After renaming my pages, I have it up and running.
Yes, your wiki titles now look much more readable. However, I did notice
this page:
http://www.peacham.com/ccla/Wiki.jsp?page=AlbInstallation_3-The%20Reception
with the title "Album Installation 3- The Reception"
I was surprised by the space inserted after the hyphen until I realised
that you have capitalised the letter T. My own photo collection naming
convention would have used a lower-case t, but I don't think a title of
"Album Installation 3-the Reception" is better than the one you have! I
guess choosing folder names is a bit of an art form!
I don't think we will ever come up with a "perfect" algorithm, so I am
inclined to leave things alone at the moment unless you have an
appropriate and elegant insight...
I will need to do some more work to implement the template feature, but the
page headings look fine.
What do you mean by "the template feature"? My choice of css elements to
lay out the photos is VERY simplistic because my priority was to get
something working that didn't look stupid. I know it could be a lot more
elegant but lack the skills to do it quickly. If you can help I would be
very grateful.
The html elements are built at run-time from hard-coded fragments in the
plugin, e.g.
<div class="photobox">
<div class="photo">
<div class="photoimage">
<a href="alb/installation/3-The Reception/P2104091.jpg"/>
<img class="smallphoto" src="alb/installation/3-The
Reception/thumbs/P2104091_t.jpg" alt="Click to enlarge this image"/>
</a>
</div>
<br/>
<div class="photocaption">
<p>
<a class="createpage" href="/ccla/Edit.jsp?page=AlbInstallation_3-The
ReceptionP2104091.jpg&_editedtext=[{INSERT PhotoCollectionPlugin
photodir='installation/3-The Reception/P2104091.jpg'}]" title="Create
"Album Installation 3-The Reception P2104091.jpg"">Album
Installation 3-The Reception P2104091.jpg
</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="photo">
etc...
My extra style definitions are held in the
templates/photoCollection/jspwiki.css file, so it is easy for you to
experiment with enhancements.
I would like to use fly-over notes similar to when you hover your mouse
over the more tab or the search box. I would also like to improve the
ugly box borders, but my early experiments failed. I think it is
essential for the layout to flow properly when the browser window is
resized and I couldn't achieve this easily.
I hope you can help!
Thanks for your testing and feedback.
