Possible Bug With Menus...

Greetings!
So, might have found a minor bug.

Again, my website is: https://danielcarda.net/photos/

The problem is at the very bottom of the menu. As you can see from the link, I have a lot of menu items. The menu is obviously to long for the screen size and goes off the bottom.

When you scoll down to the bottom of the menu, the options for the search, share, and volumn have been cut off.

Is there a switch I'm suppose to throw somewhere?

And yes, Laza suggested I try using the Bridge, but I have elected not to us it.

I did get the bridge working, but it only showed a subset of my pictures, and I could not figure out how it selected the pictures it was showing. Also, the menu was removed. Finally, I want to "wrap" the website under the umbrilla of of the domain, so embedding the website under the domain seemed like a more logical choice. Finally, I understand that the bridge would work better under mobile, but I don't really care about mobile so it's not a major consideration.

Anyway, thanks again for all the help!

I'm not seeing the icons for search, share, or volume anywhere, with or without any scrolling.

Even when I bust your album out of its iframe, I'm not seeing them.

At Projector > Sidebar > Navigation > Folder tree visibility, try changing to Only button.

This is precisely the kind of thing that's prone to getting screwed up when an album is crammed into an iframe. It's trying to use "window size," but because it's in an iframe, that may be returning the wrong value.

So, a little bit more information:

Even when I bust your album out of its iframe, I'm not seeing them.

I don't think this is being caused by the iFrame. Even when I'm in jAlbum, and I do a "Make Album", when it automatically brings up a browser to display the generated site the Search, Share, and volumn buttons don't show.

This is precisely the kind of thing that's prone to getting screwed up when an album is crammed into an iframe.

Okay, how should I be embedding? I'm always willing to learn something new!

Only Button worked, but (as the name would imply) removed the menu.

Depends on Window Size brings the menu back, but the buttsons are gone

Always show is the closest. The menu and the buttons are visiable. However, they menu is only 1/2 the height of the height of the browser window. (It resizes as the browser is resized.

Can I make a request to have the last one expand down to the bottom minus the room needed for the botton box? :-)

You should not be embedding. Period. Full stop. End of sentence.

Even the jAlbum Bridge doesn't embed the album on your WP page. It just puts up a little carousel of images on your WP page. When the visitor clicks on it, he's taken to the album, outside of WP entirely.

WP is a server-side content management system, which expects to be in control of everything that happens on the page. jAlbum is a client-side static web album creator, which expects to be in control of everything that happens on the page. These are mutually exclusive.

Okay, got it. I will adapt.

In any case, when I set the "Folder tree visibility" to "Always Show", the menu is only 1/2 of the browser height. Can that be changed to more like 80% or dynamically calculated to (browser height - button box)?

Thanks so much,

I'll have to leave that to Laza. His code is inscrutable.

Unfortunately, the structure of the elements does not allow dynamic height, because row- and column-oriented elements are mixed.
