Apply Default Theme (modified CSS) to next album

I got my Album1 looking all very nice and pretty. So, I applied the Theme to Album2 I wanted to play with.

Album1 shows on the index page thumbnails in nice rows of about 5 images, for about 8 rows + 2 images (page 1 of 2 pages).

Album2 shows 2 thumbnails on row 1, about triple or more size than Album1's. then another couple on row 2 and sow on. Some are 1 thumbnail, some 3. None aligned in any manner.

Why would the same settings for the Theme not be carried over from Album1 to Album2? I opened 2 sessions of ZP Admin to check and in fact, Theme Options "Theme for : DefaultBoston `do not match`. I'd expect all the settings for the SAME Theme/SAME CSS to be the same from Album to Album.

    As with any piece of software, if two versions are not copies are not behaving identically, SOMETHING is different. Could be the options are not set the same on both installations. Could also be that the "data" of the different albums shows up behavior

    "SOMETHING is different."

    This is what I'm uncertain of: When I use the identical Theme and the identical Theme_color (CSS file), what options should I expect to see the same when viewing the Theme Options tab?

    I actually viewed Album1 settings and in another view Album2. Forced Album2 to be identical. Saved. It reverts back to different settings. Where else should I be checking? I'm not "blaming" ZP, it's just that my expectations was other than what I got, although exactly how ZP was intended to act.

    Will send PDF shots of the Optons/Theme Options for both.

    http://rbctravels.woodengems.com/sample/Album1: > these are the settings I want
    http://rbctravels.woodengems.com/sample/Album2: > I tried to change to match the above and it says it Saves then reverts back to these!!!

    NOTICE: On both, you wil see the faulty theme_color list box.

    Hi acrylian,

    Any idea yet of why I can't make the two albums match?
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    Sorry, I have no idea.

    Okay now it's worse. I just applied MoonLover to a 3rd album and set options, and saved. IT DID NOT KEEP. The settings reverted to whatever the "defaults were for the theme. Does this mean "options" is misleading me to believe I can set what cannot be set?

    No, you indeed discovered a bug. It's not working for me either (I have to admit I never tested that before, I just trusted sbillard...:-)), but it's working for sbillard. We haven't figured out yet why that is so.

    Sanity has been restored. I updated to 1.1.5 [1346] build - not for this reason - so will let you guys play this weekend. Maybe create a Earth Hour theme to use Saturday night betweeen 8-9 DST:)

    Still don't have the theme_color box in Default theme so I can switch to light.css to play.

    The problem with saving the theme options is fixed in tonight's build.

    nothing to say, clicked in error. Be back tomorrow :)

    Updated build to 28-March (was not prompted to updated the tables), not sure why. All cookies & cache cleared from browser.

    Deleted all extra CSS files from my DefaultBoston theme. "Active" is dark.css

    Set Album2 to DefaultBoston. Set options for sizes to match Album1. COULD NOT SET CSS so assume it's dark.css.

    View Album1 (Admin) thumbnails: Row 1: 5 images; Row 2: 2 images; Row 3-7: 5 images
    View Album2 (Admin) thumbnails: Rows 1-6: 5 images; Row 7: 2 images

    The difference between Album1 and Album2 is that in addition to Album2 containing all the images from Album1, it has duplicate images that contain Photoshop frames around the border. Unfortunately, I cannot determine which is which in thumbnail view only.

    ON BOTH: thumbnails JUMP when "hover" with mouse -- from 5 thumbs on rows to 2 and back again.

    ON BOTH: CANNOT SEE THE CSS OPTION (dark, light, etc)
