Tiles Image Gallery

Why we can not use tile image gallery when the image is only 2 ? It shows just 1 “thumbnail” image. But when the image are 3 and more, it works. Hope, someday, tile image gallery can works even only 2 images on it.

Thanks a lot

So, I’m having this component fail for me. I installed it on the default theme just to give it a test run before I added it to others, but it’s not working properly. I’ve tried it myself, and so have users.

This is what ends up happening:


Thread test is here.

What other components/plugins are you using? A conflict is usually the culprit in these situations, as that component is working fine on both of my Discourse instances.

Also, I am looking forward to NaNoWriMo this year! :wink:

Nothing fancy. Just these, no plugins.

(The Vincent one is straight css, only on the Vincent theme, not default.)

First year we’ll have nano on discourse. Can’t WAIT.

I’m using Vincent on one of my sites as well. It’s a great theme, though you may have to fix the CSS in a few places, as the theme hasn’t been updated for the changes in Discourse 2.3. (I just added a theme component containing the CSS fixes … easy peasy.)

I’m using all of the components you are except for the Staff Color Fix one.

Are you using any unusual plugins?

Nope, no plugins at all, just SSO

Okay, so I was BRIEFLY able to replicate what you were seeing by installing the component on a Discourse instance which didn’t have it installed previously. When I used the component for the first time, I got the same behavior you saw (images way off to the right side).

HOWEVER, the problem resolved itself after I did one small thing: I added line breaks between the image URIs. When I saved the message, within a moment or two, the engine re-rendered the images in tile format as expected.

So, I changed this:

</div>

To this:

<div data-theme-tiles="1">

![PNG|690x376](upload://tkDa9A71XGWBECPZ8O4NJ7EVU0o.jpeg) 
![PNG|690x375](upload://qF63DV2mw5jrFWvYleWclebsDMo.jpeg) 
![PNG|690x376](upload://8xiyNyKpSqdDOfh4mxMHgy0Bzkh.jpeg) 

</div>

Interestingly, after it worked once, it no longer seems to matter whether there are line breaks between the image URLs :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

If you want to test it out on either of my sites, just send me a message and I’ll send you links (one is non-public rn) :sunglasses:

Okay, after a lot of experimentation and work with @cjk77 on his own installation, we’ve figured out we’re bumping up against the max image size limitations. It doesn’t handle that gracefully, so instead of just failing, it does some weird reformatting on the final product. IF you post an image that’s too small you may get this:


All images used were under the resize limit. Image of the exact limit don’t render at all.

I have this issue also. This is due to the size of the image? Should they be enlarged and reuploaded?

Edit: that fixed it.

Yes, based on my experiments the component won’t work on images smaller than the max limit. It has to do with the way oneboxing works, I believe.

Both work perfectly here. Could you be more specific about what’s not working for you? What version of Discourse are you using?

We are hosted by Discourse. So I don’t know the exact number but it seems last update has happened 17 hours ago. I’ve installed the component and upload several images to try but not working. That’s all :thinking:

You can find the version of Discourse you’re on by looking at the HTML header of any page:

discourseversion

That’s still not helpful – WHAT is not working? Do the buttons appear in the editor? What does the resulting text look like before you save it? Do the images appear in your post at all? Etc.

No one will be able to help unless they can understand what specifically is going on.

Thanks, I’ve found it:

update

Images appear but not as how it supposed to be:

It should’ve been like this:

Your images are too small. They need to be large enough to activate Discourse’s internal image resizing routine for the Tiles or Slick galleries to work.

What are minimum sizes for images to make the component work correctly?

Whatever your setting is for your site.

Look for max image width and max image height

Images must be larger than this setting to trigger the component.

Bug perhaps? Certainly opportunity for improvement. I just installed this today and have been struggling to get the layout correct. I finally worked it out. I needed to have all my images on a single line before using the composer button. Otherwise I end up with code that looks like this:

![20060316-img1|679x500](upload://7IiKEBIQhilcDwt9KIBxiWZsVt8.jpeg)

</div>
<div data-theme-tiles="1">

![20060106-img2|674x499](upload://pYLbo4Bg417KHGzcNsfVopvxDfX.jpeg)

</div>

And all my images are in a single column.

I’m guessing this isn’t an issue if you upload all your images in a single batch, but in my case I was collating images from a number of posts, and copying the links in one-by-one.

Why not just press the Tiles button first, then insert the image links where it says “Add images”?
