Unfortunately Underdog's gallery mod is not available as his site is now down. Does anyone have it they can send me?

Thanks!

I was hoping to find a vertical scrolling gallery block.... it sounded like that is what Underdog's code was. I tried using the SCROLLING code around here somewhere with a number of the gallery codes around here but nothing has worked thus far.

I tried one a while back but deleted it ... I just checked, and the one Im using now is the standard gallery block in SP.

There are two versions of Aeva Media block available.

One I use which is static and shows images at Random

OR

One which scrolls which is used by the folks at Pixel Mansion.

As an FYI Underdog has had a few problems with his hosts ( who doesn't).

Um... where do I find the scrolling one?

This works... it was posted on Simple Portal but from ...another place.

I tested an original copy and it works.

What would be PERFECT if it worked right. Unfortunately it scrolls 2 or 3 images down... then resets and SNAPS back to the top and scrolls down 2 or 3 images then SNAPS BACK to the top.

EDIT: Nevermind... it's now working... strange.

Anyway... stupid question time...

Does including "scrollers" like this slow down a server/browser/anything?

I ask because I have two other scrolling blocks.

EDIT: THANKS by the way ... I appreciate the help!

Depends on your hosting account quality.

When I use too many things the server starts to restrict scripts so the site slows down. Worst case is when it cuts them off and the site goes down. Sometime I get a message from SMF at similar times saying it couldnt connect to the database.

So try it and see - if your site goes too slow or uses too many resources and stops ... cut back.
Never good to have too much running I think. And these days people using smart phones so could impact them too.

Between you and I...

... I don't care about smart phone users.

Forums are for computers.

But yeah... I get your drift.

Well now poo...

I just updated to the 2.x version of Aeva media...

...now my static block shows a scroll bar... the reason? The 2.x version includes a pop up when you hover over the name of the file... that pop up is being seen as part of the block so it adds a scroll bar because the block isn't long enough by the size of the pop up...

Any way to disable the pop up so it doesn't create a scroll bar...

I noticed it does the same thing for the scrolling block too... but after a second or so the scroll bar goes away.

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #91 on:** May 23, 2012, 03:47:48 PM »

Welp,

I just tried every block code in this thread and they ALL do it... vertical or horizontal.

I am attaching two photos to show what is happening.

The 2nd photo shows the POPUP box that appears... it is blank normally until you hover over an image.

andy · « **Reply #92 on:** May 24, 2012, 02:42:35 AM »

On my site the scroll bars disappear once it starts moving.

You have to also remember that aeva media is technically obsolete. It is not being updated.
I guess eventually someone will build a new gallery when smf 3.0 comes out in, well, maybe 2 years, maybe less.

Maybe Menalto gallery 3 will be integrated/bridged - it is much better.

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #93 on:** May 24, 2012, 11:45:29 AM »

I've asked this question before but managed a work-around without having to get the answer.

Can someone please post the code to set a block a SPECIFIC length. I could fix this issue by simply forcing the block to be 50px or so larger than it is by default. There has GOT to be a way to set blocks a specific length... right?

Any/all help is appreciated.

movedgoalposts · « **Reply #94 on:** May 24, 2012, 01:37:34 PM »

can you set the block size with the height style i.e wrap your block with something like

Code: [Select]

<div style="height: 100px;">
blocky stuff goes here
</div>

FrizzleFried · « **Reply #95 on:** May 24, 2012, 02:06:51 PM »

That works for an HTML block... but these are PHP blocks... is there a PHP equivalent?

FrizzleFried,

While using php, just echo the necessary html.

ie. same as example above

Code: [Select]

echo '<div style="height: 100px;">
block content goes here
</div>';

Wonder has anyone used any other media manager since this one does not work on 2.0.7 tried and it fails install.

Thanks

Old Fossil · « **Reply #98 on:** April 21, 2014, 07:54:51 PM »

Are you talking about the portal block or the aeva media mod itself?

USFA · « **Reply #99 on:** April 21, 2014, 09:21:13 PM »

Hi there,
I am able to adapt most items to the portal, but would like to be able to use the
aeva media mod or any other mod that would show media in a forum like this one..
