As I mentioned above, the Okapi version has a "Album Height" parameter. That is then used to set the height of the thumbnail. Then all of the albums are the same height, no matter the original size of the thumbnail..

Here is an example Okapi Album Set: http://pfredd.com/gallery/US_Travel/ and, again, here is the Pangolin version: http://pfredd.com/Test-P/album-set-1/

If that could be brought back, that could fix things.

I cant just override the Height value in Custom CSS because the HTML has a Width parameter as well, which changes depending on if the photo is Portrait or Landscape.

If anyone can think of a better way to handle this, please let me know.

I checked the Album template and the thumbnail sizes are the same as in the Album set: 168.

I republished, and now it has the longest side set to 168, which sort of makes sense. However it doesn't mimic the Okapi version...

If you look at: http://pfredd.com/Test-P/album-set-1/ you will see my issue.

I have both Thumbnail Width and Thumbnail Height set to 168 in the Album Set Template.

But if you look at the code generated by Backlight, the first Album ("Album 2") has the following:

<img src="./../../Test-P/album-set-1/album-2/thumbnails/P5304875.jpg" class="landscape" height="126" width="168" alt="Album 2" title="Album 2">

and the second album ("Ambum 1") has

<img src="./../../Test-P/album-set-1/album-1/thumbnails/P2035269.jpg" class="portrait" height="250" width="188" alt="Ambum 1" title="Ambum 1">

As you can see, neither thumbnail's height is capped at 168, and both Length and Height on "Ambum 1" are larger than 168.

On the Okapi version of this, it always restricts the height to 168, no matter if it's portrait or landscape..

Thanks!

I am confused Rod.

When you say "create an album", I assume you mean in Lightroom, correct?

If I do that, and don't select any photos, how do I get the photos uploaded so that they can be referenced by my copy text?

I could just FTP them up, but my goal is to be able to have Publisher do that for me.

Not a problem. I can continue to use CE4 until Theater supports a captioned slide show.

Thanks!

So is there a way, now or planned, that I can display a slide show that also displays the photo captions?

Thanks Rod, that did the trick!

Found it!

In loop.php, I changed:

<?php // the Content or the Excerpt? 
if ( 
	(is_home() && of_get_option('post_excerpts')) || 
	is_archive() || is_search() 
){ // post excerpt: ?> 

to

<?php // the Content or the Excerpt? 
if ( 
	(is_home() && of_get_option('post_excerpts') && !is_sticky() ) || 
	is_archive() || is_search() 
){ // post excerpt: ?>

Now, the sticky post(s) are expanded and all other posts are excerpted.

Thanks for the info on which files to look at Matt!

Ben, I hope I didn't come across as snarky.  I certainly didn't mean to.

Thank you for all of your hard work!

The weird thing is that I didn't have to change anything to fix the problem.

All I did was, in Lightroom, edit the album settings, then save. I didn't actually change anything, as all of the information  appeared correct.
