WP Photo Gallery Plugin – Flickr Photo Gallery

hana phto album
I was looking for an easy to use photo gallery and I was browsing wordpress.org’s plugin links page.

There are many kinds of plugin and I was visiting each plugin one by one. Then I decided to choose Flickr Photo Gallery plugin for my photo album solution.

I choose Flickr Photo Gallery because…

  • The main reason is that I do not have to store all my pictures in my web hosting server. I used to use gallery solution in my web server with all the pictures stored local hard disk because I did not like the idea of putting my pictures on the other website such as Flickr. However the negative side of local stored picutres are (1) taking up too much space and (2) hard to back up the website since there are more hard disk space to back up, and (3) taking up too much bandwidth.
  • Flickr Photo Gallery provides nice phto album page that is completed integrated with your wordpress theme.
  • Flickr Photo Gallery provides the fuctionality of using LightBox2 Javascript package. You just need to enable the $useLightbox in the file photoalbum-header.html of Flickr folder by setting it to “true”.

So here is my photo album.

[drupal] Problem in ie6 selecting text

I wanted to use drupal theme friendselectric, and I really wanted visitors to copy texts from my site if necessary.

During the initial web search I found that by inserting XML tag in the first line of themes/friendselectric/page.tpl.php , selecting text supposed to work.

"; ?>

In the first look, it does appear solving the problem. However other layout design came out incorrectly.

So I spent some more time with the themes/friendselectric/style.css

And Luckily, I think I finally found the solution!!!!

My solution is commenting below “position:relative” line.
Do not use above XML tag, but instead open themes/friendselectric/style.css
and edit content-wrap entry commeting “position: relative;”


#content-wrap {
float: left;
/* position: relative; */
}

It does look OK & I am able to select the body text! (At least content body)
