Hi,

I've used SIG a couple of times before and it has worked out well for me but I'm designing a site at the moment which has dark backgrounds with light coloured text. I don't know if this is the cause of my problem but SIG just doesn't look right.

Here is a link to where I am developing the site and one of the galleries www.fewerconsulting.com/AAEuro/index.php/gallery/n25-waterford-bypass-bridge

As you can see the top and left of the thumbnails has no edge around it and there is a big white bar going through each row (or big white box behind each thumb) and I would rather that it not be there. I have had a look at the CSS but I'm not following it well and I'm not sure what to change if anything.

The site is on Joomla 1.5.26 and the template was designed with Artisteer. Any help on making the gallery fit in with the colours of the site would be appreciated.

I had a look through the forum but couldn't find quite the same problem.

Thanks
K

I looked at the CSS and you can fix it by moving the plugin template folder to the site template folder and then edit the css:

Copy the "Polaroids" folder:
/plugins/content/jw_simpleImageGallery/jw_simpleImageGallery/tmpl/Polaroids
to
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/jw_simpleImageGallery/Polaroids

Edit this file:
/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/jw_simpleImageGallery/Polaroids/css/template.css

Change line 18 to:
Change line 22 to:
I haven't checked this in IE yet so I can't say the fix is 100% reliable.

I just looked at your site and this fix might work for you. But you can edit the css freely now that it's in your template folder.

Thanks Joomlakins.

I really appreciate you taking the time to look at the site and for the code to try and fix my issue.

I'm awaiting the feedback from the client on the template design so he may want to change a few things...or the whole template! So, as your suggestion involves the template folder, I'm going to wait for the feedback and try it once the template design is approved.

But I just wanted to say thanks in the meantime and I'll let you know if it works once I get to implement it.

Cheers  :)

Hi Joomlakins,

I implemented the code you suggested and it removed the white background. The white box around the thumbnails doesn't look right but you've shown me where and what to change so I'll work on it.

Incidentally I was looking at a the plugin and it had a couple of suggestions if there are display problems. One suggestion was that it is the template's fault. I set it back to Beez and the gallery displayed properly so it must be something to do with my template. If I can't figure it out I have your method to play around with so thanks again for your help.
