photoblog thumbnails not showing

d_cee · Post by **d_cee** » Sat Dec 31, 2005 7:13 pm

Hi
hope you can help.
When I upload a photo to my photoblog, I select the radio button for show thumbnail but it doesn't 'stick' and the large image appears in the post instead.

Also, is there a way to limit the width that the large photo is displayed at in the blog post - so that it is no wider than the column it appears in?

I'm setting up at blog.beingadad.info.

cheers

Hi!

Hm, that's not how it's supposed to be. Which browser are you using, and do you get any javascript errors?

Which event plugins are you using?

You can only restrict the size of the thumbnail photo; the original image's dimensions are always left as they were uploaded by you!

Best regards and a good 2006,
Garvin

Hi Garvin

thanks for your reply

I'm using Firefox and Safari on Mac OSX 10.4.2.

I cleared the javascript console in Firefox and uploaded another photoblog image, had a look at the entry - no errors (although the photo in my other photoblog entry now doesn't show unless I click on the title to open it individually)

Event plugins

Markup: Serendipity
Markup: Emoticate
Markup: NL2BR
Browser Compatibility
Spam Protector
Spartacus
Photoblog Entries
Link List
Discussion forum (forum)
Amazon Media Button
Statistics
Extended properties for entries

cheers and happy new year to you

Dave

hi!

Hm, this error is really strange, and I can'T reproduce it. Would you be able to create me a (temporary) account on your blog so I could try to insert it from my browser? That might help me find the real problem...

Best regards,
Garvin

I just tested it, and it seems that the developer of the plugin intended to always show the full images within the post. At least, the thumbnail portion is stripped intentionally from the filename. Maybe you can ask the author (riken @ users.sourceforge.net), why that is done and if he'd like to change that?

There is a way to insert a thumbnail image to an entry with just the usual s9y media library, by clicking on the "Insert media" link in your toolbar (the icon with several pixels in a row)...

BTW, you shouldn't post clear-passwords here on the list, I forgot to tell you to only mail it to me personally....so I edited the original post.

Regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin

thanks for taking a look for me. I'll mail riken now.

I thought it was a bit stupid of me to post the pw but I'd done it by then!

As a precaution I made a back-up of the site straight after I posted - just in case. Thanks too for taking it out of the post.

cheers
