Topic: thumbnail or avatar size

When I see the preview photos of the members profiles on the homepage they appear a little too small.  I tried in cp to make them larger but couldn't seem to get it.  I tried changing the size of both thumbnails and avatars but neither worked.  Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thank you

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

A couple of things. When you make changes, the changes will only take effect at the time you make the change. Any previous images added will not be effected by the change.

You know, after all these years, I still get vlad terminology messed up. So can you take  screen shots of  the pages you want to change explaining what avatar or thumbnail you want to change.

I believe you will have several options through CSS, but before I give it a go, need a screen shot of the page for a thumbnail v.s. an avatar so I know the difference.

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

I guess I figured that the changes might only take place after the fact.  Last night I did a little test.  I changed the thumbnail size and uploaded a photo, then changed the avatar size and uploaded the photo.  Neither gave me what I was looking for.  I just took a screenshot but cannot figure out how to post it here.  I'm going to give it a try but in the meantime what I am talking about is say I clink on the first link in your sig and am taken to filipinaeyes.com, and scroll down just beneath the fold to where it lists new members, popular members, etc., these photos are slightly larger than the default setting that I have.  How did you accomplish this?  thanks

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

Hmmmm, I created a different template extension to do that. A little complex to explain. However, I still think there is a simpler way for you do do it if I knew what images you were trying to change.

1. Give me a link to an avatar example on your site.

2. Give me a link to a thumbnail example on your site.

I need to see what is on your site since mine has been customized quite a bit.

As far as displaying images on the forum you do this:

1. Upload image to your server

2. Use BBCode showing the path to the image? For example:

[img]http://www.filipinaeyes.com/images/eileen.jpg[/img]

http://www.filipinaeyes.com/images/eileen.jpg

Hey db3204,  thanks for all your help.  I spoke with vlad and he directed me towards webby2/media.  I was able to find what I was looking for in content.css line 526.  If you get a chance could you check out my comment on one of your blogs over at vldcrowd.  Very much appreciated.

Sorry, the pagination would not work on the home page.

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

Is there pagination at all on the home page or possibly any way to put it there?  What I have is any member that is logged in is shown on the homepage only the gender that they are looking for.  What I would like to do is set the number of photos displayed to unlimited but obviously when my membership increases this will be cumbersome and I would like to have it set up so I could have 40 or so on a page.

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

You could create a custom page and display whatever gender you wanted. For example, you could create a custom page and display the last 100 males who logged in and another custom pages showing the last 100 females that logged in.

OR

the last 100 new male members

Or

THE LAST 100 new lady members

Do you know how to create a custom page with a custom template? If not, you will need to learn that first. There are several tutors on the forum already.

Re: thumbnail or avatar size

This is kind of related.  I would like to display members the way they are in the search results, detailed.  I went into lib.account_login.php and changed the redirect to

"index.php?m=search&issearch=1&gender2&pictures_only=1"

to try and get logged in members redirected to a search for the gender they are looking for but this didn't work.  Is there any way I can tweek this code to make it work?
