CSS3 Theme for Phoca Gallery 4.x

Joomla 3.1.5
Phoca Gallery 4.0.2
Current Theme : CSS3

Trying to get my new site's gallery to look like my older sites using the CSS3 theme.

New site: http://www.kehilaschool.ca/photo-gallery

Old site: https://www.csbbcs.org/other/photo-gallery

From what I gather you don't have any themes ready for PG 4 yet.

I'm looking for hints if I'm going to attempt to get the CSS3 theme to give the same look as it did with PG 3. It's not too far off really, but the shadow rollover doesn't work and none of my custom CSS seems to work as the classes and ids all seem to be different.

Any direction you can give me would be appreciated.

Also, it would be nice to know your timeline for having the CSS3 ready for PG 4.

Thank you!

Hi, yes, many obsolete design features were removed in Phoca Gallery 4 (as CSS3 is in fact standards, so css techniques are no used). CSS3 Theme which was made for Joomla! 2.5 is in fact CSS3 too but it was made for old version to somehow compensate the obsolete design. So it is in fact not compatible in Phoca Gallery 4 (as it changes obsolete design in Phoca Gallery 3 to new one). In Phoca Gallery 4, the design is made fully by CSS3 so to have the same view, it needs to be customized in CSS.

In fact you can copy the CSS include in theme and load it as custom CSS (see styles) but because some classes names were changed, it needs to be changed too - the design and the CSS attributes are OK, the only one problem is to change the name of CSS classes to follow Phoca Gallery 4 names)

Thanks Jan. Do you have a mapping of the old class/id names to the new ones?

Also, are there any themes ready for PG 4?

Hi, for now there is no theme for PG4, I hope I will release some soon :-(

And no mapping for the class/id names :-(
