Profile Photos - Found a bug of sorts ...

.

Knowing how much everyone enoys to read my large posts (hah), please bear with me on this.

Referring to this screenshot from awhile back ...

.

I've found numerous questions about the misalignment of profile photos and the few answers that I could find always referred to making the page widths larger from within the admin section. However, that is not REALLY a solution if A. The images aren't too large to begin with, or B. Making the page width even smaller is not an option for the site setup.

I've also run across some questions about single profile images showing up in a flash slideshow or having a single images flash if it's the only image that's been uploaded to the profile. So, thinking that I would personally not like to have a single image flash for any reason as that would be quite distracting to me .... I went into the admin panel, settings, advanced settings, and UNCHECKED the New Gallery Feature for Profile Photos.

.

Well, it wasn't until later in the day that I noticed in my test account that the profile misalignment issue was now resolved. Since I'd been working on other files and .css during that time I couldn't be certain what caused the fix. So, backtracking my steps and going over everything that I'd been working on with a fine tooth comb it ultimately boiled down to what I wrote in the previous praragraph.

.

I then tested this "weird misalignment phenomena" with IE7 as well as FF3 by checking this new gallery feature tick again - with the result being that all of the uploaded profile images were totally out of whack again. Unchecked that setting, and bingo, everything looked pretty decent immediately. As far as I'm concerned, that has to be a bug of sorts unless this never happens when pages are a little wider?

.

Our community pages have a width of 857 px which is not exactly small and we're "forced" to use the two column 50% width because when/if couples sign up with a couples profile then you end up with two profile galleries that are next to each other, centered on the page. But if one of the columns was say 35% and the second column say 65% in widths, then the couple view would end up looking completely out of proportion. The only alternative would be to dump the couple pictures into one single gallery or to remove the option of being able to sign up with a couples account. Suggestion: Perhaps that New Gallery Feature for Profiles tick/feature should just be removed altogether as that would prevent that particular misalignment issue from coming up again?

Greetings from Germany

MC, within the profile_view.php file & member.php you will find the "element" that will control placement of the photo.  If you use a <div width:"value"; top:"value"; left:"value";>     element meaning the calling of the photo </div> in the correct spot it iwll take care of this for you.  I apologize I don't have the time right now to dig all of this up, as I'm buried in on this end with a few other things of my own, but you should be able to pick them out if you take a little time and look.

Please report back when you find it. 

***Note 960px is considered normal, not 857 px on a page width.  So yes, you are a little on the narrow side... :)

This  new gallery function does not work for me either. Photos are misplaced when people view profiles. BAH! I thought i was finished after fixing 30 bugs, at least. And fin another one. Will this never be over? It is wining, but justified wining.

To take so long time is to set up a software that is hands on is frustrating, i do hope the paid versions are better, but, i fear not. Usually the same. Yeah yeah.

I have searched my guts out to find a solution for this one. It is sort of help to know what files the problems is in, the problem is those files are not exacktly small. Another few hours of my life wasted. If anyone know the solution to this i would be more than happy to know.

This will stop the single profile pictures fading in and out.

• Thank you. But this slideshow problem was solved by another mode. Search on expertzzz.com for slideshow bug or something. A free download. So the slideshow is not the problem.

• The problem now is that photos appear from right. I want them centered. I changed the view_profile.css but it seems not to be working when you have the new flash gallery enabled. I was advised to search to members.php but can not get into that code to se how you center the profile photos. Anything else seems to be working.

It is only that small photos appear very  much to the right of the profile screen. I want a profile photo to be loaded in from the center, not from the right. And i have no idea how to change this.

Anyway, many thanks for trying to help. People like you give hope!

If someone knows the solution to this problem, that the profile photos are getting centered

while the new gallery function is enabled.

Little help would be very much appreciated. And yes, i have the slideshow contribution installed for

only one photo.

The problem is that photos are not aligned to center but aligned to the right. Not good.

same with my site what i did was  admin/builder/Pages Builder --profile -- and change the left column width

Yeah. It does the trick if you want to have site in 1600 px resolution as a whole.

But this is way to big for most normal web users. I use the standard 960 px resoultion for whole home page.

To change the left column width to bigger does not change the core issue-that photos are not centered but

placed to the right of all.

It seems impossible to have this issue resolved in this forum. Any help would still be appriciated!!!

I PAY 25 DOLLARS FOR ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME CHANGE THIS ON MY WEBSITE. THE SOLUTION WILL BE POSTED HER SO ALL OTHERS CAN CHANGE THIS FOR FREE!

The payment is for the programmers time and effort to look into this.

my site

Yeah. The core of the problem is that the left column of the two original columns are totally widespread over the whole page. This must be a bug. Unfourtenately is this not easily changed by dragging the page width.

Because you are referring to the tools in admin page builders, profiles? Correct?

In the top i have page widht 966. Below i have assinged each column 50% each. The problem is, that left column is not working like that, it is taking up almost whole page in reality. That is why there is a distortion. And i have no idea how to easy change this. Because i want both columns to be 50%, and this does not seem to be possible out of the blue.

I do appreciate your help, but it does not solve this problem, if i am not very unrational here.

Anyway, much appreciated!

SOLVED! I allowed to big profile photos posts! That is the reason. So just make sure in admin, advanced settings that you not allow more than 400 px of max width of profile photo.

Thanks all who tried to help me in this issue!
