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

http://www.tuwang.org/

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:

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 Lee. Great theme. I am using it with Joomla. When I use the standard ‘Matrix” theme the album fits within the content part of the site. When I use the “Ebony” theme the album overrides the Joomla settings. Can you advise what changes I need to make to ensure it fits within the content area? http://wendylaroche.com/index.php?option=com_gallery2&Itemid=33

    Thank you for your answer. I get this error randomly with other themes aswell. I think it’s the database connection or something like that.

    Regards

    It seems it’s not the theme problem.
    Try to rebuild thumbnail? or plugin conflict?

    Hi Oliver,

    Nice work.
    Recently I have lots of other things need to do, So can’t spend more time on this theme now.
    Glad to hear that you are working on table removal. feel free to do it.
    I’ll consider to release a new version on Q3 or Q4 of this year.

    About rating icon set, I will post them here later.

    Jesse,

    I got it now with the block, thanks.
    I changed your layout and removed a larger part of the tables. It would be great btw if you could include your rating stars with the layout since the white background ones are not really good.

    If you are interested in the layout w/o tables, please tell me.
    Its not perfect yet, I guess many parts of the layout still can be changed so that there are less etc.

    >>you have additional sections in the demo with recent additions etc, how do I do that?
    >You need ImageBlock plugin.

    I installed it, but the two albums do not show up by themselves. Do I have to edit the template?
    If so, how?

    thanks for the help! If you need help with the tables removal or CSS please tell me! We could create a sf.net code repository and work on the code together if you want.

    You need ImageBlock plugin.

    >>Also, how can I get the file description (long one) into the lightbox window?
    I need some time to look into the code, but recently very busy.

    Love your theme, you have additional sections in the demo with recent additions etc, how do I do that? Also, how can I get the file description (long one) into the lightbox window? Also, I would _love_ to see the tables gone.
