Images with different x/y dimmensions

I do succeed in starting this magic module up in my sandbox, but I'm left with a very annoying issue: i have pictures whose X/Y dimmensions do not always have the same relation
(eg. pic1 = 40px . 60 px, pic 2 = 60px . 60 px, ...).

Until now i see the pictures being displayed in a "fixed" zone, so some pics are "stretched" and do not look as I would ..

any advice?

Images with different x/y dimmensions

Hi Jan,

Patch for RC1 is available in the issue queue at: http://drupal.org/node/327459

With this patch you can set the image height and with to 0 (zero).
With this setting the original image size will be taken.

You can also upgrade to version RC2 which fixes a view more bugs.

Still having trouble understanding this

I am using RC5 and it still seems that no matter what size image I upload it is always stretched to 478x303.

So i am confused by reading this post, this is normal or not?

Re: Still having trouble understanding this

If you want to use different image sizes with the advanced slideshow functionality you have to do the following.

E.g. For a flexible height in an advanced dynamic display block slideshow:

  1. Make an image cache preset which scales your pictures to the maximum width of the slider.
  2. Apply this preset to the slider images in the ddblock configuration page
  3. Change the Template CSS file
    • Delete the height element from div.slide-inner img
    • Make the height element in div.slider-inner big enough to fit the biggest height

Hope this helps you further. Please let me now.
