Hi I have looked through various threads but cant figure this out. I am trying to change the width of my images and text box to the right of my site. When I upload the image in the over and over setting its reduced. I save images for web so I just need to know how change it so my so my images come up larger. The text area also seems very narrow.

Hope this makes sense.

You can change the image resize size. In your case, set it to "9999" or "full" so it doens't resize your images at all. Then, just upload them at the width you want them to be...

You can adjust the width of paragraphs in the style.css file...two places...look for...

  1. #content p { ... }
  2. #img-container p { ... }

And change the 'width' accordingly (default is 400).

Thanks for your superfast reply Vaska, like to add would never have been able to get this far without Indexhibit, superb!

Just to clarify, to change image size which file would I alter? Is it the defaults.php?

Thanks alot
Hannah

Don't know if I understood your question right...
I also just started to learn about indexhibit...

To change the width of the imageboxes go in your style.css and change: #img-container

At my page it looks like this:

  1. #img-container p {
  2.     margin: 0;
  3.     padding: 0 0 12px;
  4.     text-align: center;
  5.     width: 1000px;

Change it deppending on how big your pictures are.

Nikolai is talking about something different...

To change the size of your images, when you are editing a page, just choose a different image size (it's at the right). Then, when you load images, they will not be resized (if you follow my instructions above).
