About the comments: they are a bit hidden with Bootstrap Darkroom.

In order to see (or make) a comment, the user has to click on the picture, then click on the 'Picture details' icon, then on the comment tab.

Is there a better way to make comments more accessible and visible ?

Thanks

Hello,

I noticed that with user comments, a connecttion is automatically made to gravatar to try to download an avatar.
Is it possible to deactivate this feature in order to have an independent website ?

Thanks

That should be done in the parent theme, I guess. Maybe I'll add it to darkroom at some point if that doesn't happen.

Ok I'll make a request on the parent theme.

Don't link thumbnails to PhotoSwipe, and/or set picture info display to "sidebar". :)

Indeed with "Link thumbnails to PhotoSwipe (mobile devices only)", it is a bit more useable on desktop browser.
However I have to use PhotoSwipe on mobile devices, because on small device (iPhone 5s for instance), the layout is otherwise not so nice :


Especially the navigation symbols at the top are a bit too big and not correctly layed out.

Anyway thanks for your help !

Oh that looks bad, indeed. I fixed this in git: [Github] piwigo-bootstrap-darkroom commit e3ea5687

Anyways, I'm thinking of implementing something like a "comments first" configuration option for the picture page.

Thanks for the fix !
The "comments first" configuration option would be nice indeed.
Another useful feature would be to go to Photoswipe mode when we click/push on the main picture on the picture page.
(especially useful for Ipad which are detected as Desktop because they have a high resolution).

Using Photoswipe, I also noticed that it avoids the user logging completely (in administration/tools/history/search). So it is not possible to check which picture the user has seen.

Cheers !

That works with a double-tap :)
iPads are recognized as a mobile device, actually (at least my iPad Air is) - the detection is not dependent on resolution, see [Github] Piwigo file include/mdetect.php

Ah ! I didn't thought of double tapping it !
I used the mobile emulation of Firefox to test for IPad. I guess I should use a more sophisticated approach.

Unfortunately, there is no fix for this as PhotoSwipe itself is pure client-side javascript, and there is no Webservice API function to increase hit counts.

Yes, that's unfortunate.

Thanks for the hints !

Hi Rainer,

you mean the fullscreen slideshow (aka PhotoSwipe)? That one does support only those videos that got uploaded to the gallery directly (not embedded from other sites)

Hi daareek,

personally I do not own any 4k+ devices yet. If you or someone else wants to add it, take a look at http://benwhitehead.github.io/bootstrap-big-grid/. Pull requests welcome.

No idea about that viewport scaling bug. I don't see this behaviour in Safari, Chrome or Firefox.
PS: are you using gdThumb or GThumb+ plugin there?

Hm, that project seems dead anyway. Last version is based on bootstrap 3.3.2 which is _really_ old.

I might have a different solution for you.
a) install gdThumb or GThumb+ plugin
b) go to Administration -> Themes -> Bootstrap Darkroom settings -> Bootstrap Default tab -> Custom CSS
and have some play with this:

@media (min-width: 1800px) {
  .container {
    width: 1600px;
  }
}
@media (min-width: 3000px) {
    .container {
    width: 2800px;
  }
}

I have _no_ idea how it will look like, but I guess it will make more use of your screen. Adjust the values to your liking. If thumbnails are too small, try adjusting the thumbnail max height in Administration -> Plugins -> GThumb+ settings.
