Okay Folks, I’ve been unable to fix this problem. Highly technical:
I’ve tried to use a duplicate template without a narrow option for a few gallery sections because the images, if too large, will blow out of the center column when it is narrowed. I’ve been trying to figure out how to reset the pages. It seemed to work on entrance to these pages with the assigned duplicate WIDE version of the template, BUT I found that there were so many backdoors that I kept seeing the narrow page reappear in the gallery section of http://www.tackypolice.com. It seems that part of the problem was stored cookies for screentype: I found that in firefox, the narrowing screen is set to cookies and stayed active even after I removed the option. I had to manually delete the screentype cookie in order to get a wide screen again. Refreshing alone did not do it. So I am assuming that the cookie was overriding some of our attempts to control the screen layout. Not sure.
We tried to fix this problem with javascript
> <script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
> if( RegExp.test(“com_copperminevis”,window.location.href)) {
> setScreenType(‘wide’);
> }
> </script>
But then I figured out I think that WIDE is acting as a variable in the JA Merc code:
I think I’ve found the code, but not sure how to modify it. I set setScreenType(‘narrow’) to (‘wide’) in the 2nd function, but that didn’t stop the behavior.
$ja_width = $ja_width_default;
$ja_font_size = $ja_font_size_default;
getUserSetting();
function getUserSetting(){
global $ja_color, $ja_font_size, $ja_width, $ja_menutype, $ja_template_name, $ja_template_name;
if (isset($_COOKIE[‘JATheme’]) && $_COOKIE[‘JATheme’] == $ja_template_name){
if (isset($_COOKIE[‘ColorCSS’]) && $_COOKIE[‘ColorCSS’]){
$ja_color = $_COOKIE[‘ColorCSS’];
}
if (isset($_COOKIE[‘ScreenType’])){
$ja_width = $_COOKIE[‘ScreenType’];
}
function genToolMenu($jatool){
global $ja_template_path,$ja_font_size_default, $ja_font_size, $ja_color_themes, $ja_width, $ja_color;
if ($jatool & 1){//show screen tools
?>
<span class=”ja-usertools”>
<a href=”#Narrow” onclick=”setScreenType(‘narrow’);return false;”><img title=”Narrow screen” src=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/<?php echo $ja_color?>/user-screen1<?php echo ( ($ja_width==”wide”) ? “” : “-hilite” ) ?>.gif” alt=”Narrow screen resolution” id=”ja-tool-narrow” onclick=”changeToolHilite(curtool, this);curtool=this;” /></a>
<a href=”#Wide” onclick=”setScreenType(‘wide’);return false;”><img title=”Wide screen” src=”<?php echo $ja_template_path;?>/images/<?php echo $ja_color?>/user-screen2<?php echo ( ($ja_width==”wide”) ? “-hilite” : “” ) ?>.gif” alt=”Wide screen resolution” id=”ja-tool-wide” onclick=”changeToolHilite(curtool, this);curtool=this;” /></a>
</span>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var curtool = document.getElementById(‘<?php echo ( ($ja_width==”wide”) ? “ja-tool-wide” : “ja-tool-narrow” ) ?>’);
</script>
The problem appears to be in part that Coppermine.vis Gallery loses its ID -39 in some links, so I cannot keep the alternate template assigned to it consistently. If I could keep that section wide, I could allow users to narrow the pages in other sections. But I’m not sure how to reset the wide variable or to remove the cookies if that is what’s needed.
