adjust thickbox thumbnails in old Indexhibit version

philcutt / 2013-10-28 19:09:55   

Hi,
I have looked through of the forums for a way to easily change the size of my thumbnails using thickbox, and based on what I found I have tried to alter them in my c-panel with no success. Can anyone help me resolve this ? I am still running the older version of Indexhibit. I imagine I have to alter the code in one of the .php files, but cannot seem to do it successfully. Any help greatly appreciated.

c panel?
A code editor is what you need to edit it in...
Each format is using linked or inline css. In this case it's ndxz-studio>site>css>jquery.thickbox.css
To find out which css selector you want to affect use Firebug the FIrefox plugin.

Thanks so much arsondpi, I've tried that , used firebug , but cant find the line i need to change?
Is - ndxz-studio>site>css>jquery.thickbox.css - a general thickbox css, or do i have to find the css in the particular style I am using on the site ?
Are you able to locate the line using firebug and paste it here?
Thanks again!

No, a code editor. Like Coda (which is also an FTP app).

Then, you can follow the paths posts above and edit files.

Hi Vaska, thanks for your help. I have a code editor in my just host cpanel, its just i cant find the actual line to change the specific value in - ndxz-studio>site>css>jquery.thickbox.css

ok. i don't know the line - thickbox was actually created by somebody else. i simply reconfigured it to work with indexhibit.

philcutt / 2013-10-28 23:30:34   

ok. Thnaks anyway ....in the css it typically says '

min-height:100%;
    height: auto;
    _height:100%;

I know the images are set at 133px high , but cant find that value anywhere to change it ?

I made that seven years ago now - I don't remember much. And I only work on v2 these days.

In exhibit.thickbox.php you want to look for the line where the image is generated - you will find a $height kind of variable there. The problem (for you), is that it is calculated based upon the thumbnails themselves. Simply changing that value might not yield good results.

In v2 this was replaced with the Visual Index format and overlay. It's not identical to Thickbox but people are welcome to customize things.

okay thanks, I cant find any value to change in exhibit.thickbox.php. Im gonna give up and go to V2 i guess.

Thanks

i actually tried to find that file on my computer and i can't find a copy of it - i think it's two laptops ago. ;)

philcutt / 2013-10-28 23:55:51   

ha! Thanks anyway

our demo is probably a mess, but make sure you get an idea how visual index can do this for you...

i guess i should clean it up tomorrow. ;)

Vaska A / 2013-10-29 00:01:23   

actually, it's not bad. i removed a bunch of things not long ago so it couldn't go crazy on us...

philcutt / 2013-10-29 12:17:56   

Thanks Vaska, can you please give me a link to the most straightforward instructions on upgrading to V2.

thanks again!

Vaska A / 2013-10-29 12:21:30   

The instructions found in the Help section aren't good enough?

philcutt / 2013-10-29 17:51:33   

cool, will re-visit those. Thanks again for your help.
