smughack: bulk zoom thumbnail (super deluxe version)

Thanks...I see the tool now...alhough it's not consistantly functioning at all, at times it won't even do anything after checking the 'Bulk zoom' checkbox. The screen shot below is during viewing 'all thumbs', I'm looking forward to when it's actually a part of the Pro tools. I also receive JS errors in FF and IE6 and 7...and it freezes during the process...attached are screen shots.
Attachment not found.

It takes a long time to process all thumbs, just have to wait it out.

In the BZT, when a user; i.e., me, forgets to turn on originals, you get a error message for each image in the gallery.



How about just one error message? Clicking o.k. 100 times was a bit much.

Or, perhaps the latest version has addressed this?

Tip: Set up a bulk custom gallery setting that has originals enabled and private set to yes. That way you can change your settings with just one click. It made it easier for me to remember too.

But maybe that's just me.

I read through about page 18 of this thread, then I just decided to jump in and try it...
Well, at first I didn't see the bulk zoom checkbox at all. I added some caveman debugging, and found that it wasn't getting passed the line that set "bulkSave" disabled. (I don't know what that's about - Firefox was saying No javascript errors.)

divTag = YD.get("photoTools");
alert("Adding bulkzoom 0");

//      YD.get("bulkSave").disabled = true;
//alert("Adding bulkzoom 1");

      objSpan = document.createElement("span");
alert("Adding bulkzoom 2");
      objSpan.className = "foreground";

alert("Adding bulkzoom 3");
      objButton = document.createElement("input");

Now that the checkbox appeared, I tried to check it. I got the ajax Loading... up in the upper left corner, and there it sits... I never see anything change after that.
What can I try next? (And any clues about why it wouldn't make it passed bulkSave?)

Thanks!

Hi dpcers needed some help

so I uploaded some new pictures last night and I noticed that my bulkzoom was not working so after doing some searching I found this thread and added the new bulkzoom text from the very first post here but now I have no bulkzoom or bulkzoom box showing next to "arrange mode" so that I can put a check in the box to see if it's working now.

digitalpins

ok just to clear my previous post up this is what I mean in the picture below I have no "bulk zoom option to check next to the "arrange mode".

Now am I doing something wrong or is something wrong in my code

It would help if you posted a link to the gallery that is giving you the problem. But from what little I can see, it looks like you may have hide owner set to yes and/or appearance set to smugmug in the gallery settings.

ok, I fixed your code. It appears that I forgot to update my code when smugmug reintroduced smugmug_small.

Nimai,

I fixed your code as well. You were missing the block of HTML code that goes your header or footer.

Man! Thank you! How embarrassing... I'm a professional computer programmer and an amateur photographer. You'd think I could get this techy stuff right!!
Much appreciated.

<edit>-=edit=-
Worked fine on page one of a gallery I tested it on. But on page 2 when I check the box, the bulk zoom thumbnails window appears in the upper left, but the thumbnails never re-load into the larger, blue-rectangle editing things. </edit>

I would switch the style to "all thumbs" first then you can get them all at
once. Be sure to turn originals on first.

Allen's all-thumb method is the fastest-- you can also manually zoom one thumb on page two or beyond, then the BZT will work on that page. Like I said, with 12 pages of photos, it's usually a lot faster to BZT in all thumbs

I'm glad I remembered this thread. Went back to start updating my site--a few months overdue--and the BZT hack wasn't working! :cry Checked here & saw that v2.5 handles the AJAX updates. Cool.

However, I have a couple of comments regarding this:

The limitations at this point in time are...

- supports "traditional", "all thumbs", "smugmug" and "smugmug small" styles
- gallery must be public.

For the first, at least on my site I cannot get the all thumbs style to work, I get the Loading div and the bulk zoom div to show, but none of the image divs come up. The smugmug style works, so less convenient, but it functions.

For the second, again at least on my site, this is not true. Since I prefer to prevent access to the originals, when using the BZT script, I set the gallery to allow originals, but be private. It works--at least in the smugmug style.

Edit: nevermined. I'm just too impatient. all thumbs is working--I just need to let it do it's thing.

OK, one more post. I think I discovered ths issues I've been experienceing. I also had the 1337box hack in my customizations. Apparently that one and this one don't play nice together, get rid of 1337box and BZT works smoothly.

Hi,
I'm a newbie so please be patient with me. I had posted a thread about my rows not lining up. Barb sent me to your post. I got very confused over all the "conversation from different people" concerning the topic... so I cried help. Andy told me to go back to your post and put the stuff in CSS and javascript. Now, I don't know what to do. I put that in the spots that I'm suppossed to.. but I'm not noticing anything different.
Please advice !!!

Felicia Lilley
P.S. The following is the email that I had sent to Andy concerning my problem. Hope it clarifies what I'm doing.
My site is www.LilleyPhotography.smugmug.com


OK... I have had this problem for quite a while now. I think it was Barb who said something about doing a snapshot of my screen.. but I don't know how to do that... and we lost contact. (i'm sure do to my own stupidity..haha) She said that my rows looked fine to her too.

I'll explain what I'm seeing. The problem is everywhere though. One example is at my homepage. You see my banner (that I created with smugmugs tutorial.. yea tutorial). under that is the navigation bar, then my bio box (which I want to work on, but ... first things first) Then you see my gallery catagories. What I'm seeing at this exact moment is.......

