Theme image not showing in the album
Posted: 14 Jun 24, 20:52
 
Hi, I have been using this product 4 times a year for the past 8? years and am certainly a newbie. I use the Tiger skin, and in the past it always loaded my theme image at the top of the album. I did update the skin. Now it is putting the name of the album and dates 6/7-6/14 with a black background on the top. Main problem with that is that the event was 6/6. And, to be consistent, I would like this to look like my other event photo pages. It does show the theme photo on the bottom right. I'm sure there is probably a simple solution, but searched and couldn't figure it out.

If anyone could help here, would be much appreciated.

Kathy

You've told Tiger not to use a theme images, so that's what it's doing. See the theme.png screenshot. Choose Album thumbnail, instead.

The dates are picking up the range of camera dates in the images in the folder. See the dates.png screenshot. If you want it to ignore those, and just use a fixed date, you could choose to display just the title and description (see the dates2.png screenshot), then enter your own fixed Album description under Settings > General of 6/6/24.

OK, I think I figured it out. I used the B&W under settings, and it put the theme pic on top,and I found where to get rid of it showing the date range. While it's not exactly like my other ones, it's very nice. Thanks for looking into it for me!

I think I'm having a similar issue and once again, try as I might, I can't figure it out.

I use "Folder Thumbnail" for Site/Hero/background image because I like the image at the top to change to images in the respective folders.

But, I can't figure out how to have a similar wide header image for the project itself and it's driving me to drink far too many Dos Equis. (smile) Here's the stuff you probably want.

Thanks for your time, Jeff.

Add the image you'd like to use to the top-level folder, drag and drop to the right panel's "Theme image" area, then right-click -> Exlude. Do not remove the image! Adding it as "background image" won't help either.

After Make album check the local preview with F12, then use jAlbum's Upload functionality.

Once again you've come to the rescue Jeff and you have my sincere thanks for cluing me in.

The funny thing is, the reason I couldn't make it happen is because I simply could not get the top level folder to show the thumbnails..i.e., I couldn't click on the folder name as I do with all the subfolders and it wasn't until tonight after reading your reply, that I thought to click on the top level ICON to the left of the name!

From there it was smooth sailin' and now I have my top image..no..my top level folder THEME image (smile) and it's unique as are all the other folders which is perzactly what I wanted and thanks again, Oh Great and Wise Tiger Wizard. <bigger smile>

So I'm wondering, (and this may be for the JA gurus vice Tiger types and no disrespect intended,) but is there a reason the user can't click on the top level folder name to bring up the screen of tn's in that folder? If there is, roger that but if not, maybe that's something for the Suggestion Box?

Thanks again, amigo..

I don't see why you cannot click the top-level folder - i.e. the album name.

By the way, it's Jeff who came to my rescue. :) Being the skin's author it's my job to give support. Jeff is so kind that he helps users of other skins too.

I'm not the LEAST surprised Laza, Jeff's a super mod and has helped me solve problems every time I've been stumped. I'd keep him on the payroll. (smile)
