Title: Image Sizes - Looking for suggestions...
Post by: hotwalkn on April 07, 2013, 10:00
I thought this might be the right spot for this thread.

I'm looking for suggestions on image sizes in relation to bloggy, small, medium and large. I know large is the original upload size. Any suggestions on appropriate sizing for smaller scale? AND, am I required to size and upload the photos to fit the scale or does Symbiostock take care of those details?

Thanks in advance....  :D

The sizes are handled for you by Symbiostock. Just upload your largest size, and the site does the rest. In fact, I don't think you are able to change the sizes right now...Leo has set what size the blog size is, the small, etc.

You are welcome. I'm excited when I actually know the answer to a question, because I still have lots of questions myself.

Just to add to the thread... does anyone know how to make the preview image ( the one that shows when you click on it..with watermark) larger?

I believe that is a function that Leo has programmed into the theme. Right now, those sizes can't be adjusted but I think he's working on that for the future (if I remember correctly)...here's what he says:

Default Size Settings  Note: Size settings cannot be changed on image edit page yet. Choose carefully. Large size is original upload size.

By now, all sizes are defined in symbiostock_image_processor.php, it is in
/your-wp-folder/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor

There is a section:

        $medium_size = get_option('symbiostock_medium_size', 1000);
      $small_size = get_option('symbiostock_small_size', 500);
      $blogge_size = get_option('symbiostock_bloggee_size', 250);
      
      
        $sizes = array(
           
             'large' => $this->create_size_specs( 0, $width, $height ),
           
            'medium' => $this->create_size_specs( $medium_size, $width, $height ),
           
            'small' => $this->create_size_specs( $small_size, $width, $height ),
           
            'bloggee' => $this->create_size_specs( $blogge_size, $width, $height ),
           
            'preview' => $this->create_size_specs( 590, $width, $height, 'preview' ),
           
            'thumb' => $this->create_size_specs( 150, $width, $height )
           
        );
 
I think you can change all values (maybe with side effects), but I didn't try it  :)
And it will be present here only until next theme update.

You can change all the file sizes I think as well as prices under Symbiostock - Author Options.   I do not know about the displayed pictures though - not risking breaking anything else for now.

Changing file sizes in Author Options doesn't work by now. When Leo will fix it, maybe he will add options for preview and thumbnail sizes too :)
