This post is outdated.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.
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.
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.

LikeI 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! -)

I fixed the IE6 issue - it wasn't showing all content
Change CSS

.ie6 .entry-content {

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

LikeHey 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.

LikeSure, 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.

LikeGREAT 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.

LikeI 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.

LikeYes, 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".

LikeHello 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

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.

Like@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.

LikeHey,
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.

LikeHey,
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

LikeAnyone 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
