setting up Image size

[mmaisterrena]

Im working on a grid in v10 which displays some images fron a file reference field

Is there a way to sett up the image size so that all the images are displayed with the same size or even better is there a best fit option somewhere?

Re: setting up Image size

Attached is a pic from a real estate application. In this case, the pic is a link set to display an image in another control, which is an image file reference field (set as type Image and hidden). This is like in the sample pages. This app is V9, but I've also tried it in V10 and it works the same.

The trick here is to set the size in the image field, not in the link field. In this case, the image is set with an in-line style of
height: 100px; border-width: 0px;

I did not set the width, because that would have skewed the picture.

Re: setting up Image size

Below pic shows how I present my client's logos on their pages using a grid.

In my .a5w header page, I display my own logo like this:
? "<img src=http://socialservicenetwork.com/ssnlogo.jpg width=950 height=80 alt=SocialServiceNetwork.com>"

I know this is an older thread but...

Can you force the aspect ratio?

So a wide aspect picture would have a cropped top/bottom if forced into a square image field.

Re: setting up Image size

I set up my grid as Pat described and it works very well.

My problem is that if a user clicks on the picture, (the mouse pointer turns into a hand when moved over the picture), I get an error message. I guess what's happening is that the link is trying to go somewhere, but has no place to go.

But looking at the link properties for the link item, I can't figure out what to do.

What I would like to do would be to disable the little hand, but I realize that I'm using a link to fix the size of the picture.

Maybe I should do some kind of javascript action that does nothing?

Also; what is a DIV as in "open a web page in a pop-up window or a DIV".

Thanks

Re: setting up Image size

I am new and I think people have covered this thread over and over again. However, for me could someone explain a bit more (I have read whaht is here but I suspect being new something is going a miss) specifically what to do to make sure an image in a grid stay they same size and is proportioned. Also so it can be clicked and loaded??

I thank you in advance!

Re: setting up Image size

Here is some thickness. Is a control each grid? To get an image do you need a standard grid then detail grid? How do you hide the "standard" grid and just show the detail? Am I braking? Please help me... as i still cant show an image which I thought wouldc be an easy and necessary thing.

Re: setting up Image size

I have changed my approach since my post #3.

I first allow the registered users to upload their logo. When they do, the image is uploaded to my logos database along with their userid. (pic1)

Users then redirected to my grid where they can adjust image size to fit their needs. (uID=:uID) This is an update only grid. (pic2)

Below code is in my logo only page (emlogoshow.a5w) that is called in all my other pages via a5w_include("emlogoshow.a5w")

fyi: ssn is not the social security number.

dim gwidth as c
dim gheight as c
dim gName as c
dim gLogo as c
dim ssn as c

dim gName as c = alltrim(lookup("[pathalias.adb_path]\logos","ssn="+quote(ssn),"coname"))
dim gHeight as c = lookupc("F",alltrim(ssn),alltrim("height"),"[pathalias.adb_path]\logos","ssn")
dim gWidth as c = lookupc("F",alltrim(ssn),"width","[pathalias.adb_path]\logos","ssn")
dim gLogo as c = lookupc("F",alltrim(ssn),"name","[pathalias.adb_path]\logos","ssn")

? "<center><img border=0 src=http://socialservicenetwork.com/logosshow/"+urlencode(gLogo)+" height="+quote(gHeight)+"width="+quote(gWidth)+"alt="+quote(gName)+"></center>"

Re: setting up Image size

Eric thanks for replying. I think your example is different to what I want to do. My image is a field in a table that I am trying to browse as a grid. Each row has an image stored on a table... all i want to do is confine the display of the image to a thumbnail.

Did you get an easy answer to this? Need help. Thanks Jonathon
