Problems with image gallery

Hi Joe - there are a couple of problems with the immage gallery

1. When you upload a file using the image gallery - it has a missing image. http://demo.mojoportal.com/ImageGallery/EditImage.aspx?mid=2765&pageid=1465

2. If you upload a portrait image - it ignores the vertical thumbnail size as you can see here http://demo.mojoportal.com/neil-test.aspx

Re: Problems with image gallery

Hi Neil,

1. an easy fix. I've fixed it here so it will be fixed in the next release.

2. Not sure of a perfect solution. You can't really force all thumbnails to be the same size and also preserve the aspect ratio of the image, you have to do one or the other. Once upon a time we were forcing the thumbnails to be sized exactly according to the module settings but users reported that as a bug for not preserving the aspect ratio. I might be able to tune it a little to make it a little more balanced for portraits vs landscape, I'll see what I can do.

Best,

Joe

Re: Problems with image gallery

What I would expect it to do is take the values for thumbnails as maximum values, whilst keeping the aspect ratio.

Re: Problems with image gallery

Hey Joe,

thanks for MojoPortal. Great Stuff!

I encountered the same problem: Portrait-sized photos are sized so that they are way higher than the 550 pixels specified by default. Am I doing something wrong? I was under the impression that (keeping default settings) images should be resized to a maximum width of 550px and a maximum height of 550px...

Also while playing around I noticed these things:

  • Images are kept in the filesystem after deleting the image widget
  • Upload speed is somehow limited to 300 KB/s. This is on a LAN to the server, the server's and client's CPU's are idling and hard disks doing almost nothing...
  • It'd be great if "Thumbnails per page" worked also in non-compact mode
  • After changing the settings, can I force the image gallery to re-create the thumbnails after changing some parameters?
  • http://www.mojoportal.com/gallerymodule.aspx has a spelling mistake, first sentence: "too quickly" instead of "to quickly"

Re: Problems with image gallery

Am I the only one having issues with portrait images?

 

Did I do something wrong when reporting the bug?

Re: Problems with image gallery

Hi Simon,

Regarding the upload speed see this part of Web.config:

<neatUpload xmlns="http://www.brettle.com/neatupload/config/2008"
    useHttpModule="true"
    maxNormalRequestLength="4096"
    maxRequestLength="2097151"
    multiRequestUploadHandlerUrl="~/NeatUpload/MultiRequestUploadHandler.ashx"
   maxUploadRate="300"
  >
  </neatUpload>

Regarding image sizes it is determined in the feature instance settings for the gallery, maybe you are thinking it is using settings from some other place. Click the Settings link next to the title of the Gallery.

If you still think there is an error try it on demo.mojoportal.com and show me the problem.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Problems with image gallery

Thanks for the tip regarding upload speed. Mistery solved!

I recreated the issue here: http://demo.mojoportal.com/gallery-problem-illustration.aspx. The gallery settings say that WebImage width and height should be 550. Yet the three portrait images are way taller than 550 pixels. Only the last image (landscape-orientation with bacon) is correctly resized to a width of 550 pixels.

Does that help?

Good night,
Simon
