Resizing Images

[jackmason]

Is there an option for rcarousel that will resize images to the specified width and height?

No, there is no so option.

I’m going to improve/refresh/write it beter rcarousel in a couple of weeks so any suggestions are welcomed. Now I am focused on my other project – rlightbox which you can also find on github. It got no love for such long time because it didn’t hold attention.

I will try to make a small example of its positioning problem and send it to you.

I did not know your email address. I had to go through some website that had items I had to open and each item had a subject. I did not want to give multiple issues in a single item, which is the reason you got 3 different one liners.

We need the resize capability, so I guess we will have to find another solution. We have no control over the images we have to display and they come in varying sizes, but always larger than we want to display.
We have been using Elixon Theatre, but it will not scroll to the right horizontally, so we need another solution or be content with the right to left scroll.

rcarousel does not remain within the enclosing div but sprawls outside to the right and off the page. Could you post the example code somewhere?

ps will you please send one e-mail instead of 3 one-liners?

I’m sorry – I did not notice that you post these messages directly on github – not e-mailed me directly.

Could you explain it to me what features do you look for? You have no control over images, but generally carousels have fixed size or one of them is fixed. Where do you pull images from? Is it JSONP from one of those internet galleries?

I will be grateful for any mock-ups, sketches or working examples.

We have a couple of carousels on www.mybfl.com. However, the current control, Elixon Theatre, does not have a left to right capability which my son wants. We change the page occasionally, and just removed the circular "in the air" display and changed it to the two horizontal sliders half-way down the page.

rcarousel looked good because of the gap between images. But the lack of resizing will keep it from being useful to us. I have attached a few of the images for you to see the difference between the images and what is displayed on our web page. I did not check to see if these images were all the same size.... sometimes they are, sometimes they are not.
But, we always need them resized. The images change on a daily, weekly, monthly basis depending upon the sales figures for the book.

Actually, all images on myfbl have the same proportions so this can me sorted out in CSS, even in rcarousel. I don’t know Elixon but I can’t imagine that you throw 10px × 500px, 200px × 300px and 500 × 1000px images into fixed size carousel. This would produce very ugly effect. So I believe that it should be up to you to either resize them manually or on a server side.

Anyway, I wish you finding the best solution.

Thanks. The images on our web site are all the same size when they are displayed, but going into the Elixon Theatre, they generally vary in size, at least a little. If you are interested, I have a slider cube that resizes and standardizes varying images that is all set up and running. I can move it to our website tomorrow if that wouuld be of any help to you.

Is slider cube running on the server side? If you have set it up, I can help you to run rlightbox if, of course you are still interested. :)

www.mybfl.com/cube.php shows the imagecube running with 4 images of disparate sizes. It is all client side code; there is no php code on that page. This is just an example to show what we need for image resizing.
