Images on NSP widget

[ckubs]

Noticed something with News Show Pro widget, when image field is selected, for the showed news to have images attached, for no reason(or I'm not using it properly) images are made at the specified dimension in widget settings(180 X 120 for example)and then scaled to the width of the container are in. If I want 2 columns the thumbnail is made at the my specified dimension and then scalled at 50% widget's width for example and that makes them look extremmely pixelated.

And one p.s: I know is hard working involved there, but the 1.7 update will be available after WP 3.6 launch or before as I see 2 more issues that need to be resolved.

Hi,

In your case you should specify the image size which will be best for your display - the widget generates the images based on the widget settings, and these images are scaled by the container width.

Regarding the Meet GavernWP v.1.7 - you can always download the theme package from the v.1.7 branch :)

yes but If I strictly want thumbnails with 150px width(for example to float them, thumbnail left and excerpt/title right)if the container is 500px wide they'll be be made 500px wide and probably can't do that.

Did you tried to set option image position from top to left?

this is a test blog: http://dilema.tk/ I doesn't seem to work with left image option.

Setting up a margin it doesn't work either. If I set for example a 5px margin(like I did)it's only added as 5px margin on the left and the image not smaller with 5px but moved with 5px to the right and overlaps the other container/article.

Please set the order of the image to 1 - then it will work ;)

It was described in the widget article:

Images displayed in the widget may have specific dimensions and position – the left position works only when the image is on the first position at the article – then it is displayed in the separated column.

Yes now it works. Sorry for disturbing and hope to see the final result when 1.7 will be finished. It has some killer features that make me drool. I don't want to open the box yet :))

[dziudek]

ok :) In general we have to add only two features: CSS/JS compression and WP 3.6 support - I think that in the next week it will be ready to release - then we will wait for WP 3.6 :)

A small sugestion(forgot to put it in my last message) If you plan to improve the news widget(donno 1.8, 1.9, 2.0 releases) if it's possible you should make the collums to behave in a masonry like way or like sidebar behavior from tablet to mobile. When there's not enough space to display all collumns properly to go one under another.

In general it seems that I've forgot to add the mobile CSS code for the NSP and Tabs widget - I'll add it to the 1.7 release, because it is an important bug ;) Thanks for this feedback!
