Multimedia Thumbnail Index Thumb

ghinton · November 19th, 2009, 08:13 AM

I changed the size of the index thumbnails in pp-inc.php to their normal size by changing * .5 to * 1. All photo categories change to their normal size, except the one for my movies, where the thumbnail is created with ffmpeg. When I look at the information for the image it shows that it has a normal sized thumbnail, but it is still being resized by half. Is there another place which defines the size of the index thumbnails other than pp-inc.php?

Its not defined anywhere else.

We are not actually resizing an image in half here the avatar is just a thumbnail displayed at 50% of its width height etc hense the .5

The code is quite specific and you would catch your hacking issue by looking here.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Your multimedia images are limited to 50 x 37 unless of course you maybe remove the is_multimedia thing on the first line part.

In fact if your not going to resize anything down why not just comment out the whole section of code?

Thanks! I hadnt messed with multimedia, so I will jus comment everything out. The full sized thumbs look much better than the resized in my opinion

A question/suggestion related specifically to VB4:

The forum-style index layout is currently using the class=\"forumicon\" when vb4 style integration is turned on. This class also seems to include the icon size (style var "foumicon_size"), in other words the gallery thumbails are going to match the size of the forum icons. When using a skin with smaller icons, they can turn out very small.

For some reason only the width is inherited though, playing around with some of the comments mentioned above, I had no problem adjusting the height. Removing the reference to the forumicon class gives control over size back, but obviously has some undesired effects.

Would be great if this dependency between forumicons/gallerythumbs for vb4 could be removed in one of the next releases. Thanks.

yeah there is nothing I can post to help you there for the icon to appear in that vb4 style categories template that style class must be used.
