TOPIC: Thumbnails disappear in Scrollbar

Thumbnails disappear in Scrollbar 3 years, 6 months ago #9957

Hi,

first of all: thanks for Expose it's great!

But unfortunately there's one thing I can't solve: If I put more than 10 videos in an album and scroll to the end and back to the beginning again, the first thumbnail isn't visible anymore. I did set the "Image Strip Max Visible Images" to "20", also with an XML-editor, as recommended in another post in this forum. But it doesn't help.
Strange is, that this only occurs, when I scroll per "rollover" (NOT with the vertical scrollbar under the thumbnails). If I put i.e. 12 videos in one album, the first two thumbnails disappear after scrolling.

My system is Joomla 1.0.15. I don't know the version of Expose 4 exactly (a friend did the setup) but the "expose.xml"-file says RC4 and the "expose.html.php"-file says RC3. Where can I look up my version? Is this problem probably already solved with a new version?

Thanks in advance and best regards,


Frank

Did you check the value of the 'contentnumber' of the album in album.xml. It should be the qty of pictures/video's it contains.
Trial and error, but first a backup!

Hi Tokapi,

thanks for your reply.

I checked the albums.xml file and the entries didn't match. For one folder the value was 14 (instead of 10) and for two other folders it was 8 (instead of 10). I adjusted the values to the correct settings, but the problem is still the same. More than 10 videos have the effect, that the first thumbnails disappear after scrolling to the end and to the beginning again.

Thanks and best regards,


Frank

Try to check the structure of all albumXXX.xml files too. A decent XML editor should reveal some possible errors to you. If this didn't help, then try with a clean start: backup the actual /xml and /img directory and restore the /xml and /img from our package. Use JoomXplorer to do this, because the ownership of the files should be preserved!

Hi Tokapi,

thanks for your tips. I'm not sure how to search for errors with an xml-editor. I use XMLmind as recommended.
As I said before, a friend did the setup, where can I look up my version of Expose for the clean start?

Best regards,


Frank

XmlMind shows you errors in an XML-structure. Just open all xml files in /xml, change and delete your change again to make it possible to resave the files. Sometimes this does the trick.

If not ok, then remove the bad album tag. It's described in the manual heading 7.3.18 http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/expose/
