Arrows not showing in the right place with Marinelli theme

I am having the same issue,
the gallery works great. but the style needs to be adjusted, i will submit a patch once i find the issue.
if someone else could shed some light on this. i would much appreciate it!

Thank you!

That looks veeery weird asermartinez.

There must be some CSS rules from the theme affecting the arrows. I suggest opening up firebug and try to find out what's going on there.

Unfortunatly I'm in the middle of the final stage of a huge project, and we are against the clock. I hopefuly will have more time in a couple of weeks to give some love to the 7.x branch. I plan on working hard on the module and have a stable release soon for D7.

Until then perhaps you guys can help eachother out?

here is a way of fixing this:

now...i will say, i have only tested this with the marinelli theme and the browsers listed below:

Firefox 3.5.16
Chrome 7.0.517
IE - 8
IE - 7 (with ie tester)
Opera 11.0

so...dont quote me on it working :-)

go to the greenarrow.css.

line 80.....

it should look like this:

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs .forward {
  background-position: 0px 0;
  right: 0;

it needs to look like this:

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs .forward {
  background-position: 0px 0;
  /*right: 0;*/ 
  position:absolute;
  margin-left:582px;
}

now....line 87.....

should look like this:

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs .back {
 background-position: -4px -102px;
 left: 0;

needs to look like this:

.galleryformatter-greenarrows .gallery-thumbs .back {
  background-position: -4px -102px;
  /*left: 0;*/
  position:absolute;
}

here is a patch version of my fix.

please continue to test it.
if you have the ability to, try it with other themes.

i will as well.

i figured this would not be a fix for any other theme, because i am using absolute positioning....
i will try to come up with a more elegant solution.

** I think this applies here as well (where I meant to post it!) ahaha

We could leverage more horsepower out of the drupal_add_css function with the attached patch (sorry, new to GIT... much work to learn proper output settings/etc :) )

1) Renders the default galleryformatter.css as low as possible (things like context and filter seem to take precedence) but the code does make the galleryformatter sink way below system CSS and such. The CSS import is placed quite a number of lines down towards </head>

2) A custom style setting causes the style css, like greenarrows.css, or silverarrows.css to be the last css file to run even after the theme files so it makes it much less likely that anything above it will be causing a confilct, and if it is, it will be a lot easier to find.

The code in the patch makes the custom style css be the last file in the code :)

And it can still be available for core aggregation and other core functions.

good thinking!
looks pretty good. i will do an official review tonight...

Thanks!!

I had the same issue. I investigated and found out that the theme overrides the following properties that can be reverted with the following CSS to make it correctly formatted:

.galleryformatter .arrow {
  border-width: 0;
  top: auto;
  left: auto;
}

I can tell you guys that pushing our css files to the end is not something I'm willing to do, it would be very hacky, and make themers very angry, with a good reason.

Thanks though for the efforts on this issue, I've reviewed them and have come up with a patch that hopefuly solves these problems. Please do test on as many themes as you can specialy those that you know cause trouble with the gallery.

I agree that it is a very hacky solution, but it is (was?) the only solution that has kept me up and running :-)

i will test in my sandbox tonight.

Thanks!!

There was code committed that included some of these fixes a bit ago, can you guys check if this stil happens in the latest dev?

@Manuel,

Seems to be working for me!

Thanks!

great mheinke, thanks for reporting back =)

I saw that you were able to work through the issue with the gallery formatter displaying the navigation arrows wrong. I am having a similar issue. No navigation arrows at all, just java scroll navigation.

Do you know how I can fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is a screenie.

Sorry, how do I apply the patch 15?
Just copy it?
Where?

@lucamanu the patch is already in the latest version, no need to apply it. Just upgrade to version 7.x-1.1 or later.

Sorry Manuel Garcia, but I don't see this patch in the last version of Gallery formatter...

As it seems the problem is caused by a CSS conflict between the themes and the Gallery Formatter module. The variable “arrow” is used by the themes and the module. To solve the problem properly one can change the variable of the Gallery Formatter. For details:

wow this is an old issue :)

haha, i barely remember debugging this

Well, how can it be an old issue, if the problem is still included in the theme offered for download?

i just downloaded the latest dev and do not have an issue.

is there another module/style conflict?

Hello, I'm on galleryformatter-7.x-1.3 and I still see the issue. When I have manually applyed patch galleryformatter-1031180.patch, it displays arrows correctly.

thanks for confirming @jhutar2
I don't see the patch in the current release either...

I'm closing it because the issue was created a long time ago without any further steps.

if you still need it then raise a new one.
thanks
