Design and Skin Customization

SteveX:Ok thanks Brian. I'll update later tonight (when the isp works best, 3am).

But I must say, I expect I won't find a way to do what I want with images. If it were possible, you'd have used it on the PhotoPro skin demo - it looks a nice enough skin, but the galleries list and detail pages look terrible with the current demo content. Squished images on a website/demo are a complete turnoff for anyone who knows what an aspect ratio is. Or do Paul's band really look like that? Hmmm, that's a possibility I guess ;)

Resizing images has always been an issue - there's really no solution to handling photos which may come in all different shapes and sizes. I will check out the photo pro skin - we may have overlooked adding some crops in places.

The "fill" crop was designed to hopefully help the issue, as it maintains the aspect ratio of the image, but guarantees the resulting images will all be the same size.

If you have suggestions, I'm all ears ;)

Thanks!

What Cloud Server Solutions Are Best For Jamroom


Jamroom Hosting

Ekwe:230gb?

OK that's a big site - DO is going to be expensive.

I'd recommend a dedicated server from someone like OVH:

If you can manage it on your own. If you need a managed server (i.e. someone else does the sysadmin work for you) let me know and I can recommend something.

Hope this helps!

So when you create a new video, you are not seeing that message on the video detail page telling you it will appear after being processed?

OK this should be fixed now - update to the Image Support module 1.1.6 and let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks!

Yeah something else is adding the width/height in - let me see if I can figure it out.

Actually looking at the code, you need to specifically set the height or width to false depending on what one you do not want - i.e.

width=200 height=false

Let me know if that helps

Design and Skin Customization

SteveX:Ok, so that's actually 1, 2 and 3 which aren't possible.

What I'm trying to do is set up a skin, preferably not limited to square images so its also suitable for photos, films and video, but where images are not displayed squished. I can't find a way to achieve that at all. Any ideas?

You should be able to just set the height OR width - not both - and then select a "size" that is just over what you need, then it will maintain the aspect ratio of the image. That should work.

When you upload a video is that message not showing on the video detail page? Do you have conversions enabled on the quota?

I see both width and height being set in the HTML... so it's coming out of JR properly.
