Image Sizes?

Sorry if im missing something really obvious but how do I set what size the thumbnails and main images etc are when they have been uploaded, at the moment the thumbnails are 110px? Also can I have different sizes for say the parent thumbnails and child galleries thumbnails?

Sorry if im being silly.

Cheers
Brett

Hi Brett,

see here: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/MaxiGallery

Parameters:
&max_big_size ( &keep_bigimg )
&max_pic_size
&max_thumb_size

Hi Sharkbait,

Just realised how simple it was cheers!!

But another question, when I hit my gallery page how do I have it so that the the thumbnails that link though to the child galleries are bigger then the thumbnails created within that gallery if that makes sense?

Brett

you would need to create a custom childgallery Template http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/MaxiGallery#childgalleryTpl

for additional sizes you could also use phpThumb http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,41309.0.html

Hi SharkBait,

I have got that tpl file in front of me, but how do i go about setting a different width, do I put it in as a pixel atribute?

I have done this so far, and although its works the image is very bad quality as if it been sized up from an initial much smaller size, the image I uploaded was much bigger then all, so im confused??

<img src="[(base_url)][+maxigallery.path_to_gal+]tn_[+maxigallery.picture.filename+]" width="280" class="thumbnail" title="[+maxigallery.strings.go_to_gallery+]" alt="[+maxigallery.strings.go_to_gallery+]" style="float: left;"/>

Cheers

You need to use phpThumb in the template and input the normal image to it, so it will resize it to the size you want. Check the second link what sharkbait posted above.

That all seems very complicated, isnt there a way I can change the default sizes that maxigallary has set for images when uploaded, like small, medium and large??
