Where to limit the size of a photo clicked via POTD?

    Currently i’m setting up a fresh installation and did some testing with WPPA Version 6.3.17. I observed that a photo clicked via the Photo of the day wigdet will be scaled larger as it is. I use random photo display for POTD but this should make no difference.

    Tested with a photo which has a size of 586×900 and it was scaled to 807×1239.

    Checked out Table I and the Photo of the day settings but found no switch where i can prevent overscaling or setting a maximum size.

    Maybe i looked at the wrong place, so a little help is appreciated.
    BTW, in Table I, menu A3 is missing, so perhaps i had to look there but cannot see it. I see Table 1 A1, 1.1, 2 and 4 and so on.

    Table I-A3 appears when you tick Table I-A2; you can specify in A3 the size to resize to when you set resizing on. It’s not displayed when you do not resize on upload.

    What is the setting in Table VI-A1 under Link Type? So i know what happens when you click on the potd image.

    Thanks a lot for the hint. The problem was caused by the setting in VI-A1. The link type was “the fullsize photo on its own”. Changing that to lightbox, or “the content of the album” works. Unfortunately the members (i’m running buddypress) cannot rate or comment the single photo, they need to fish out the photo of the content of the album. So to add a option “single photo within a album” is perhaps a good idea to make that work.

    Perfect would be a lightbox with a ability to rate and comment. Just as a idea for future use.

    The alternate way of setting a size: Dashboard -> Photo Albums -> Sidebar Wigdet cannot be used cause i see no “Sidebar Widget” menu element within Photo Albums.

    And there is one more problem, but i do not think for you. The comments of the photo cannot be read. Black letters on dark grey background are nearly invisible. I’m using a dark theme named raindrops. It deals perhaps with a CSS somewhere Buddypress or Raindrops theme. I will need to look deeper in that. Perhaps a simple change of the font color (i saw that i can customize that within WPPA) solves it. So, nothing for you at the moment.

    Many thanks again for fast answer.
