Thumbnail Size

[rcreamer824]

Currently the thumbnail sizes on my site are quite large, while also only showing in a vertical format within each gallery. Can someone provide code that will reduce the size of the tumbmnails and also allow them to be listed horizontal (and ultimately vertical when there are enough? For example look at www.candidimaging.com (http://www.candidimaging.com) in the wedding galleries.

Thank you

Hi,

Gallery thumbs in your categories will be 150x150 until you add six galleries to the category. Once you have added the sixth gallery, the thumbs will reduce in size to 100x100 and go into two columns.

You can add some code to your CSS in your customization to make those gallery thumbs 2x2 instead of vertical, if you want:

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Just curious... Is there was any way to force that to large thumbs even after 6 galleries?

Thanks!

Unfortunately there isn't.

rats.. oh well. I think that will be on my wish list. Actually even larger than large would be pretty cool.

Appreciate the info!

I want the same thing - but several months ago I decided to spin my own html-only pages that I'm using instead of smug's category & subcategory pages. I used custom sizes for my thumbs - http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-photo-sizes. Right now I have my "thumbs" set to 220x220. I really like the look, but it means that whenever I add a gallery or set of galleries that I also need to update my own versions of the category pages.

I'd be happy to share the code I use if you're interested. (Or of course you can look at my page with web dev...)

Ahh... yeah, I see what you mean. That is a great workaround... hmmm and gives me some cool ideas. I may have to try some things when I get some extra time. Thanks for the tip!

Take care!

I have spent the weekend revamping my site and I have to admit I'm pretty happy with it. The last two things I'd like to do is. Increase my thumbnail sizes on my galleries page (and all pages within). I really like the sizing of your thumbnails and hoping that you can help me get there. The other thing I'm I'm trying to figure is drop down menus. I followed the tut. and I got everything that I wanted however everything was visible at one time. I took the code out until I could find out if there is a special trick.

I got the larger thumbs by using html-only galleries in place of the smugmug category and subcategory pages. You can easily see the (html) code by doing a view source on my gallery page or on any of my category pages. You will also need CSS to support those pages (which you can easily see by using web dev in Firefox).

Keep in mind that I had to build html-only pages for every category and subcategory. Every time I add a photo gallery, I need to alter an html-only gallery, and I often need to add a new html-only gallery as well.

Before you head down this path, please make sure you're ready to undertake the maintenance of the structure - you are essentially throwing out the ease-of-use that smugmug provides.

I'm very happy with the look of my site, and I don't mind needed to add html-only galleries and update existing html-only galleries each time I add a "real" photo gallery. I suspect that most other people wouldn't be willing to do this.

I think I will agree with all the others. Your site looks beautiful but I just don't think I'm up to that task- after all I can't even get the drop down menu working properly.
Thanks for the quick reply,
