Blog: Images in Slideshow Minimum Width

[David Blumenfeld]

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to Apostrophe version 1.4.1, and I was having trouble
using images in the blog. Whenever I try adding an image to media, it
says that it will only display images with a minimum width of 680
pixels. I saw that there was another post about this as well, where
someone recommended overriding the minimum width in
__singlecolumntemplate. I did this in the following code:
'aSlideshow' => array("width" => 480, "flexHeight" => true,
'resizeType' => 's', 'constraints' => array('minimum-width' => 480))
However, it is still telling me that I can only see images with a
minimum width of 680 pixels. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

Thank you,
David Blumenfeld

You should use Apostrophe 1.5. Especially if you are "fairly new" and
thus not married to 1.4. Please, don't suffer, we fixed so much (:

Your override looks okay, where did you put it?

I'd switch to the newer version but I'm pretty late in the development
process and don't want to switch over. I put it in
__singlecolumntemplate.php, is that the right place to put it?

Ok so I upgraded to apostrophe 1.5, and I put the following code in
__singlecolumntemplate.php:

'aSlideshow' => array("width" => 480, "flexHeight" => true,

'resizeType' => 's', 'constraints' => array('minimum-width' => 480)),
And it still will not let me post images with a width less then 680
pixels. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
David Blumenfeld

Any solutions to this? I can, using _singleColumnTemplate.php, change the fixed image size, but what I'm after is to prevent forced resizing of images in the blog: I understand why this is useful for the slideshow, but it's not good for posting pictures in blog posts, as I don't necessarily want them all to be the same size. Also, modifying the 'constraints' array seems to make no difference.

Cheers,

Alex

"width" was hardcoded in cropping action. We have trouble with aMedia module and its uploading and showing process. Somewhere we just use original image with "max-width:100%", so it`s automaticly resizes as inherited container.

Also checkout app.yml for:

      somePlugin

        slideshowOptions:

          width: 200

      aImage:

        width: 675

In template:
<?php $width = isset($width) ? $sf_data->getRaw('width') : 480; ?>

...

<?php a_area($name, array_merge(array(

...

  'aSlideshow' => isset($slotOptions['aSlideshow']) ? $slotOptions['aSlideshow'] : array(

    'width' => $width,

    'height' => $height,
