Album Settings - Borders

outback · 2019-02-17 22:51:05

In the Album Settings > Thumbnail Grid > Gallery Style - Justified is it possible to have the borders larger than 24px. Also, have the top and bottom borders a different size ie; top and bottom 40px, sides 24px.

Use custom css.

This will affect all albums

.gallery figure {
        border-width: 40px 24px;
}

This will affect only albums using the same album template you’re using for this album

.album-template-id-29 .gallery figure {
        border-width: 40px 24px;
}

Excellent Rod...thanks

Rod...after reading through the documentation I am unable to find this in the album template that I wish to edit.

Advanced Customization ⇒ Custom Stylesheet ⇒ Enabled : On
Advanced Customization ⇒ Custom Stylesheet ⇒ Include File : file-name.css

I gather I need to upload the .css examples you supplied to backlight/custom/ccs

Thanks

The Advanced Settings are in the Page Template, not the Album Template

Yes, upload your custom css file to backlight/custom/css

Rod, I enabled both Advanced Customization's for the page template that contains the album and uploaded the .css file to backlight/custom/css.

I've cleared the cache and republished the two images, but there's no change to the size of the borders.

As you can gather coding is not one of my strong points. If you could tell me I might be going wrong it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

look in your border40.css file. You have bunch of ....stuff.. in it:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1561\cocoasubrtf600
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
{\*\expandedcolortbl;;}
\paperw11900\paperh16840\margl1440\margr1440\vieww10800\viewh8400\viewkind0
\pard\tx566\tx1133\tx1700\tx2267\tx2834\tx3401\tx3968\tx4535\tx5102\tx5669\tx6236\tx6803\pardirnatural\partightenfactor0

\f0\fs24 \cf0 .album-template-id-29 .gallery figure \{\
        border-width: 40px 24px;\
\}}

did you perhaps use a word processor to create the file? That's the only thing that I can think of that might add whatever all that is. Formatting?

anyway, be sure to use a plain text for any code files.

.album-template-id-29 .gallery figure {
        border-width: 40px 24px;
}

I used TextEdit ( Mac) and just typed in as per your sample...bit of a mystery that.

Anyway, will give it another shot...and hopefully no stuff-up's this time.

Thanks again for all your help.

I seem to remember something in the dim past about TextEdit..some issues with it....but I'm not a Mac user so that might have been a hallucination

If I recall, TextWrangler is a good, free text editor for Mac

outback · 2019-02-28 23:45:19

TextEdit was the problem. Formatted it in TextWrangler and now working OK....happy life.

Your book of choice CSS: The Missing Manual sounds like a good investment.

I learned a lot from it. And the exercises were very useful. And it was fun, in the "I like math" sort of way
