Gallery Thumbnails

Phrogdriver

First, let me thank everyone here for all the great work on this site. I've found so much info just cruising around. However, there is one thing I can't seem to figure out. I am trying to increase the thumbnail size in my "second" gallery page Here. I just want to make these bigger since they will be the only links on the page. I'd love to have them about 300px wide. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.

Maybe this will help. This is the html code that I want to change. Bu,t, I don't know how to get at it. I want the "Size=Tiny" gone and replace it with either a different default size or my own px dimentions. Hopefully this will help someone much smarter than I to figure this out. Thans again for the help. And, I don't know how to write code...just copy and paste from stuff I find online, so please show me how to do this.

div class="miniBox"><img class="twisty"><div class="photo"
img class="twisty" a href="/Around%20the%20World"
img class="imgBorder" border="0" src="/photos/random.mg?
AlbumID=4922560&Size=Tiny&AlbumKey=F9u2e&rand=7698"/

Unfortunately, the size of the thumbs is not something that you can control.

I had the same wish, and a few weeks ago I changed my site to use html-only pages for all of my categories so that I could control the size. (Of course that means that I will need to maintain those pages as I add more galleries to the site, so you may not be interested in making this type of change on your site.) You can see the effect by clicking through from the Gallery page on my site. And you can see my feature request for user-controlled thumb sizes at http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=824748&postcount=328.

It would be possible to write JavaScript that would examine the DOM of your page and modify the HTML to display a larger size version of the image instead of the thumb. You might then have to modify the CSS too for proper layout. You could wander over to the customization forum and ask for some help there. There are many other customizations that do this sort of JavaScript, but I don't have the time right now to try to write this one.

Thanks for the help. I'll see what I can find. It can never be easy, can it?
