    I’ve downloaded and installed this new snippet, but I can’t get it to work.

    I initially tried to set my own gallery directories, then tried to put images in the default directories, but no matter what I try, no images are retrieved, and the snippet returns a blank.

    It seems to me that the snippet calls chunks as output templates and sets placehoplders for these templates but I can’t find any chunks in the installed material. The documentation states that the formatting places inages in <div> statements for styling purposes, so someone thinks there’s some formatting going on.

    I’m not a programmer, so I could be wrong here, and MODx Revo is new to me - I’m a recent graduate from Evo, which I’ve used for years.

    In fact, I’m beat, and possibly I’m doing something wrong in Revo. But other snippets execute, including some I’ve written myself.

    I confess I’m a bit puzzled by the default directory for thumbnails: .../photos/.thumbs "/.thumbs"? Looks weird. And how are thumbnail images named in relation to their parent, larger images? There seems to be some very large assumptions about image/thumbnail relationships that I am not party to, and of course I suspect this might be why nothing’s working.


    Any ideas, anyone?


    Yours
