Picture Size in Slideshow plugin for content

Post by LittleGrizzly »

Hello,
now I decided to use phoca gallery for my website and I love it. Nice work :twisted:

But now I tried to show a slideshow in a content item. The editor button works well, but I have a little problem with the possible sizes of the slideshow.

Here ( http://testforum.grizzly-adams.de/index ... panther-61 ) you can see what I mean: The first slideshow with size "L" is to big for the page.
The second slideshow uses Size "M", which is a little bit to small for me. Where can I set a size between L and M? Is it depending on those configurations (my gallery speaks german like me normally):
Große Bildbreite
Große Bild höhe
Mittlere Bildbreite
Mittlere Bild höhe
Geringe Bildbreite
Geringe Bild höhe
These settings have to be set BEFORE thumbnails are created. How can I change this after it? Deleting all thumbnails and create it again (over 5000 pics)? When I have to show the slideshow in size M and I set the size in "Mittlere Bildbreite und Mittlere Bild höhe" to e.g. 320x240, will the new created thumbnails in the categories have the same size? When is the size in "Geringe Bildbreite und Geringe Bild höhe" used?

Second question doesn´t really fit in here but I don´t want to start a second thread for one little problem :wink:
My pics have different sizes, sometimes 800x*** or ***x800. The width/height of 800 is fix, due to the format
How can I set up the gallery for showing always the real size in the detailview? Sometimes the 800 is the height, sometimes the width of my pics. In detailview, pics with the height 800 are cropped, and I don´t like it very much

I hope you untersand what I mean, or should I better switch to german language...

Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi, yes, it depends on these settings. Yes, they needs to be changed and after changing them you need to recreate thumbnails again. You can do it with the icon in image list in administration but the best way is to remove thumbnails by FTP and Phoca Gallery will automatically create new.

2) In detail view you can display large thumbnails - they are allways the same if you will not change the settings for different e.g. categories or images. There are different methods to display images in detail window. Some can display image sizes as they are (image methods) some not (iframe methods). Some of them (e.g. Highslide JS) can display original images instead large thumbnails - all this can be set in parameters. So e.g. the solution can be you will use Highslide JS - image only method and you will set the original images will be displayed.
