Size of Category Image

[vFranky]

Hello,

I would like to have a greater category image (category thumbnail), see attachment. What do I have to do?

Thank you in advance!

Regards,
Frank

EDIT: The correct name is "index thumbs", how to change the size?

The index thumb is set to half the thumbnail size so unless you actually hack your code in pp-inc.php in say the get_thumbtmpl function you cant change it.

A hack would be killed by an update.
Okay, no bigger index thumb.

Thank you!

[Chuck S]

yes any hacks would be killed by update

Chuck,

I see that there are no index thumbs for the highest categories. Is there an option to specify them manually?

If a category contains no images you need to move an image there tag it like any other category when viewing the photo hit make index thumb and then move the photo back to the original cat.

It's not a trick, it's PhotoPost.

Chuck,

it does NOT work, look at the attachment. I move the image to the category, make it the index thumbnail (it works) and then move it back to the orginal folder. But after it, there appears a dummy thumbnail "no thumbnail", see attachment.

What is to do?

well its a trick because you can tag an image that exists in a category as an avatar but you use to be able to tag an image on a cat that did not have an image and it show

so what is the path of the image it is looking for?

I'd like this as well and would like to know what I need to hack in order to get a bigger category thumbnail (index thumb).

[Chuck S]

yes you would have to hack the avatar size in the get_imagethumb function in pp-inc.php
