.

You need to also upload the Thematic theme to the themes folder as well. It can be found here.

Sorry Chris. Figured it out by following my breadcrumbs back to the scene of the accident. Thanks again.

Hey,
I have uploaded the latest Thematic and Gallery theme but it still says Stylesheet and Template missing?

Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Cheers

Worked it out.

I was uploading the folder thematic.0.9 but didnt realise it wasnt the root folder, reupload the folder 'thematic' as the root theme dir.

Cheers :)

This theme looks great! When I expand the zip in the proper folder on my server. WP admin never sees the index or css file and it sits in the bottom of my themes page on admin. Any suggestions. I have deleted and reinstalled several times and even reinstalled WP.

Thanks again for a great looking theme!
