How can I integrate the photosizes functionality into the Slider theme? I am trying to upload high-def pictures, let Gallery create a 640x640 version, then use this version in Slider. I know Matrix does this, and gives a selector to download any size - I do not need this, I'm just trying to reduce download times.

I know I can rtfm and spend a couple of days trying to understand these templates, but I'm hoping some kind person out there has done this before and can give me the ten minute version!

Thanks

John

What do you want? From your description I see 2 different options.

Edit your theme, probably extensively, to have the photo sizes option. Or don't give users access to the full size original. Only have the one resized version of 640x640 and only give them access to the thumbnail and the resized version.

See Edit Permissions for your album.

Thanks Nivekiam - I thought there would be an easy way to do it, it just took someone who knew what they were doing.

Changed permissions, and all now working perfectly.
