Oops! Earlier today we noticed that the left pane template didn’t get updated when upgrading a gallery from one of the 3.X versions. Because of this, the left pane appears empty when viewed on a touchscreen device larger than 750 pixels, as seen here on a Nexus 7:
This only affects users who upgraded their gallery to 3.2.0 in the last four days. In addition, regular monitors (non-touchscreen) don’t have an issue, and neither do mobile devices smaller than 750 pixels. But those of you using an iPad, Nexus 7/10, Surface, touchscreen laptops and similar devices will see an empty left pane.
What happened is that we forgot to tell the 3.2.0 migration code to update the JavaScript portion of the left pane template to use the new, improved touchscreen features we added in 3.2. The end result is that the script continues to use the 3.0/3.1 behavior of not rendering the album treeview when a touchscreen is detected.
The fix was easy enough, and the download files have already been updated, so any upgrades you perform from this point on include the latest templates. If you already migrated your gallery to 3.2, there is a quick edit you need to fix your UI template. Follow these steps:
-
In the UI Templates screen in the site admin area, select the LeftPane gallery item. Then click the JavaScript tab. Delete the script as shown here:
-
In its place paste the following text:
// Render the left pane if it exists
var $lp = $('#{{:Settings.LeftPaneClientId}}');
if ($lp.length > 0) {
$lp.html( $.render [ '{{:Settings.LeftPaneTmplName}}' ]( window.{{:Settings.ClientId}}.gspData ));It will look like this when you are done:
- Save your changes. Repeat the process for any custom left pane templates you’ve created, if any.
We will include this fix in the next update as well, so those of you who already upgraded to 3.2 but don’t apply the fix described here will still get the fixed template in the next release after 3.2.0.
Sorry about any inconvenience.