4 thumbnails going across in a straight line. Nederland Baseball, Clients, Events & Nederland football. Under that there are blank spaces directly under the first two thumbnails. Then there is picture galleries (in the third thumbnail spot) and pricing (which is in the 4th thumbnail spot)

Directly under that is blank spaces for the first 3 thumbnail spots. In the 4th spot is Lilley stuff.

Under that is Lumberton Football in the first thumbnail spot.

So, what I'm seeing is 4 thumbnails going from left to right... but the stuff that is going from top to bottom is just scattered everywhere. There have been times that it was correct... with 4 thumnails going across and 2 going top to bottom.

This same thing is showing up when you click on any of the catagories.. such as "Clients". All the catagories inside that are scattered just like the home page.

I hope that I've made sense. When I first got smugmug, there were 2 across and tons going down and you had to scroll alot.

What my goal is : (there is someone's homepage that is a family photo album..can't find it again) I like his having the banner at the top, a slideshow then his gallery catagories under that. I'm just confused at this point of what to put on the slideshow of my main page. My gallery catagory called "Picture Galleries" is going to serve as my online portfolio for different subjects. I was trying to get the information that shows on my homepage in the bio box to come up when you click on the "meet Lilley photography" in the navigation bar. I've done something and it's almost right ..... but it's still messed up.

I'm not sure of the slideshow on the homepage though. I was thinking of just having a large "welcome" something as big as the slideshow would be.. but just not moving. OHhhhhhhhh I don't know anymore. I've just gotten myself so confused at everthing these days. I had a list.. a plan when I started but..... it turned out to be harder than I thought. There are things in my navigation bar that don't even work... hahahhahahahaha. I'll get to that at some point. And...... my wish at the beginning was to have a "negative" on my homepage. Someone in the "ideas galleries" in the tutorial somewhere had that.

jchin

For me, using "Smugmug" view, I can only get this to work on page 1. On page 2, it brings up the box where you choose the ratio, but that is it.

Changing to the "All Thumbs" view as someone here suggested works, but because I have a lot of photos in one gallery, the browser seems to crash or just lock up on that gallery when I try to do the bulk thumbnail thingy.

Please help. Thanks.

BTW, I am using Firefox 2.0.

HI

See your other thread here:

I read through a lot of pages on this thread - but was curious for a summary - is there a fast code version of this bulk thumbnail utility? I can't believe it STILL isn't implemented directly into smugmug - it's perfect - albeit slow.

The header/footer.txt is also blank on the non-wiki webpage and the wiki webpage doesn't paste correctly - it removes all line breaks in IE and FF when pasting... (just FYI). I'm using the header table information in bigwebguy's website (AWESOME SITE BTW).

Just curious if the "exploits in FF" or such were resolved to a legal working manner to speed up the thumbnail cropping... I want to do it to all my photos, but there will be a lot (still customizing site right now and adding files overnight).


Cheers!!

Arrrrgggghhh!!!



Why is it that I can only get the BZT to work VERY occasionally? And usually not at all?

I've tried everything on this gallery, smugmug style, all thumbs, traditional, Safari, Firefox. I'm at my wits end. It works .05% of the time, and I can't figure out why!

saurora

I just installed the BZT all by myself and IT WORKED!!!! OMG!!!! :encore

Scott_Quier

Site: http://lovenlaughter.smugmug.com

I just attempted to install the BZT code found here

http://hacks.introversion.com.au/smugmug/bulkzoomthumbs/

It installed alright. But when I attempted to view a gallery, all I saw was my navbar.

I put the CSS at the bottom of my CSS section.

I put the js at the bottom of my js section.

And, to get the header/footer stuff, I opened the page on the above link, viewed the source and copied that to the bottom of my header section.

I Pushed the update button. Then I navigated to one of my galleries and nothing but the navbar was rendered.

Because my site is (supposed to be) working for me and available to my clients, I had to pull the code back out so that they (the clients) can see their photos.

What did I goof up? (At this time, I am so envious of Susan!)

Thanks (sitting on the sidelines, patiently waiting for response from the great people here).

I had bzt working, for the most part, anyhow. My biggest problem was that it would only zoom the first page of thumbnails, regardless of layout selected. (i.e. smugmug, traditional, etc..)

Tonight, however, bzt has stopped showing up as an option at all. I've checked the code and it seem sto be ok... any ideas?

My VERY in-progress site is marybethglasmann.smugmug.com

Rockporters

It started working again this morning. It still only works on the first page of thumbs. Any ideas?

I always switch to all thumbs view before using BZT so I can get all the
thumbs in the gallery. It will only do the ones seen on the page.

Rockporters

Hi Allen,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried all thumbs but can't seem to get bzt to work that way at all. Maybe, because there is no update to let you know if it's working when framing the pics, perhaps I'm being antsy and selecting save changes too quickly. I never end up getting the frames in all thumbs view so maybe that is it--I'll give patience a try and see if they eventually pop up.

After changing to 1x1 it takes awhile for all the thumbs to show. Then after
adjusting and hitting save it takes really a long time so just wait it out or
browse in another tab.

Rockporters

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to matter how long I wait, it never gets to the stage where it shows the framed thumbs for adjustment. Regardless of how many pictures are in the gallery. Any suggestions?

Hi Mary Beth,

I started looking at this last night, you had a few script errors, I have fixed 2 of 3.

I will try to fix the other soon.
