Re: Album Columns limited to 4 ?

Using CE3 Auto index I was able to construct a home page for my site with a tightly packed grid of images with titles below.

How can I achieve a similar layout with CE4?

Re: Album Columns limited to 4 ?

When I revisited CE3, I found that the math didn't always work the way it was supposed to. To eliminate circumstances under which breakage would occur, I had to scale back the number of columns to more manageable numbers.

Is there no way that you could include the "iconic-captioned" gallery style?  Having just spent $85 upgrading to CE4 I'm disappointed to discover that the functionality has been reduced.

Re: Album Columns limited to 4 ?

It exists, but is implemented differently, and more intuitively I think. You just need to not be looking for the old UI options. For example, see my own site:
http://campagnapictures.com/galleries.php

For how to get it done, see this:
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … uts#iconic

Basically, choose "Iconic", then set "Overlay Album Info" to No.

And with the new, easier management of custom thumbnails via publisher, I think you'll find it all much easier to manage than before.
