Forum:Gallery not working properly

As wikia are going to be releasing the new gallery customisation feature soon, I am looking forward to that, but I have been having a problem with the gallery's look. I'd imagine it's because of the customise your gallery feature, but has anybody else been having a problem. It just doesn't seem to be showing all images at the same size and looks bad. Has anyone else been having the problem?

 * Do you have a link to a page with a gallery that has this problem? -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:45 AM PST 14 Jul 2010


 * The problem of the images in galleries not all being the same height is probably caused by recent changes by Wikia.
 * For example... This is what galleries on BioShock Wiki currently look like: w:c:bioshock:Eleanor_Lamb
 * This is what they used to look like: (Google cached page)
 * The good news is that it ought to be a temporary problem... ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 19:37, July 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought the Wikia  was a superset of the one used on Wikipedia: wikipedia:Wikipedia:Gallery. The Wikipedia version says you can use a   attribute, but the Wikia w:c:help:Help:Galleries_and_slideshows/wikitext doesn't seem to mention it. It may still work.
 * From what I can tell, w:c:bioshock:Eleanor_Lamb is doing what it's supposed to do. The previous cached version may have used . --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 3:44 PM PST 14 Jul 2010
 * Nevermind the thing I said about . I tested it on w:c:bioshock:Eleanor_Lamb and it doesn't work. So Wikia's   is probably based on an old branch of Wikipedia's and thus somewhat inferior. --  Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 4:06 PM PST 14 Jul 2010
 * Actually the heights option was recently removed as an intended design decision (which personally I wish they hadn't done). I'm having issues as well with images not being resized appropriately and they are bleeding off of their boxes. --Tlosk 02:21, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well Kirkburn says, "we have simplified this to use widths for both directions." But that doesn't seem to work as he says, since widths is not applying to the image height, only the width as seen in w:c:bioshock:Eleanor_Lamb (seen with the tall image of "Eleanor wearing a Big Sister suit."). So, there is still a bug there. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:49 AM PST 15 Jul 2010

Ok. I will not mind to much, but I hope Wikia do fix this eventully.

 * This is also causing problems on Memory Beta: compare http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Assignment_patch to the cached predecessor at http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Assignment_patch


 * We're going to have to redo all of our galleries with template if wikia doesn't sort the code out. -- Captain MKB 15:34, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Best to keep an eye on the comments of User blog:Sarah Manley/Design your own photo galleries. We're going to try some tweaks. 12:28, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
