How do you upload the small pics under the category. Inside the empty box next where you have a category name

Chuck S · June 29th, 2006, 01:08 PM

As an admin you can view a photo within a category and hit MAKE INDEX THUMB

This will make it the cat avatar.

hey chuck can you a little bit more detail

Chuck S · June 30th, 2006, 08:43 AM

HMM more detailed than that above?

If your logged into the photopost application as admin when viewing a photo within a category you will see the MAKE INDEX THUMB link. You can click it and that image will become the category avatar.

Thanks chuck...i see it now....

So I have to upload a picture first them is when i can put it as the little pic next to the category...

Thats why they pay you the big bucks

Chuck S · June 30th, 2006, 10:02 AM

yes that is correct

club777 · July 1st, 2006, 09:26 AM

How many pics can 20 gigs approx. hold??

Chuck S · July 1st, 2006, 10:52 AM

No idea depends on the pictures but it is alot

A good estimate is probally 50 pics per MB

Can i set the photo uploads that if it exceeds a certain amount of pic size it resizes to a smaller size in kb..So it doesnt take that more memory???
And if I can how do i do it...

Chuck S · July 2nd, 2006, 03:11 PM

It is not pic size it is pic dimensions. Thus you can set this lower if you like. I use 124x768 and a 600 medium treshold

club777 · July 2nd, 2006, 04:43 PM

So youre talking about the Max allowable image width in pixels and the Max allowable image height in pixels right now its set at 2500 for both... 600 for the trigger medium...I know you gave me some settings that you use for your purposes...What do you suggest for a website like mine. Where probably people will be placing pics that they take from digital cameras..either theyll place them portrait and landscape...But ofcourse other sizes can come up..

On reviewpost...Next to the category how can i make that box bigger
example---www.hotbeachspots.com/reviewpost
then click on carnival cruise line ..when you get to the next page ..the box next to the each of the cruise line
Thanks

I would suggest 1024x768

which box the cat avatar?. Edit pp-inc.php the get_imagethumb function and replace the .5 which corresponds to half the thumbnail size with .75 or 1

club777 · July 3rd, 2006, 09:22 AM

So the width would be 1024 and the height would be 768. Putting it these sizes would save space????

On the thumb images ill leave it like it is...im not going to mess with any program issues. Put a number in the wrong place, probably change the whole site..lol
Let me get all 3 forums working on my site first, then later ill see if i change any settings in the program itself

Yes if they upload a 4000x2500 image it is resized down and compressed to your quality setting. I recomment using 70 quality for best compression without loss to quality
