If you need individual photos to link to a certain place instead of a “general blanket link” or need them to have certain titles, you can set these things individually for each photo. I realize that it can be a pain, but to have these configurations each manually set ensures that other automatic settings wont apply and override these.
To make sure each photo goes where you want, enter the link in the ” link URL ” box provided for each photo in your album . Then you need to change this in your settings so that the PSO (photo specific link overrules) overrides the other overall automatic settings. You can configure this in table VI: Links, & play around with the settings. Be sure to click the PSO box for any different, specific behavior types (slideshow, widgets, albums, etc.) you want to take predominate effect. Hope this helps.
Thanks, but that’s not what I was asking. I asked if the overall settings, ie, picture size, text showing and so on could be unique for each album? The first album is just random shots of her taking people on rides and they do not require any text. For the “Horses” album she wants to include a brief description on each photo.
There is an alternative thumbnail size that you can select in the album admin. Set the size in Table I-C1a,3a and 4a. The fullsize sizes can be specified in the shortcode.
Just want to clarify before I mess things up. Will what you are suggesting not apply to all Photo Albums? I need a unique setting for each album.
Also, you didn’t respond to my question about changing the font colors. You can hardly see the selections now because of the font color.
Thanks!
The alternate thumbnail size is settable on a per album basis on the Album Admin -> Edit Album Information screen. So you have 2 possible sizes.
Font colors: If you mean the commentform below the twitter and facebook buttons: this is set by the themes css, and not by the wppa+ settings.
I guess I’m not explaining it properly. I’m not talking about thumbnail sizes. I’m asking if the settings, all of them, such as showing text on a photo, can be unique for each album.
On the font settings FThemes sorted part of it out by setting the background color to transparent which worked perfectly; however, my question was about the font on the titles and so on, which still isn’t visible. I know this is a CSS issue with the designer, so I’ll go back to them on it.
Thanks@!
Okay, I used my CSS Viewer and found what I was looking for on the fonts in the “Settings”, Table III, and I changed the background and font colors, but nothing changed. ???
The backgrounds of the album covers can be set in Table II-B1 and 2. (alternating odd/even).
Most of the fonts can be set in Table V.
The links on the album covers can be modified by:
.covertext-frame .wppa-box-text a {
color:....;
}
Thanks. So what are all the background color settings in Table III for? Only one changed anything.
Table II B1 and B2 have nothing to do with backgrounds, but I did find them in Table III and they changed. Where do I find the settings for “Slideshow” and “View X Photos”? I need the change the font color and the hover color.
Thanks!
Table II B1 and B2
Sorry a typo, III indeed.
The fontcolor of links is left to the theme’s default setings. You can overrule them with:
.wppa-box-text a {
..
..
}
Sorry, I am no coder. Do you mean for me to add exactly what you typed, with the periods? Will this override every CSS setting on the site? If so, that sounds dangerous.
Thanks!
No, the periods are a ‘fill in what you want’ placeholder.
working example:
.wppa-box-text-a {
color: #7777FF;
}
for dark blue
Kinda figured that, but I never like to assume.
You didn’t answer my question about overriding all settings on the site. I’ve been massaging all kinds of settings on the Photo Album and the comments sections and so on, and obviously don’t want to lose everything I’ve done.
Thanks!
It is just an addition and harmless.
