Image in About page broken after upgrading to Story 7.1

After upgrading to Story skin 7.1, the image in the about page is broken.
Previous to 7.1, the image in the about page was circular. See attached screenshot.
With no other changes, just upgrading the skin in the jAlbum application, the image in the about page looses styling. Again - see the attached screenshot.
I have tried re creating a new about page, after the upgrade, but the result is unchanged.
I can not see any setting for the about page which might control the styling.
This is happening initially on jAlbum 37.7.3. But I have upgraded to the latest 38 to see if that resolves the issue, but it doesn't.
Can anyone advise on how to resolve this?
Thanks

Thanks for replying Laza.
Is there anything I can do before the next release, even if it's just a manual hack in the html output, so that I can generate and publish my website? I was trying to work out what the issue with the html was so I could do that. But I couldn't spot what had changed - a missing class etc.
Thanks again.

Can you please update that about page?
Method 1:
Remove and recreate the page (New page -> About.htt)
Method 2:
Use the Tools -> External tools -> Update project templates
(For me the About page template works just like before. Perhaps your HTT file was made with and older version, and the CSS references got lost.)

I just tried a new Story project, from a "cold start," added an About page, and gave it an image. Circular, as expected (screenshot). So I suspect the poster needs to remove and re-add the About page.

Remember, method two, the tool is not bundled and skips linked files. It is intended for copies of templates only. |

Yes, that’s it. Last edit ‘ Edited by: RobM on 25 Apr 2025, 10:25
Groovy version updated by Laza to skip linked files, should the tool be run on templates added post jAlbum 20.2’ |

Thanks for the replies.
Lazza re your work around "Method 1: Remove and recreate the page (New page -> About.htt)". As I said in my original post - I had tried this. And I have tried this again. But creating a new About.htt page is not resolving the issue.
Re the second work around: " Tools -> External tools -> Update project templates". See the attached screenshot of the menus. I do not have an "Update project templates" option in that menu. Is it something else? Is it in a different location? I have tried "Tools -> Skin Developer -> Reload Skin". But this hasn't fixed it.
Jeff - thanks for testing this with a new clean project. I haven't done that. But I don't want to be in a situation where I have to recreate the project when there are updates. This should work without having to do that, shouldn't it? But I guess it does mean the issue is with the upgrade somewhere, not with a clean project.
I'm not sure I understand the comments re bundling.

Thanks Rob
Your post includes a Groovy script - which I guess is what your suggesting I run?
But the link in your post on how to run the Groovy script is broken. This link:
http://robm.jalbum.net/External%20Tools%20for%20jAlbum/index.html
Can I clarify: Are you saying there is an issue when upgrading that I need to run this Groovy script to resolve?
If the answer is yes, can you provide the correct link to the instructions on how to do so?
Thanks |

Laza: the About image displays correctly when viewed as a separate page, but when it's embedded in the main page, it's formatted incorrectly.
ETA: malcyl, you can't fix this, so just hang loose until Laza provides the fix.

The link to my external tools instruction album is https://robm.jalbum.net/External%20Tools%20and%20plugins%20for%20jAlbum/
No, you don’t need to run this external tool, it won’t fix anything and even so would only work if you have changed the template from a link (curved arrow bottom left of thumbnail) to a copy. The tool was made for projects using jAlbum 20 or earlier, when templates were all copies of the skin templates. |

OK, thanks Rob.
I didn't understand your original post in this thread, and when your second post said "see my first post", I did follow the link to your post here: https://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=52475&tstart=0
And the link on that page is broken.
Fortunately, Jeff has managed to reproduce the problem I reported.
I hadn't reported in my original post that the About page on my site is embedded. One of the features of the Story skin. Jeff's testing to reproduce the issue has shown that, while a stand alone About page works, an embedded About page is broken by the upgrade to 7.1.
So, kudos to Jeff, and hopefully I won't need the link to the instructions now.
Thanks again. |
