zenpage theme cover photo

haroon

Hi

Regarding zenpage theme installed on my site: www.outzeal.com, I request/suggest:

1) For an option that can make it possible to put a cover photo right at the top of the page (above the black strip). The search box can then come down on the black strip (aligned right). There's a lot of space wasted at the top just to cater for the title and a search box.

2) Size of the gallery thumb nails to be a bit bigger. Album thumbnails are ok.

Thanks

1) Please open a request (new "issue") on GitHub.

2) You can change the thumb size by changing the parameters in `printCustomAlbumThumbImage(getBareAlbumTitle(), NULL, 95, 95, 95, 95)`
in `gallery.php`

EDIT: Sorry I did not read correctly.
2) You can change the image thumb size by replacing
`
printImageThumb(getBareImageTitle())
`
by
`
printCustomSizedImage()
`
in `album.php`

See http://www.zenphoto.org/documentation/functions/_template-functions.php.html#functionprintCustomSizedImage
on how to use the function.

Thanks

I could not find the proper place where features requests are to be made on github, can u please send me the link.

I had a try at printCustomSizedImage() along with the template function help but was unable to get the results e.g. How would you write this function to show a thumbnail for a size 150x150.

You have to register with GitHub first.
You can then open an "issue" here:
https://github.com/zenphoto/zenphoto/issues

Try this for your image thumbnails:
`<?php printCustomSizedImage(getBareImageTitle(), NULL, 150, 150, 150, 150, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, true, NULL); ?>`

1) Generelly please note: The theme in this form will not really get new features by me as it is meant to be completely reworked and redesigned next year anyway. It was meant for 1.4.6 but time issue permitted that I even started. Making an option to select an image from all albums is possible.
You can try this sideways plugin by me:
https://github.com/acrylian/featured_image
Note this is only for featured images for Zenpage news items (news,categories and pages). But for other pages you can more easily do this directly on the theme.

But you could open a ticket on that repository so I could add an general image selection maybe as an admin overview page utility button. In any case you would have to modify the theme. I thought about that and if there is demand I might add that.

2) Themes are of course a suggestion to be customzied. You might have have to modify the theme's CSS as well to fit larger thumbs. (Note the new theme as planned will be completely responsive so all will be fluid and thumbs sizes not directly changable without CSS, too).

thanks

i am already registered. i thought the suggestion page was somewhere else. thanks for the link anyway.

This

<?php printCustomSizedImage(getBareImageTitle(), NULL, 150, 150, 150, 150, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, true, NULL); ?>

will infringe on the album description area I think.

Anyway thanks for the help but I've customized all the design I was requesting through style sheet. Its working ok

see the new look www.outzeal.com

Yes, sure, just using a background images like this would be the best way for static layout images like this.

This <function> will infringe on the album description area I think

I thought you wanted to change the image thumb size ?
You have no descriptions there.

acrylian

So probably the album thumbs were meant. Yes, that of course requires more changes to the theme to have space for the description.
