Gallery component not using thumbnail images

[erdmenchen]

I have WordPress Version 3.8.2 running Aesop Story Engine Version 1.0.9. When I insert a gallery component in a post, the images use the full width file. This makes the site loading quite long on many images.

Is it somehow possible to tell the gallery to use thumbnail images instead of the full res images? Lightbox however should still show the full res images...

which gallery component?

[erdmenchen]

The Gallery is displayed as photoset...do you mean this? I just added the gallery as described in your manual: http://aesopstoryengine.com/help/gallery-component/

Right, there are 5 different gallery types just wanted to make sure which one to look at.

It's using the "large" version of the image. This is because the user might have the image 100% width across their content, so the image has to be somewhat of a good size. Large is only 1024px.

What I'll do is put in a filter that will let you change the size as needed. This will be out with 1.1

Perfect! Thank you very much.

[bearded-avenger]

ok this will ship with 1.1

Thank you very much for this update @bearded-avenger ! But I am having trouble on using this setting. Actually I cant find how to use it... If I edit the aesop-story-engine/public/includes/components/component-gallery.php to use for example large, the images of a gallery are still loaded as full size. So when a page is loaded with this image, it loads a full size 2048px width image. But the <img> control is only 700px wide (in my theme). So thats why I want to be able to set a smaller image version for the photoset gallery to use. Wordpress creates the following images sizes for an uploaded image (I have no plugin installed for this):

• original <-- this is used for all images in a photoset gallery, no matter what
• 1250x833
• 1024x682
• 400x266
• 300x300
• 300x199
• 200x200
• 150x99

I want the photoset gallery to use the 1024px version or even smaller. So either I am using this wrong or the new setting is not applied.

Greetings.

It works with the following change: Currently the image source link is build by calling wp_get_attachment_url. This does not support an image size as shown in the documentation. But by calling wp_get_attachment_image_src, the correct size of an image is used for the image source.

That's correct its a bug will get fixed. Thanks.

Ok bug fixed. You may need to regenerate thumbnails with a plugin like Regenerate Thumbs. Also, to run a filter to change the size on the photoset gallery would be something like this. This would change the size from 'large' to 'full' on the photoset gallery.

add_filter('aesop_photoset_gallery_size','my_gallery_size');
function my_gallery_size(){
    return 'full';
}
