Gallery - Thumbnail Resizing Preferences
Development and Programming
Hello,
I’m having problems in getting the correct size when uploading images - I’d like to eg. get all my small thumbs either 120x90 (landscape) or 90x120 (portrait) with maintained aspect ratio. I thought that setting the Thumbnail Width x Height parameter to 120x120 would lead to the desired result, but it doesn’t. it seems to me that EE doesn’t check whether there is a portrait or landscape image uploaded.
Is there a quick fix to this issue.
Thank you
Edit: setting var $master_dim = ‘auto’ solves the resizing issue when creating the thumbnail - however, I hope there is a setting somewhere so I don’t have to mess around with the code. Nevertheless, using {thumb_width} and {thumb_height} still shows the wrong dimensions - let’s say, I set 150x150 in the gallery thumbnail parameter - when I have a landscape image, thumb_width show 200 and thumb_height shows 150 instead of 150 and 113 respectively.
Edit: another issue I discovered is the followig - having the following watermark text: “© Copyright 2007” and clicking on the “Test Your Watermark Settings” works fine - However, when creating the thumbnails, the ©ascii doesn’t get converted into the copyright sign like this © - it just shows “& copy;”

landscape/portrait and aspect ratio smartness would be very nice idd!
I think it’s absolutely needed - I had to take out the width and height markup tags in order to use it at all?!
am I missing something here or is this a confirmed bug?
I’m finding the exact same issue as you mmjaeger. Seems like a bug to me, though you’d thinks something as obvious as this would not go so unnoticed?
you’re right - seems to be pretty obvious. what also kind of bugs me is that the EE team not even takes notice of this post - at least not yet; I have been using modx so far and I always appreciated the excellent support I was getting there although it “only” an Open Source project - at the moment, I feel kind of disappointed about the support I’m getting here for a piece of code that I had to by a licence - I’m afraid I will move back to modx soon - feels like I have wasted some money here!
There is a setting in the config file that you have to set manually to maintain aspect ratio. Let me see if I can find the thread.
please see this in my first post: setting var $master_dim = ‘auto’ solves the resizing issue when creating the thumbnail -
setting var $master_dim = ‘auto’Where does this go and what does it do exactly? Sounds good…
Thanks .
You would probably get more official response if you posted in either the technical support forum or the bug forum. It is unfortunate (although understandable considering the traffic) that mod and official posts somewhat rare outside of those two forums.

Perfect! That link explains it. Thank you.
