Hi,

I've uploaded the OOm Media Gallery 2.1.4 RC3 to my german mambo installation. But I can't write long gallery names, why not?
For example: Die Siedler: Das Erbe der Könige - the zoom gallery cuts the 'Könige' :P

Where can I change this? I did not found a specific setting in the settings.....

It would appear that it is limited to 25 chars, if you want longer names then you will have to edit the mysql table defenitions for the zoom gallery.

However it *may* be a typo from the developer, I am not sure.

If you have phpMyadmin installed (your host probably do) then you should be able to go into the database and change the appropriate field value.

In this case that is the table mos_zoom, field catname. it is set to varchar length 25, change the length to 255 and you should get long gallery names.

Another alternative if you do not have phpmyadmin, and do not mind uninstalling zoom and reinstalling it is to edit the zoom.xml file before you upload to the server.

Then you unpack the file first, edit zoom.xml and change

catname varchar(25) default '0',

to

catname varchar(255) default '0',

pack the file again, and upload as normal.

I do not know which is easiest, personally I would just go into the database and alter it there.

You may also have to change the "catdir" size, however I would try catname only first, and if that solves your problem then leave catdir alone, other wise increase the size of it as well.

Another point, not that I mind helping, you should pop on over to the Zoom site forums, and ask the question there as well, as I said it *may* be a typo from the developer, and it *may* not be.

Thanks,

your first tip works.

But:

for example: Bigger screenshots damages my layout. How can I force zoom to enlarge screenshots in a seperate window?

edit: I fixed that. Must allow pop up window. =)
