IE and Thumbnail problem was created by fritz5150
I am having an issue with the SIG PRO version. I have it loaded at www.ktmxfm.com and the galleries won't display in Internet Explorer. At first I was getting the DOM error where one script would finish before the other, and IE would crash. I tried using some of the other image engines, and that problem went away. However, now IE will try to load one of the galleries, then just quit. Firefox will slowly load everything on the gallery page.
Has anyone had any luck getting this to function correctly under Internet Explorer?
I really need some serious help with this.

Thanks,

Well it's spotty.  I had a lot of trouble getting the thing to work in both IE and Firefox (often it'd work in one and not the other).  Finally I got it to work on both with the Lytebox popup engine but now the thumbnails don't work.

I think there are many different variables at play that effect whether the slideshow will work in any given browser.  Maybe the programmers simply cannot control for all this and that's why you see so many posts in this forum from frustrated users.  I think your best bet is to carefully read through these forums and try different things, then try different combinations of different things.  Eventually you may hit upon something that works for your particular joomla site on your particular server.  Is it a permissions problem? Is it that you need to fix one little piece of code in the jwsig_pro.php file?  Who knows? 
Just know that it is possible to get it to work.

It's very tedious work for someone (like me) who's not a programmer but you'll learn a lot in the process!

good luck!

I've got SIGPro working across all common browsers and platforms (Mac and Windows) as part of my investigations into which gallery tool is best to use for a site I'm developing.
It's been rather an uphill struggle though, the sparse documentation doesn't help.

I did try editing the CSS in an attempt to get the thumbnails to display more evenly when they are disparate sizes, but doing so I ran into major cross-browser problems and had to revert to the default CSS file again. So I guess the developers have tried to cover all browser bases in their coding - and managed it pretty well.

Fritz, I took a look at your site and couldn't get the galleries to load in any browser.

I think overall I'll use SIGPro in certain instances, small galleries within articles for instance, but in general I'm leaning towards Gallery2 for the bulk of my gallery content.

You can see SIGPro in action on my development site here . Try it in different browsers and you'll see it works fine - IE6, IE7, Google Chrome, Firefox, and on Macs too.

Hi my friends!

There are times where the css of sig pro has conflicts with the css of the site.

Can you please give me a direct link to the gallery to check out the issue?

Thank you!
