    Hello all,

    fabulous theme – and any of the-offs out there are just not quite the same (as mentioned in Daniels twitter feed). Anyhow…

    How do I generate thumbnails for posts for photos in portrait mode, where the post-thumbnail has the same width as the image? when I use portrait format images, my thumb seems to have the standard width of a landscape thumb with the photo being left oriented? I want my post thumbs to look as the “astronomical clock” on the demo page?
    Also: how do I make a photo to open (when displayed in the “portfolio” page) in the greybox viewer when clicked on the photo, and when clicked on the text, open as post (as seen in http://www.maxbinder.de/category/fotoalbum/)

    Not sure I understand fully what you’re talking about…

    First, the “astronimical clock”, you are referring to, has no thumbnails. A thumbnails is generated for a gallery, beeing defined at the “Options/Media” page.

    What you seem talking about is the article image which defined by the width of the column.

    There is a golden rule for posting: NO “Also….” 😉 Just open another thread with a new topic.

    But to answer your question: the box is the standard viewer for images. When you click on the “astronimical clock” image in the post, the same viewer will open.

    Hi Alex,
    thanks for responding !!

    OK, if you look at the “astronomical clock” the post thumbnail is in portrait mode and has the same width as the image thumbnail (332 or so pixel).
    When I post a portrait mode image, the post thumbnail is a lot larger (wider) than the image (almost landscape size) itself. How do I get the post thumbnail to match the aspect ratio of the posted image?

    I KNOW – the golden rule is GOLDEN – sometimes I just get carried away 🙂 sorry 😀

    As I said before: There is no thumbnail for the “astronomical clock”.

    The “Home” page shows the attached article image with a width of 322px and is calculated to the width of the column. Therefore it can not be wider than that in the “Home” page.

    The “Astronomical Clock” page (http://demo.onedesigns.com/pinboard/?p=212) has the same image attached but this time not as an article image but a standard image. The image width of this page is defined by the cloumn page, which is more or less (depending on the space between the column of the “Home” page”) double the size of the “Home” page, as it includes two columns.

    The final picture when clicking on the image on the “Astronomical Clock” page is defined by the size you selected while uploading the image.

    Sorry, I’ll give it another try. English is not my mother tongue… 🙂

    The “Home” page (http://demo.onedesigns.com/pinboard/) shows the attached article image with a width of 322px and is determined by the width of the column. Therefore the image can not be wider than the “Home” page column.

    The “Astronomical Clock” page (http://demo.onedesigns.com/pinboard/?p=212) has the same image attached to the post, but this time not as an “article image” but as a “standard image”. The image width is determinded by the cloumn size of the page, which is more or less (depending on the space between the column of the “Home” page”) double the size of the “Home” page column width, as it spans over two columns.

    The final picture when clicking on the image on the “Astronomical Clock” page is defined by the size you selected while uploading the image.

    hm…. I am clearly missing the trick here…. when I chose “standard” image, I get a landscape style thumbnail (320 px) of a portrait photo. when I chose “portfolio” style image, I get the full image displayed in the thumb. however, the displayed image is narrower than 320px. So, I am missing the right button to tell the theme do display portrait size thumbs in the theme width of 320 px. Do I make sense?

    Ok, now I feel silly – this was easy.
    When starting a new page and inserting media, the thumbnail size needs to be chosen correctly (large or full size).
