Re: square thumbnails with phpThumb

Let me explain.

Concerning the path, tomorrow I’ll test combinations.

Concerning the thumbnails...

I need to have squared thumbnails, BUT I would like to mantain the images height/width percentage.
So the solution is to have little thumbnails (of the entire image) like that, and then include them in a square, exactly like the ones you see in that site. I want phpThumb to automatize the process, since the thumbnails you see in that page were hand made

Cheers,

Roberto

Doze, sorry one more thing, I have set 0 to the thumbnails Ul li n the default maxigallery css and I have deleted the code from mygalleryPictureTpl that denoted the width of the thumbnails so all of my thumbnails are butting up but there is still a space in between the rows? I cannot for the life of me think where to look next. I’ve gone through all of the default maxigallery css and the templates as well as the css for slimbox etc to se if there was anything there but I have no idea where this 5 px gap is coming from?

Please see screenshot.

Hi One_Phantom,

but I have no idea where this 5 px gap is coming from

try this:

Adding display:block should do it:

ul.thumbs li img {

display:block

other stuff...

}

cheers guys. Both of these methods worked.

Well the same answer applies.. you can do that with only maxigallery or with phpThumb. With using just maxigallery, you can set the max size for the thumbnails and picture dimensions are kept when resizing. Then use css to make the thumbnails reserve certain size square area. Or you can use phpThumb to make the thumbnails be like that, use following phpThumb parameters &far=C&h=60&w=60.

I have not read this thread in depth. I will do so asap.

But I am very interested in the concept.

It would be great to use MaxiGallery to upload pics from the manager, with one of the newer jquery lightbox scripts to add full size image display flourish, and have some kind of script that will take all the thumbnails and center crop them into neat consistent rows, regardless if the full size images are horizontal, vertical, square or narrow panoramic...

Yes?

PS: Is there a live page example with this working to look at?

didn’t quite get the point of your post, but if that was a question, then yes it’s possible with maxigallery+managermanager+(phx)phpthumb+lightbox script of your choosing..

Do you need to have phx inorder for this to work?

Help! I know phpThumb is working, because the cache fills up with every page load, but I can’t figure out why the thumbnails aren’t showing up. I’m running GD, no ImageMagick. I tried installing PHx, but that didn’t make any difference - the cache still fills up before and after I enable/disable the plugin. This is a local MAMP installation.

Here is my code for &galleryPictureTpl:


And here is my code for phx:phpthumb:


P.S. I’m using MODx 1.0.5 and I removed the base_url tags in some spots and tested - the cache is still filling up, and the thumbs are still not showing up. Please help!

UPDATE: I replaced all the deprecated ereg() type functions. Now the pictures are showing up, but it is the original, not the thumbnails. I will be researching this, but if you can let me know a quick fix I’d appreciate it.

UPDATE: *sigh* after much frustration and many hours, I am going to implement the CSS fix instead of the phpThumb fix, as it will be more transferable than the phpThumb fix, and it also seems as though the phpThumb project isn’t supported so much anymore.
