    longer description and EXIF information

    Reply Quote
    I would really like to place an HTML formatted description for each image with line breaks. Right now it appears ALL comments entered from the admin panel indicate "guest" - there should be a way for the webmaster to put comments in.
     
    In addition, it would be very helpful to be able to put selected EXIF information in the description using special tags - i.e., #aperture, #shutter, #ISO.
     
    Things to consider for the next version.

    Hi bertsirkin,
     
    1. Open file "\CuteSoft_Client\Gallery\Popup\Default\Code.js"
     
    2. Find section below
     
    var comment=cs[i];
    d=document.createElement("DIV");
     
    3. d=document.createElement("DIV"); is the comment container. You can change the style easily. like
     
    d.style.backgroundColor="red";
     
    Regards,

    That's actually the wrong code - that pertains to the "hover" popup. That works fine. The area I'm refering to is when you CLICK the image in the gallery and a new Popup shows up with a larger image (based on the browser-window size). That area is very restricted as to how big the description can be. (see http://www.photobert.com/temp/cutesoft.jpg)
     
    BTW, IMHO, it would be easier to change the CSS file for css attributes than doing it in the javascript. 
     
    Is there any way to extend the vertical size of the comment area on the larger popup??

    Hi bertsirkin,
     
    1. Open file "\CuteSoft_Client\Gallery\Viewer\LightBox\Code.js"
     
    2. Find section below
     
    var th=Math.floor(toolbarheight*tstep/10);
      this.toolbar.style.height=th+"px";
      this.frame.style.height=h+th+"px";
     
    3. Change it to
     
    var th=Math.floor(toolbarheight*tstep/10);
    this.toolbar.style.height="300px";
    this.frame.style.height=h+300+"px";
     
    4. You can change to the value you need.
     
    Regards,

    Thanks - that just what I needed. In the future, it would be great if that code could dynamically expand the height to accomodate the text.
     
    Also, is there any way to add carriage-returns/new lines to the text?
     
    thanks,

    1. Open file "\CuteSoft_Client\Gallery\Viewer\LightBox\Code.js"
     
    2. Find section below
     
    var th=Math.floor(toolbarheight*tstep/10);

    Hi Ken,
     
    Not sure you understand what I mean. Within a description, I would like to be able to add newlines (i.e., \n  or <br>).  For example, I'd like a description like this:
     
    --------------------------------
    THis is line one.
     
    This is line two.
    --------------------------------
     
    Right now, if I enter that, I get:
     
    --------------------------------
    THis is line one. This is line two.
    --------------------------------
     
    is there any way to embed a CR/LF within the text of the description?
     
    thanks,
    bert

    Hi bertsirkin,
     
    1. Open file "\CuteSoft_Client\Gallery\Viewer\LightBox\Code.js".
     
    2. Find section below
     
    var s2=document.createElement("SPAN");
     
    3. Change it to
     
    var s2=document.createElement("DIV");
     
    4. Find section below
     
    s2.appendChild(document.createTextNode(comment.Content));
     
    5. Change it to
     
     s2.innerHTML=HtmlEncode(comment.Content).split("\n").join("<br/ >").split("\r").join("");
    s2.style.marginLeft="60px";
     
    Regards,

    Thanks Ken - that's perfect!
     
    You might want to consider putting that in the next release.
