Hi Daniel,
When you say "photos do not pop up on the screen when selected from a gallery" are you trying to implement some jQuery lightbox effect?

Hi again,

no I just described it a bit sloppy. I meant that they just don't show at all. I have implemented the macro DisplayPhoto but when I click a photo everything shows up on that page except the photo itself.

Cheers, Daniel

OK Daniel,
Are you able to provide some more details to the problem please.

What does your macro contain, Razor or XSLT?
If you copy and paste your macro code here I can take a look and see what it is trying to do. (Remember to use the code format from the dropdown)

Cheers,
Warren 

Hi again, I am following your tutorial, building the CWS. And I believe that the macros are XSLT.

Hi again,

yes this solves the problem! Thank you! I started to understand that it had to be the XSLT that was the bad guy but I am unfortunately to much of a novise on it to be able to find the problem myself so again thank you!

I have found a number of smaller differences in the files downloaded for the tutorial. This (the XSLT DisplayPhoto), the missing \ for the CSS-pathing. The default chosen master templates in the template files. They haulted me at least 2-3 hours each. Frustrating but good for my over all learning process and good because it made me use the forums:)

Cheers, Daniel
