Thumbnail size same width

Hello again

I was searching trough forums to find the answer but didn't find it. So here's the thing:
Once there was a way to make thumbnails the same width, so you could put them in 1 column and the width of all thumbs was the same. That hack worked in 1.3.3 and I remember that I tried it in 1.4.something and it returned an error. Is there some way to do it? I've seen something similar in your gallery.

Thanks, Luka

italjet.

have you still got a copy of that hack? I wouldn't mind having a look...

otherwise... who's the best person in the forum ask?

Uniform thumb widths look better in single columns, which is the layout I'm trying to acheive.

Are uniform widths a gallery 2 thing? I might jsut jump the gun if they are...

hdotnet,

Yeah I probably want the same layout as you, and I'm working on it. Keep me posted of your progress, so we can do it faster.

just got a fixed thumbnail width of 150px using a fresh install using ImageMagick

installed as normal
open up util.php, search for Geomotry
should take you to the compress_image function...
edit as per the comments in the code below:

function compress_image($src, $out, $target, $quality, $keepProfiles=false) {
	global $gallery;

	if ($target === 'off') {
		$target = '';
	}
	switch($gallery->app->graphics)	{
		case "NetPBM":
			$err = exec_wrapper(toPnmCmd($src) .
				(($target > 0) ? (' | ' .NetPBM('pnmscale',
				" -xysize $target $target")) : '')
				. ' | ' . fromPnmCmd($out, $quality));
			/* copy over EXIF data if a JPEG if $keepProfiles is
			 * set. Unfortunately, we can't also keep comments. */ 
			if ($keepProfiles && eregi('\.jpe?g$', $src)) {
				if (isset($gallery->app->use_exif)) {
					exec_wrapper(fs_import_filename($gallery->app->use_exif, 1) . ' -te '
						. fs_import_filename($src, 1) . ' '
						. fs_import_filename($out, 1));
				} else {
					processingMsg(_('Unable to preserve EXIF data (jhead not installed)') . "\n");
				}
			}
			break;
		case "ImageMagick":
			$src = fs_import_filename($src);
			$out = fs_import_filename($out);
			/* Preserve comment, EXIF data if a JPEG if $keepProfiles is set. */
			$err = exec_wrapper(ImCmd('convert', "-quality $quality "
					. ($target ? "-size ${target}x${target} " : '')
					. ($keepProfiles ? ' ' : ' +profile \'*\' ')					
					. $src
/*
## start Image Magick fixed width size hack
*/
					. ($target ? " -geometry 150x800 " : '')// change width times height value here
					//. ($target ? " -geometry ${target}x${target} " : '')

/*
## end Image Magick fixed width size hack
*/

					. $out));
			break;
		default:
			if (isDebugging())
				echo "<br>" . _("You have no graphics package configured for use!")."<br>";
			return 0;
			break;
	}
}

uploaded a load of landscape and portrait photos and all thumbs are now processed using a fixed width.... yet they're aspect ratio remains the same..

result.

found a fix....
just have to fiddle with compress_image in Util.php a little:

function compress_image($src, $out, $target, $quality, $keepProfiles=false) {
	global $gallery;

	if ($target === 'off') {
		$target = '';
	}
	switch($gallery->app->graphics)	{
		case "NetPBM":
			$err = exec_wrapper(toPnmCmd($src) .
				(($target > 0) ? (' | ' .NetPBM('pnmscale',
				" -xysize $target $target")) : '')
				. ' | ' . fromPnmCmd($out, $quality));
			/* copy over EXIF data if a JPEG if $keepProfiles is
			 * set. Unfortunately, we can't also keep comments. */ 
			if ($keepProfiles && eregi('\.jpe?g$', $src)) {
				if (isset($gallery->app->use_exif)) {
					exec_wrapper(fs_import_filename($gallery->app->use_exif, 1) . ' -te '
						. fs_import_filename($src, 1) . ' '
						. fs_import_filename($out, 1));
				} else {
					processingMsg(_('Unable to preserve EXIF data (jhead not installed)') . "\n");
				}
			}
			break;
		case "ImageMagick":
			$src = fs_import_filename($src);
			$out = fs_import_filename($out);
/*
## start Image Magick fixed width size hack
*/
			list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize($src);
			if($height > $width){
							$geometryString = " -geometry 150x800 ";
			}else{
							$geometryString = " -geometry ${target}x${target} ";
			}
			/* Preserve comment, EXIF data if a JPEG if $keepProfiles is set. */
			$err = exec_wrapper(ImCmd('convert', "-quality $quality "
					. ($target ? "-size ${target}x${target} " : '')
					. ($keepProfiles ? ' ' : ' +profile \'*\' ')					
					. $src
					. ($target ? $geometryString : '')// change width times height value here
/* 
## end Image Magick fixed width size hack 
*/ 
					//. ($target ? " -geometry ${target}x${target} " : '')
					. $out));
			break;
		default:
			if (isDebugging())
				echo "<br>" . _("You have no graphics package configured for use!")."<br>";
			return 0;
			break;
