The Media Gallery and DA2017 pages look much better James. I like how you
swapped the carousel for the photo albums in the event pages.
You should post a picture of the old site and new site side by side. The new
one is light years better than the old page.

Ok, made a few fixes and notes:
1) Media Gallery - use a carousel there to slide through all of the images for
preview, and after some discussion
with Chris, we decided to put the link for the actual pictures in a separate
post, you will see that highlighted in red
text and then when you click on it, it will take you to the photo-album
2) Photo Album - the Ghozy Labs media gallery plugin works best for large
images if you use the default Gallery,
I did try the FotoRama, which is really nice, but doesn't give you the link to
download, doesn't show full screen option,
and would cause scaling issues (and cropping). So I went with the default
gallery and set the page stops to 9 entries
per album page to speed up loading, I also added the Lightbox style - code
would be:
[easymedia-gallery med="240" style="light" pag="9"]
Where "med" is the gallery you created and pag=9 means show 3 rows of 3 images
each
3) Loading and gallery weirdness you found - there is a "show gallery option"
which I just turned off because as you found, it will concatenate galleries
together and it's like WTF - which gallery is this??? - maybe good in some
cases,
not for us - fixed
The other issue was that the Ajax load was causing problems (twirling forever)
and that was fixed by updating the JS version
to 1.8.7
Finally, the TimThumb plugin, while great,you don't want it scaling without
preserving the aspect ratios!!! This caused load failure for large (2K and
above) images since cropping and scaling without preserving
aspect was just wrong.
So last items to fix are :
- Menu option still black in iPhone mode - sent email and got some stuff to try
(later)
- ARCHIVES - this is silly and should say "Recent Posts" but that is a
Wordpress feature by default I would have to turn off with CSS, will try later
Thanks for all the great feedback and input, let me know what you think ...
should be snappy and consistent now.

This is better, but there are still a few quirks.
Somehow all of the separate galleries on the Media Galleries page have been
merged into one set of photos when you actually open one of the galleries and
are viewing the photos in the viewer. For example, the Dairy Aire 2017 gallery
contains
15 photos. But if you open the gallery (or any of the other galleries), the
viewer shows that the gallery contains 82 photos. I think 82 is the combined
total of all the photos in all of the galleries. If you are on the 10th photo
of the DA2017 gallery the
number displayed is 10/82, not 10/15 like you would expect. If you click
forward to the last photo, it shows 15/82, and when you click forward one more
time, you see the first photo of the next gallery, the cleaning party, and the
number displayed is 16/82.
Keep clicking forward, and you eventually move through all the photos of all
the galleries.
One more quirk. If you navigate through the archives to the Dairy Air 2017
post, you will be on this page
http://tccrockets.com/v2/dairy-aire-2017/ , and you will see the carousel for ;
the gallery on that page. When you click on a picture in that carousel, what
you expect to see is the gallery
viewer pop-up window, and you expect to still be on the this page
http://tccrockets.com/v2/dairy-aire-2017/ . Sometimes it works that way, and ;
sometimes it doesn’t. It seems like of you
open the page and quickly click on a picture before the carousel has a chance
to scroll, you don’t get the viewer pop-up. Instead, you get a new page with
that one picture displayed, like this
http://tccrockets.com/v2/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/33970347694_199128b3b7_o.jpg
.
You have to click “back” to return to the archive page. But if you open the
archive page and you either click on one of the scroll buttons on the carousel,
or you wait for the carousel to automatically scroll, then when you click a
picture, it displays in
the pop-up viewer, like it should. it works this way for all the archives with
a gallery, not just the Dairy Aire 2017 page.
Good luck!

I made a few mods to the CSS, but it still shows up Black. Whats odd is that if
you hover over it, you
should see Red and that does not work either. I sent email to FlyThemes and
will keep you posted on this fix
(it seems a CSS element is not tagged with the right foreground color).

One more thing. On Safari if you click on Menu the drop down menu items are all
black. You can only see the text by clicking on the items.

Very cool Chris!
Ok, all I had to do was add the new tag to the media page:
[easymedia-carousel med="240"][easymedia-carousel med="174"]
That shows DA 2017 and Cleaning party (174).
Check it out - it looks Awesome!

I'm not sure why but if you go to the archives on the right hand side and then
click May 2017 there's a post for Cleaning Party and then one for Dairy Aire
2017. Maybe it's not sending it to the main Media Gallery page.

Hi Folks,
For those of you who haven't signed up yet, please do.
Also, as I discussed on Saturday, anyone who is registered can make a media
gallery.
You click on the media gallery page and create your own gallery, then when it's
ready
send me email and I will post it on the gallery page.
http://tccrockets.com/v2/media-gallery/
Here is a howto to use the Easy Media Gallery (we have the Pro version).
Note that if you use full-size images, it can take a while to load.
