    I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t seem to find why my thumbnail drop shadows aren’t working.

    Using Maxigallery 0.5 and I seem to have the drop shadow images in the right place.

    It’s a very basic call - nothing fancy. Do I need to have some sort of call in my CSS file? Or do I need something within my call to point to where the drop shadows are?

    Here’s the code for one of the thumbnails:
    <li>
    	<a href="/Event-Angels-Gallery-and-Venues.html?pic=14">
    	 	<img src="/assets/galleries/28/tn_gallery0703.jpg" class="thumbnail" title="*Blotts Country Club, Nottingham  » Click to zoom ->" alt="*Blotts Country Club, Nottingham  » Click to zoom ->" />
    	</a>
    		<p style="width: 130px;">
    		*Blotts Country Club, Nottingham
    		</p>	
    </li>


    Many thanks

      have you re-uploaded the images after you set drop shadow on?

        Yes - I set it before I uploaded any images and I have also re-uploaded

            This is the call

            [!MaxiGallery? &display=`embedded` &embedtype=`slidebox` &pics_in_a_row=`4` &max_thumb_size=`110` &max_pic_size=`0` &thumb_use_dropshadow=`1`!]

              Hmm.. I don’t know then, maybe it requires something special from the php GD library that your environment don’t have.. Should fine work with that call (although it’s a little outdated, pics_in_a_row is pics_per_row in v0.5).

                I used the call exactly as used in the relevant Wiki - I’ll try some other things. I noticed that where it is used with a drop shadow it also seems to be in a td?

                Thanks for your help.

                  Yep, wiki is outdated. I am currently updating it in small bits when I have time.

                  td tags in maxigallery output? no.. if you see td tags, you are using maxigallery 0.4.1
