Aesqe

Fixed in 1.6.7 which will be out by Monday – thanks for the bug report, pheonixgh! 🙂

@jaypeetee26: could you please tell me which version of the plugin and what browser are you using?

I’m assuming you have WordPress 3.1 installed?

Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, joo-joo, I’ll add it to my todo list 🙂

@llprice: I’m glad you’ve found your way around 🙂

There are a few bugs regarding my options system, and sometimes the default options override those already – I hope to have that fixed for both old and new users soon.

The manual is a bit outdated too, but I hope I’ll be able to do something about it in the following weeks.

Hi Bruceleeroy 🙂

What you need is a plugin that would allow for some customizations in the way uploads are organized. File Gallery does not have such capability (yet), unfortunately…

I’m not aware of existence of such plugin, but maybe someone ends up here recommending, or even writing something to suit your needs.

Please do leave a comment here if you happen to find a useful plugin for your use case! 🙂

@dtimekeeper: image size for the bigger image is set in the template file itself, as it’s non standard behavior to have more than two image sizes in a gallery (one for thumbnail links, the other for linked images).

“Simple” template is there merely to show what can be accomplished with File Gallery templates and a little bit of JavaScript 🙂

I think the best advice I can give you is to make a copy of the simple template in your theme directory and then change the string ‘medium’ at the end of line 4 in the gallery.php file (“$intermediate_size = wp_get_attachment_image_src($attachment->ID, ‘medium’);”) to ‘large’ or ‘full’ or some other custom image size.

Here’s a copy/paste from a mail on how to make a copy of the template that I’ve sent to another person asking about a similar thing today:

1) create a subdirectory named “file-gallery-templates” in your theme directory, and then copy the whole “simple” template directory into it. Rename that copy of the “simple” directory to something else, like “simple-custom”.

2) open the “style.css” file and replace all occurences of “.gallery.simple” with “.gallery.simple-custom” (or anything else you choose to name the new template)

3) still in the style.css file, change the value “50%” to “100%” on line 56 – that should place the bigger image before the thumbnails.

4) play with the percentage values on line 73 of the css file – that sets the width of the thumbnails

Please do reply here if you have more questions 😉

@tamara-it: when you’re on the single post editing screen, do you see the File Gallery metabox with thumbnails of pictures attached to that post?

If yes, please check that on WordPress media settings page, the very first File Gallery option – “Disable ‘File Gallery’ handling of [gallery] shortcode?” – is not checked.

If you don’t see the File Gallery metabox, please check if it’s enabled via Screen options tab (right top of the page).

sorry about that, Grenem, I should have noticed that myself 😐

I’ve uploaded v1.6.5.4 of the plugin (which fixes this), but it might take up to 15 minutes for it to become available.

thank you very much for reporting this!
