Hi,
i just did a major update of fast gallery, and then realized that I dont have folder thumbnails any longer. So I am wondering whether that's a bug or I did anything wrong with the settings, but I couldnt find any settings about folder thumbnails.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Secondly, the folder names are now cut off after the last dot. Apparently that is to cut off the file endings like ".jpg", which is not exactly helpful for folder names ;-) Would be great if you could fix that :)

Thanks a lot, fast gallery is imo the best gallery for drupal out there - so thanks for keeping up the good work!

Could you try the latest 5.5 Version. Checked it, but it seemed to work just fine.

Hello,
I did update to 5.5 some days ago, and both issues are still there.
1) Folders called "2010.06.15 - Birthday Party" are displayed as "2010.06" as the folder name is cut off at the last point.
2) And then there seems to be no way of using a thumbnail of a photo inside a folder as folder thumbnail.

Does anyone have the same problem (1) and does anyone know a way of getting the thumbnails (2)? Latter was possible some versions ago, wasnt it?!

Thanks again,
llkks

Hi llkks,

See patch at the FG cvs repository. The fix was commited to the dev branch.

Regards and thanks
Juan Carlos

PS
please give feedback after testing.

Previous versions allowed you to either create a "folder.jpg" within a gallery folders to control what thumbnail was displayed OR, it would use a picture within as the folder thumbnail (depending on how things were sorted).

I took advantage of both methods, but in this latest version the latter method doesn't work, it requires a folder.jpg in a folder to display a thumbnail for it. So some of the folders defaulted to a picture of a folder.

I tried applying the patch above to FGImage.class.php but this didn't appear to fix either issue noted above.

Granted, I just updated from 6.x-4.0-beta7 to 6.x-5.5 so I don't know when it actually changed.

I fixed the overlapping text with this in my theme's overriding css:

.fast-gallery-image span {
  word-wrap: break-word;
}

If you have long file names you can also heighten the div class a bit with this:

.fast-gallery-image {
  height: 170px;
}

The dev version (2010-Nov-27) does not fix the thumbnail problem. Would be great to have this working again.
