rtMedia gallery issues

[sharmstr]

1 – I wanted to remove the H2 ‘media gallery’ title from the page. If I copy rtmedia/media/media-gallery.php to my child theme, I get an error saying it can’t find ‘media-gallery-item.php’. To fix this, the include statement on line 27 needs to specify ‘get_template_directory()’

COPY CODE

<?php include (get_template_directory() .'/rtmedia/media/media-gallery-item.php'); ?>

2 – When hovering over a thumbnail, a h4 image name pops up. The text is #444 and the background is rgba(0,0,0,0.6) which makes it nearly impossible to read the text.

3 – Do you have any plans to style rtMedia’s Masonry when using their gallery shortcode?

Hi,
1. I remember talking about this in the past with rtmedia guys and their solution was to copy also the media-gallery-item.php in the child theme.

2. we fixed that. until next update you can add this css in quick css box

COPY CODE

#buddypress .rtmedia-container .rtmedia-list .rtmedia-list-item.masonry-brick a h4,
#buddypress .rtmedia-activity-container .rtmedia-list .rtmedia-list-item.masonry-brick a h4,
#buddypress div.rtmedia-activity-container .rtmedia-list .rtmedia-list-item.masonry-brick a h4 {
    font-size: inherit;
    color: #fff;
}

3. I have added the shortcode and it seems that it takes the structure from the media-gallery.php template
See the attached screen

1 – I should have been more specific. Is in the kelo code. Just add get_template_directory to Kleo’s rtmedia/media/media-gallery.php and it will fixed.

2 & 3. Let me play around with that again today and I’ll report back.

1. I understand what you mean but that won’t override that template if you want to do that and copy it to a child theme

1 – Oh. I think I understand what you’re saying. So, if I make that change, then I wouldn’t be able to customize media-gallery-item.php if I wanted to. Hmm. So only solution is to copy both files to the child theme, even if I only want to modify media-gallery.php. Right? If that’s the case though, couldn’t you just check for the existence of media-gallery-item.php in the child theme and if it isn’t there pull from the parent theme?

2 – The css doesnt work because it for h4 titles within a buddypress div. The rtMedia gallery isnt contained in any buddypress layout. This works

COPY CODE

.rtmedia-list.masonry .rtmedia-item-title h4 {
    font-size: inherit !important;
    color: #fff !important;
}

3 – Look at your screenshot. The styling doesnt match other parts of Kleo. Compare it to the media in a members profile. If you could get it to match that, it would be a lot better. But, I’m going to play around with it a bit more. I report back later.

I’ve played around with the gallery and the image display in the member media tab. I finally got it looking decent. Part of the problem was my configuration. I didnt have cropping turned on for thumbnails. Out of the box, rtMedia does a terrible job of laying out uncropped images. Instead of digging into their code to fix that, I turned on cropping and regenerated the thumbnails.

Thanks for the help!
