Setting the Size of Thumbnails

    Ok, so we got some uploaded images displaying randomly using this code:

    [mla_gallery recent_random_uploads="100,6" mla_link_href='{+site_url+}/?page_id={+parent+}']

    Problem is the thumbnail displayed is like 40px by 40px.

    I’ve tried numerous combinations of things in the short code like size=thumbnail but nothing is changing the display. I’ve even changed the size setting in the Attachment Display Settings under the General tab. Didn’t make a difference. Also tried to add some code I copied from a previous thread to center the image while displaying caption and title.
    Nothing. No change whatsoever.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks for adopting the recent_random_uploads code from the Displaying Random Images topic. Thanks as well for the link to your example page. It was a treat to see Bronco Nagurski pop up! When I was a small child I met him at his gas station in International Falls, MN.

    Your thumbnail size problem is a CSS/HTML issue not directly related to MLA code or features. You are displaying a row of six images in the sidebar, and they are being scaled to fit within the width of the sidebar. Changes to the image size are over-ruled by the need to fit in the “gallery” <div> inside the sidebar. If you want six images in one row, they have to fit.

    You can try adding columns=1 or columns=2 to the shortcode to break the items across multiple rows. You can also use custom markup and style templates to make more complex changes.

    If the above suggestions do not address your issue, give me a more specific idea of what you’d like the widget to look like and I can try to be more helpful. I will leave this topic unresolved until I hear back from you.

    Thanks David.
    Glad you got a kick out it.
    And yes, the column=1 and having only 1 or 2 images display seems to give a better size thumbnail though it doesn’t take up the whole sidebar. I’m using a plugin called Justified Image Grid that seems to have a lot of control over the thumbnails. I’ll investigate more later but it’s good enough right now.
    Thanks again and I’m sure I’ll have some more questions soon.

    Thanks for your update with the good news.

    Justified Image Grid is a fine choice; I’ve worked with the author and had a very positive experience.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but if you have problems or further questions regarding the thumbnail display please post an update.
