Hi, since I upgraded to Easyblog 5, photo galleries created using Simple Image Gallery Pro are no longer working. I am able to place the script, however, Easyblog does not show gallery, it only displays a messagem that the folder does not contain any images, however, all images are in the respective folder.

All of the posts created on my blog have gallery images created using Simple Image Gallery Pro. Here is an exemple:

Post: http://www.cyclinrio.com/index.php/pt/capa/entry/la-ciclovia-orla-sul-2013
Message: Warning: No images in specified directory. Please check the directoy! Debug: specified directory - http://www.cyclinrio.com/images/Blog-do-Herzog/California_2013/2013_11_16_los-angeles:::0:0
Image Folder (real place where the images can be found): images/easyblog_images/Blog-do-Herzog/California_2013/2013_11_16_los-angeles

Please, let me know what could be the cause for this issue.




Thanks.

Mauricio Herzog
Hey Mauricio,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've tried to user Simple Image Gallery insert gallery into blog content, but i hitting the permission issue, can you assign this `easyblog` user to have Superadmin privileges so that I can check on this?

By the way, I tried to open these 3 folder from FTP :
- blogapp
- blogdoherzog
- cyclinblog

But I didn't any Easyblog folder inside these few folder, can you point us which is the correct directory folder which installed Easyblog?

Looking forward of your response.

Hi Arlex, Easyblog is in the root installation, in: /public_html/components

I am having problems adding the superuser priviledges for the easyblog user. I will try to reinstall the app, as it is showing a conflict when I release the priviledges to the manager administrator on the joomla panel.

Thakns for the quick reply.

Mauricio

Hey Mauricio,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've checked in your directory folder, it seems like your current directory missing this folder "Blog-do-Herzog".

Debug: specified directory - http://www.cyclinrio.com/images/Blog-do-Herzog/California_2013/2013_11_16_los-angeles:::0:0


Perhaps you provide us with your Superadmin user account access so I can do some testing here?

Thanks Arlex. I have given easyblog superadmin. However, on Joomlas frontend, you can see the folder Blog-do-Herzog and all subfolders that have the images used in the posts.

images/easyblog_images/Blog-do-Herzog (clickin on content>media manager).

Let me know what happens.

Thanks

Hi Mauricio,

Regarding your issue, I've edit your blog post the gallery path from:



{gallery}Blog-do-Herzog/California_2013/2013_11_16_los-angeles:::0:0{/gallery}


to:



{gallery}easyblog_images/Blog-do-Herzog/California_2013/2013_11_16_los-angeles{/gallery}


Now, the images from your folder are showing in the blog post. Please see:

Hope this help and have a nice day!

Thank you Sam. I have updated all galleries and will make this note. I did find a problem with the Embeding feature in Easyblog. This feature lets you choose the dimensions of the video, however, it doesn´t work. Here is the link to a post with a video embed before the upgrade and the same video reembeded today, both using the Embed button on the Easyblog composer:

http://cyclinrio.com/index.php/pt/capa/entry/blog-do-herzog-uma-semana-pedalando-em-buenos-aires-fev-2014

Do you know why the video is not being limited to the dimensions listed on the Embed feature?

thanks,

Mauricio

Hi Mauricio,

I have already figured out a hack for your video display that not following your settings.

Here is the idea, in desktop view, your video will follow your settings, while in mobile view, the video will be responsive. Below is the CSS hack: 
div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video, 

div#fd.eb .video-container {

    position: static;

    padding-bottom: 0;

    padding-top: 0;

    height: auto;

}



div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video object, 

div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video embed, 

div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video iframe, 

div#fd.eb .video-container object, 

div#fd.eb .video-container embed, 

div#fd.eb .video-container iframe {

    position: static;

}



@media(max-width: 768px) {

    div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video, 

    div#fd.eb .video-container {

        position: relative;

        padding-bottom: 56.25%;

        padding-top: 25px;

        height: 0;

    }



    div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video object, 

    div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video embed, 

    div#fd.eb .eb-responsive-video iframe, 

    div#fd.eb .video-container object, 

    div#fd.eb .video-container embed, 

    div#fd.eb .video-container iframe {

        position: absolute;

        top: 0;

        left: 0;

        width: 100% !important;

        height: 100% !important;

    }

}


Please wait for Sam to hack a bit your video iframe width and height inline styling.

Please advice, cheers!

Hi Mauricio,

I've added a temporary fix on your site at file 'JOOMLA/administrator/components/com_easyblog/includes/videos/adapters/youtube.php' and also added the above css code into your Joomla template file 'JOOMLA/templates/uber/local/css/themes/personalizado01/template.css'

Now your video is showing correctly the width and hight
http://screencast.com/t/TORs15YCf

The same fix will be added into next release of EasyBlog as well

Hope this help and have a nice day!
Sam

Thanks for the help guys. The only issue is that the video is not mobile friendly (the photos and the rest of easyblog are). If there is a way to make the video mobile friendly, let me know. You guys have been great.

cheers,

Mauricio

Hi Ikram, I didn´t notice any difference in the video sizes. I have attached a screen shot of the youtube video being larger then the mobile screen.

Hello Mauricio,

I already tested this using my phone (Android) and iOs Simulator for iPhone6 size and the display looks fine.
