We had a user ask a question regarding some customization. DM Albums™ previously allowed for adjusting thumbnail height, but that has been removed for this release. This is pretty easy to adjust, though, and I thought I’d share the instructions:

Thumbnail size:
In javascript/galleria.php, change line 26 to have whatever size you want:

    $size_thumb = "&width=60&height=40";

But changing the thumbnail height will screw up the positioning of the caption, so you’ll need to change the bottom: value in galleria/themes/classic/galleria.classics.css

    .galleria-info {
    width: 100%;
    bottom: 60px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 2;
    position: absolute;
}

This will place the caption at the right height. You’ll have to mess around with this a little, but whatever the height is of the thumbs plus 20 should do it.

Caption font size:
In the same file, you can also adjust the font of the caption:

.galleria-caption{
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    bottom: 0px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    text-align: center;
    background: #000000;
    color: #dddddd;
    font: 11px helvetica,sans-serif !important;
    font-weight: normal !important;
    opacity: 0.5;
    z-index: 1;
    filter: alpha(opacity=50);
}

Permanent Navigation Hints
As for making the image navigation hints permanent, just add the following line after the idleTime: 2000 line at line 76 of javascript/galleria.php:

idleMode: false,

   Hi,

   Since the last update to DM Album version 3.1.2. I only see [Slideshow] and [Fullscreen] but no more pictures.

   Can you tell me how I get my pictures back.

   By the way. I have in the most post on my blog Google Maps at the end of every post.
   Before this update 3.2.1. the Google Maps in my post where not visible anymore (after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1.). After the update > 3.2.1. they showed up again?

   Another question:
   Is there a simple way to install galleria as plugin in WordPress?

   Thanks in advance for your answer to my problem/question.

   Kinds regards,

   Jos Saris

   First of all, thank you for this plugin! It works “stock” for me, but I have been banging my head trying to get this plugin to change the auto-calculated height of the galleria-container element. No css changes (i’ve tried tons of combinations, anything I can think of) change make this happen.

   All I want to do is make the thumbnails larger (I did this, but the provided instructions were not enough, it took more css editing), move them down a bit, so that I can then move the caption overlay to between the thumbnails and image. I can do all that… BUT the problem is that the height of the galleria-container selector css is over-written by the javascript calculation, so changing it in the css doesn’t have any effect. The result is that the container doesn’t expand to allow the larger thumbnails that are now moved down on the page to show, because they are cut off by the ending of the container element.

   Is there any way to change the way the height of the galleria-container is calculated in galleria-1.2.6.js so that we can control the height of the galleria container with css if desired?

   Any other solutions/help/suggestions for this would be appreciated. I don’t know php but do know CSS well enough to get myself into this kind of trouble.

   Thanks-
   -Seth

   Hi,
   I have installed your plugin and think it’s great…however, having followed your instructions on how to change the thumbnail sizes, they are not resizing on the page here: http://www.theeventbooth.co.uk/test2/
   (Please excuse the embarassing pictures…) Do you know where I’m going wrong?
   Thanks,
   Martin

   An intriguing discussion is definitely worth comment.
   I believe that you need to write more about this topic,
   it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don’t speak about these issues. To the next! Kind regards!!

   I am really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog.
   Is this a paid theme or did you customize it yourself?
   Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see
   a great blog like this one these days.
