Ebony Gallery2 Theme
2008年02月25日 05:33 • 查看 3,486 次 • 打印本文I’ve developed a new theme “Ebony” for personal use. It’s based on Carbon theme.
Here are a few of screenshots:
Ebony Theme Main features:
1. Javascript Effects.
1) Thumbnail Reflection.
It likes Mac Gallery. Using this Js reflection effects you dont need to use imageframe.
2) Built in Lightbox using mootool javascript library.
It’s not famous prototype lightbox. It’s a mootools lightbox, which is smaller and better than prototype’s. The js file plus mootools lib file is about 54KB in total, the prototype lightbox is about 104KB. Also, using this lightbox you can click the thumbnail don’t need to wait the page loading completely.
3) Sliding Sidebar
A new Js file for mootools.
2. Seach engine friendly.
1). Page title changed to like this:
Gallery - Album - SubAlbum - Photo Name
2). Use h2, h3 tag in Photo name and link to photo page.
Theme Demo
Browser Compatible:
Ebony is compatible and fully tested with IE 7, Firefox 2.0+, Opera 9.0+ and Safari 3.0+. It doesn’t work very well with IE6. There is a Js(PNG) problem and a css problem. It’s not very difficult to fix them. But I’ve been recently a bit busy. So currently I have no plan to do this. IE6 sucks.
Gallery Compatible:
It has been only tested with Gallery 2.2.4(I am currently running this version). But It maybe work with other 2.x versions, not tested.
Theme Download
There are three versions you can choose one.
1. English Version:

3. Chinese Traditional:

http://www.tuwang.org/files/buttons.png
Use this png file to replace ebony/images/buttons.png file.
Installation
* After unbz2 the file, you’ll see there are two folders: themes and modules. The themes folder contains main Ebony theme, just upload it to your gallery theme folder. Modules folder contains some module templates. If you use those modules, you can upload them to your gallery’s corresponding module folder.
* The PSD files of logo and buttons included.
* Change the ad banner on the top.
Just edit /ebony/templates/ads.tpl, change the image file to yours. If you don’t want it, just remove the div content.
Next Release
1. Remove all tables, fully div + CSS structure.
2. Add more Js effects. (e.g., change the background color of photo page, Sliding MicroThumbnail View)
3. Remove unnecessary div tag in .tpl file.
4. Make CSS file more clear.
Bugs, problem, question please post here.
** Please don’t remove the credit message in the theme footer**

Hi Jesse,
i use your theme too, and its very good!
So thanx so far.
I’ve found an ‘error’. In the AJAX preview if you click on the image watermarks are not placed. So anyone can get the clean pic without watermarks (e.g. with firefox by clicking ‘view background image’).
maybe you can fix it in a future release

解决了，安装了英文版本就OK了，不知道咋回事。
@水灰色
以前没发现这种情况，前面的评论好像也没看到过类似的问题。
你用的什么浏览器？相册是否和其他程序进行整合？能否提供 URL?
安装上主题后，出现一个问题，进入到单个相册后，点击单个相片的缩略图，不但没有出现lightbox效果，反而会造成浏览器假死。
我翻看了一下评论，似乎一个叫做dan的朋友也有类似困扰，但是没有具体看懂，英文太烂。
希望作者能够解答一下，我很喜欢这个主题。
Hellow.I have a carbon theme on my web page http://www.betastudio.ro .I wanted you to help me with something.I want to put the same refflections that you have on the ebony theme on my theme.I don’t know what to do or where to modify inwich file.Please help.If you have the time please tell me step by step where to modify cause I am not so good with codes.Thank you .Flaviu from Romania.
PS : Good job with the ebony theme.
在官网看到你的帖子了，不知道你是如何学习gallery2的。我看中文的资料几乎没有，自己想做个英文站，用你的主题，但是有很多不懂的地方（几乎是不懂，呵呵），以后可以向你讨教吗？
Hallo Jesse,
Absolutely great theme you made.
The theme seems to work well. After installing its modules this error occured:
[Translation error: Array ( [one] => (%d item total) [many] => (%d items total) [count] => [arg1] => ) ]
I have posted the error here:

Nice greetings, Dirk.
@Tyrone
There is no update so far.
Hi Jesse, Any updates on the template?
Here is a copy of the ebony theme that has been updated for Gallery2 R2.3. The most notable change is that I have made use of the new template override feature to bring all the templates for the different modules into the theme directory.
To install just copy all of the files in the archive file into the themes/ebony directory.

I can’t find the lines I edited, but if you would like my template files (album.tpl and photo.tpl), let me know and I’ll send them to you.
I made another modification to show the description (summary) of the photo under the thumbnails on the album page and show the full description next to the photo - on the photo page.
PS: I just discovered a broken thumbnail after my previous post. Hmmm….could this be because I just moved my gallery to the root of my website? I’ll look into that!
RE: Thumbnails showing broken, issue.
Mine was doing the same thing, Most were broken, depending on the album. In Site Admin, look for Graphics Toolkits -> Toolkit Priority. I changed my order to NetPBM then Gd then ImageMagick. I don’t know why I have that particular order but anyway…
After saving that, I went in to Maintenance under Site Admin and selected Build all thumbnails/resizes. It took a long time, but now I have thumbnails again.
Hope that helps…?

Tuwang.org is a improved ebony theme. There are lots of changes, even including core gallery files and plugin files. Currently it’s not suitable for common users.
You need to customize it youself.
