Topic: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

I too would like a "scale-to-fit" option for the thumbs. I tried replacing the generated thumbs with my own sized to fit 100x100 px.
I have 10 images in this test gallery and when I open up the index.html only numbers 8 and 9 show up in the thumb preview. They show up correctly but the other boxes are black. When I click on one of the black thumbs it opens the right large image. I just started with this program and I really need the thumbs to show the entire image.

I have 10 images in this test gallery and when I open up the index.html only numbers 8 and 9 show up in the thumb preview.

Please post the URL to your gallery's web page so that I can take a look at the problem for myself and hopefully help.

Re: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

According to your gallery's 'config.xml' file, the first thumbnail in your gallery should be located here: http://yourspace.minotstateu.edu/russ.h … roup_1.jpg
... but going directly to that location in a browser results in an error 404 (file not found).

Please check that your thumbnail files have been uploaded to the correct location on your web server and that their permissions (and the permissions of the 'thumbs' folder itself) are not too restrictive.
Default permissions of 755 for folders and 644 for files should be fine.

Also, please see this FAQ which may help:
My images show locally, but not when I upload them to my website. Why?

Re: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

I will try your suggestions but I don't think that's the problem. The page displays the same when I open it locally.

Re: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

Here is my gallery test with the thumbs created with JuiceBox builder pro. In this case they show up both locally and from server.

Re: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

If your thumbnails are not displaying locally or on your web server, then please double-check that the thumbnail images exist in the 'thumbs' folder and that the thumbUrl entries in your gallery's 'config.xml' file exactly match the thumbnail filenames taking care with case-sensitivity, especially with file extensions. For example, on a case-sensitive web server, 'image.jpg' is not the same as 'image.JPG'.

The link you provided seems to be an incomplete URL. I get an error 404 (file not found) when opening the URL in a browser.

If you like, please zip the entire gallery folder that is causing you the problem, upload it somewhere (perhaps your web server or a file sharing service such as Dropbox or Google Drive) and post a download link.
If I am able to see the complete gallery (rather than trying to find individual files on your web server, not knowing what all the actual filenames of your images may be), I should hopefully have a better chance of figuring out the cause of your problem. Thank you.

Re: Fit in Square thumbnails [SOLVED]

Figured it out (big old duhh) It was not the naming conventions but I had generated the gallery using the default 85x85 thumb size and I had batched MY letter-boxed thumbs at 100x100px. When I replaced the thumbs in the folder with mine they were bigger. Still don't know why 2 of them showed up? When I generated the gallery using 100x100px and switched them out all is working.
Thanks for your help Steven.

I'm glad you've been able to figure it out. Thanks for letting me know.
