Dead end when you are in slide show mode.

I just opened my website. The site has been closed since I began recreating it a couple of years ago.

The address is Art and Imagination of David L Friend

So in the process of checking through the functionality  of various features, I decided to see how the slide show works in the gallery module. I saw it worked perfectly. Very nice… EXCEPT when it came to the last picture in the slide show and then… what do I do from here?

No breadcrumbs. No link to return to the gallery or home. It just comes to a dead end.

I did use the browser's back button which put me back to the previous photo which had bread crumb links. Interestingly enough… if you press the previous button, you are taken to the previous image - but there is no bread crumb trail or any other way to escape or choose another site location to go.

Hello.

On my end, it appears slideshows open up in a new window. So closing out of the slideshow window / tab would generally take you back to your website. Is this not happening for you?

If you are on the non-mobile version, the slideshow does open another window as you say, but if you are using the mobile version, no additional window or tab opens up. there is just the dead end unless you are intuitive enough to use the back arrow on the brpwser.

Aha, I see it now.

Please add to the tracker if you could at My View - Composr CMS feature tracker . Please be sure to specify it happens on the mobile version.

You keep telling me to add to the tracker, bu I'm not I t sure how to do that or what wording to use. I'm sorry. You asked on a p rior post which was (to me) more complex to describe.

Hello.

First, make sure you're logged in to Compo.sr. Then, go to the tracker link.

On the page, at the top, you should see "report issue (or suggest feature)". In mobile, it will be under the hamburger menu in the top left corner.

If prompted, choose the "Composr" project, unless you are reporting an issue for a non-bundled addon ("Composr non-bundled addons") or the compo.sr site ("Composr website"). In this case, you would choose "Composr" because galleries is a bundled addon.

On the form, choose the appropriate category. Categories are based on the addon affected by your issue. In this case, it would be galleries.

For severity, select one of the following:

• Feature-request if you are reporting a suggestion or a feature you'd like to see
• Trivial-bug for typos and other issues that do not affect the operation of a site
• Minor-bug for bugs that affect the operation of the site, but not to the degree it makes them unusable. This is what you would select for this issue.
• Major-bug for bugs that cause critical errors / hard crashes and prevent being able to use certain features at all.
• Security-hole if reporting a security vulnerability

Product version - choose the version of Composr CMS you are using (found on your Admin Zone). If running v11, leave blank for now.

Assign to (not sure if this is visible on your end) - Leave blank

Summary - Describe in a brief, concise sentence what the issue or suggestion is (in this case, "gallery slideshows do not open in a new window in mobile version")

Description - Provide more details about the issue… What errors did you get? Or for feature suggestions, describe in more detail your feature or suggestion and how you think it will benefit Composr and its users.

Steps to reproduce - Describe the step-by-step process you took which led you to the issue, if you can.

Additional Information - What other relevant information do you have, such as PHP version, operating system, webserver type, etc (not required but can help in some cases)?

Attach tags (not sure if this is visible on your end) - leave blank

Time estimation (hours) (not sure if this is visible on your end) - leave blank

Sponsorship open - Leave unticked

Upload files - Upload any relevant screenshots and stack traces (not required but will help)

View Status - Leave public except when reporting security issues… if reporting security issues, you should always set this to private.

Click Submit Issue.

Hi Patrick
The tool (I'd term it a wizard) is really super - so straightforward to complete, especially with the info & guidance popups you've appended. Please, please add it to the tracker home page!

Also super is your guidance in post #9708 above, which I've browser-bookmarked - very many thanks!

I'll be sure it is mentioned on the tracker home page once we migrate to composr.app . I anticipate it won't be much longer (probably a month or two) before I start announcing plans for the site migration.
