Changing the group style

[Sugrat]

Is there any way of changing the style of the exhibition groups, so it looks more pleasing to the eye?

For example like having the same display options as the non grouped index page?

I hope this makes sense? if not I can post images :-)

Anyone else notice if you have more then a couple of thumbnails on the index page that the text get's bunched up and covered over if the screen is set to 1024?

Not at the moment, unless you do it by altering code in file "/indexstyles/groupindex.php". This capability coming in future, though. What kind of layout are you looking for?

This must a browser thing - html can be interpreted in so many ways. If you can post a screenshot or tell me how to make it happen with http://exhibitserver.com/gallery/ I'll be happy to see if there are any html code problems.

With reference to styles, I mean like having text displayed in different places ie. have the text for the groups on top and thumbs under it etc..

Like:

Gallery One - People
x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
"Collection of Photographs...."

(x = thumbnail)

I hope that makes sense!! lol

And here's the examples of the thumbnails, first is wtih 5 thumbnails displayed and the second is 6 thumbnails.

You see how just adding the one more has pushed the text right up.

That is Internet Explorer doing its own style of rendering the page - it tries to preserver the left paragraph even if there is no room for it so it overlaps. If you view it with e.g. FireFox (http://www.mozilla.org/ ) you see that it does it correctly (as you wished) and puts the images below header and then text below that. This all comes down to the fact that html is not a DTP language - it suggests layout.


You can get around the problem by using less thumbs or change them to mirothumbs.
