negative space around the picture

artpapa · November 6th, 2006, 09:35 PM

I want to add some Space to the popup full picture window.
I change something by editing the showfull.tmpl:
http://artpapa.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/6
But how can I control size of the opens browser?
I want browser to open, for example, with 1in. of the background around the picture.
For example if full image size 300x400 I want Popup window opens 400x500 so user will don’t have to scale or scroll the browser in order to see entire picture.
Thank you.
Alexei

Any ideas?

You may ask code modification questions outside the support forums in THE MOD CORNER

thank you, I put my question to the THE MOD CORNER this morning, so far my topic has only 2 Views.
Can you tell me please at least what files to edit, I'll try to figure out something by myself.
thank you

This was a legitimate question to ask and I don't understand why you were so quick to send this guy away without making a decent attempt to answer his question.

I will go ahead and call this a bug if that makes any difference, because there shouldn't have to be a 'mod' just to get a window to open that is properly sized for the photo that is being displayed. As it is now, any photo that is opened in a popup window needs to be scrolled. It is irritating and there is no reason for it. Is there?

This is how the developer has coded the application. Any question where someone asked how to modify there code to do something the application is not designed to do is a MOD QUESTION and falls outside product support. We do not support code modification or assist in such discussions as the support staff is here to assist in install issues, bugs and general use questions. He asked how to put a one inch border around the entire thing which clearly goes beyond what the popup window is suppose to do. Because someone does not like how a feature works does not necessitate that it is a bug.

Of course I don't like it. It doesn't work correctly. Are you trying to tell me a programmer would deliberately display a photo in a window that requires scrolling when a properly sized window would not??? There would be absolutely NO logic behind this.

This is a bug plain and simple. Where whould I report it?

The developer yes has coded the window to be 96% width and for it to be scrollable so it does not take over your entire display. It is a popup display so therefore say a large Photo of 2500x2500 would obviously have a scrollbar and should. You can edit your showfull template table to 100% but the popup window is still set to scrollbars="yes in the showphoto.php file and you would have to remove that in the java call to showfull.php.

You can report it as a bug if you wish but looking at the code it is not a bug and is how he coded it since it specifically has scrollbars set to yes.

As long as I edit showphoto.php and set scrollbars=yes to scrollbars=no and edit the showfull.tmpl and set 96% to 100% it probally does what you want

That didn't work. I changed 96% to 100% in showfull.tmpl and set scrollbars=no (in 2 places) in showphoto.php and all I get is a window with no scrollbars that is still improperly sized. See for yourself:

I agree, if you have a 2500 x 2500 photo, you need scrollbars. There is no reason on earth I should have to deal with scrollbars or a window that's too small for a photo the size of the one in the link above.

Currently I have the maximum photo size set to 1024 x 768 but I may reduce that. I just want people to be able to see the whole photo at once without changing the popup window to full screen mode.

jdelasko · March 4th, 2007, 09:54 PM

I changed it back to original settings. I guess I'll look into lightbox. At least it will display the entire photo.

You may mod files as you wish
