 Hi
I am new to Event gallery, I am having problems with the event layout.
Whatever I change the Event layout to (Image List, Ajax List, Grid List etc)or event layout to Grid, Tiles or Text.
It makes no difference in my front end.
I have cleared the cache in Joomla and in the browser but it makes no difference.

Version 3.3.2

Many thanks

Where do you change those settings? If you have a menu item there are two places: global component options and menu item options. The latter will always win.

Thank you, I have changed that and now understand the Global/Menu options I think.
One other problem I am having;

I currently have Events set to Grid, the size of the thumbnails in this view is square and I cannot seem to adjust the size of them
However if I set Events to Tiles then the tile stretches to fit the page. How can I restrict the tile size please?

You will see what I mean here http://new.stevetuckerphotography.co.uk/portfolio

Thanks

The link you seen look fine. Can you help me with a screenshot please?

Stevebfefdsv
The current problem is that the Event Tiles are not the same height on the portfolio page I linked to. I can find no way of adjusting this unless each image is exactly the same height?

Stevebfefdsv
Here is the screen shot as you can see right hand tile is smaller

Okay, now we're on the same page. The layout is exactly as expected. The height/width ratio is different for those images. Since the Tile layout respects the image size, the resulting tiles are not equal. Solution: Use preview images with the same height/width ratio and do not show them in the normal list of images (https://www.svenbluege.de/joomla-event-gallery/event-gallery-manual/manage-files).

Thanks,
one more question on the subject. If I choose to use Event Grid List, it overlays the Title and fades the image, but I find the title is difficult to read. Is it possible the change this in any way?

sbluege
You can nearly change everything by adding some lines to your templates CSS file.

By the way, I recommend switching to Event Gallery 3.4 since this is the latest version.

Stevebfefdsv
OK, thanks I will update
