Simple Image Gallery Plugin Pro - Not XHTML Valid? was created by Royal Bhaktapur

Hi Guys,

Just found this site with the beautiful plugin. The functions look really nice. Especially for the greybox plugin and the thumbnails.

Only I'm just building my first joomla site, and want to have everything xhtml valid. However when I check some sites and demo's of this addon, it doesn't seems to be that this is xhtml valid. The w3 validator gives a lot of errors and warnings with the script.
Can anyone clarify / confirm this?

I'm thinking about purchasing this addon to use on my site, but I would like to have it xhtml valid.

Thanks.

Hmmmm. Seems to be that there is one error in the script. Getting the following error:

Error  Line 131 column 28: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

<div id="sigid0" class="sig"><div class="sig_cont"><div class="sig_thumb"><a hre

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

mambots/content/plugin_jw_sigpro.php

line 263, change this:

				// if labels don't exist
				if (!$labels) {
					// display nice message?
					if ($displaymessage) {
						if ($popup_engine == 'greybox') {
						$html .= '<b>'.$itemtitle.'</b>'; // remove nice messages for Greybox
						} else {
						$html .= $message.'
<b>'.$itemtitle.'</b>';
						}
					} else {
					$html .= '<b>'.$images[$a].'</b>';
					}
				}
				
				// if labels do exist
				if ($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])]!="") {
					$html .= '<b>'.htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES).'</b>';
				}

to this

				// if labels don't exist
				if (!$labels) {
					// display nice message?
					if ($displaymessage) {
						if ($popup_engine == 'greybox') {
						$html .= $itemtitle; // remove nice messages for Greybox
						} else {
						$html .= $message.'
'.$itemtitle;
						}
					} else {
					$html .= $images[$a];
					}
				}
				
				// if labels do exist
				if ($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])]!="") {
					$html .= htmlentities($labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])],ENT_QUOTES);
				}

Thanks. I see that you removed the < b > tags to get it xhtml valid. But unfortunately the validator only gives this a warning. The actual error is given by:

Line 129 column 28: document type does not allow element "div" here; missing one of "object", "applet", "map", "iframe", "button", "ins", "del" start-tag.

<div id="sigid0" class="sig"><div class="sig_cont"><div class="sig_thumb"><a hre

This error shows up at all of the pop up engines. Any idea how to fix this?

This is a validator error, unless you have the gallery inside some <p> tag. Check your content item for that. Either way, validation is a means of making our site better, not a rule to follow constantly... ;)

Read the following for some nice insight on the matter:

Thanks for the links and the advice.
Got the page validated now, it was indeed wrapped inside <p> tags. Those tags were automaticly inserted by the wysig editor.

Look at the editor settings. It should have a p/br option on "Enter". Switch it to br (break). ;)
