Max height and max width for thumbs

jackdaw

I have been reading all kinds of posts about this, including the info about the printCustomSizedImage(getImageTitle(), null, null, 120) etc., but I don't quite understand it yet.

In my albums I will have images (drawings, photographs) in all kinds of dimensions, from square to panorama.

I would like to have a max height for all the thumbs (120, so they can float nicely), but also within a max width. That means most images will actually be 120px high, but a panorama picture would become less than that because it needs to fit inside that max width.

What would be the correct parameters for printCustomSizedImage to achieve this?

I beleive there are no parameters to do that with one function. You would most likely have to do that with a if else construct like this (no working example of course!):
`if(landscape image) {

one size

} else {

other size

}`

Please see the functons guide, we have functions to get the width etc (I don't have the exact names in mind right now).

I've tried this

if (isLandscape()) { printCustomSizedImage(getImageTitle(), null, 190, null); } else { printCustomSizedImage(getImageTitle(), null, null, 120); }

and the result is promising, but as you can see the sizes are not exactly right. Middle bottom is too short, and bottom right is a bit too high.

Any idea if this can be done better? Can't think of anything else .

Ah... forget it. I don't even like how it looks this way , with the captions going up and down...
I think I'll put those panorama's inside another album with a custom theme, and the rest I'll keep to a fixed height...

Hope you weren't thinking about a solution yet :=)

Well, I personally like cropped thumbs best, because it looks cleaner and less fuzz than changing sizes. But anyway I would have suggested now to make a custom function for thumbs out of this template function (it was done for bascially the same but for the bigger sized image on image.php):
`function printCustomSizedImageMaxHeight($maxheight) {

if (getFullWidth() === getFullHeight() OR getDefaultHeight() > $maxheight) {

printCustomSizedImage(getImageTitle(), null, null, $maxheight, null, null, null, null, null, null);

} else {

printDefaultSizedImage(getImageTitle());

}

}`

This actually worked the last time and it even takes care of square image that can become to big. Maybe you want to give that a try.
