[SOLVED] Center Images Horizontally on Slideshow

benriverobenrivero
edited November 2012 in Slideshow Gallery plugin
Hello i have a site where i use Slideshow Gallery Plugin, the problem is that i have a lot of images from different sizes and my gallery is always 900px wide... i will like to center all the images on my gallery. 

I see on the code that each image is css positioned absolute, and left:0 wich aligns the image to the left, can i center the image? i know how to do that using css but the problem is that i dont know in a future the width of each image. 

Also i notice that the images are 1 over the last one... so if the current photo is smaller thant the last one... the last one the user can see a portion of the last image... this looks bad :( 

Thanks in advance

    Thank you for your post, benrivero.

    You can center the images with CSS.

    Can you pass me a link to check for you and provide some CSS guidance?

    I look forward to your response!

    We have applied this to our latest development build.

    To automatically center align images when "Resize Images" is turned off and the images smaller then the slideshow canvas. So this will be in the next release.

    In the meanwhile, go into your "slideshow-gallery/css/gallery-css.php" file and you'll need to modify the #slideshow-wrapper #image img style specifically. Here is the new code for it: http://pastebin.com/QWMD58CG

    Please let me know if this helps!

    Hi Team,

    I was trying to center image with the new version of your (trully great) plugin, but there is no gallery-css.php anymore. Could you provide me the way of how to do this now? As a little offtopic I'd like to ask where can I state the margins of the image to make it really in the center (covered by those black margins)?

     

    Best regards,

    Paweł

    I'm glad to hear that you like the Slideshow Gallery plugin.

    There are css.php and css-responsive.php files that you can use to modify CSS. You can use a child theme folder to make changes and keep them intact on updates. See this documentation: http://tribulant.com/docs/wordpress-slideshow-gallery/9577

    Have you tried margin:0 auto; to center align images? If it doesn't work, may I have a link to your slideshow to check it out and see how it can be done?

    I look forward to your response.

    Thank you for such a fast response. I have created a child theme, copied css.php and css-responsive.php files and as I don't really get what is going on in the files I tried to change all the occurances of margin:0 to margin:0 auto, but nothing happened. I use responsive layout and I still edit the site locally so unfortunatelly it would take some time to send you a link (I could do that, though).

     

    I look forward for your response,

    Paweł

    No problem, you're welcome, I'm happy to assist you.

    Can you please put the site online at some stage and then pass me a link? The center alignment may actually differ from site to site depending on the main CSS and layout of your WordPress theme and the parent elements that the slideshow is inside.

    I look forward to your response.

    Now - I tried to change all the occurances to margin:0 auto too but the images are still aligned left.

    In the theme-style.css is not a different code for images.

    So, I still have this problem...

    Along this same query, I am wondering how I can center the slideshow on my page. Here is my page:

    http://oakcliff.ofthecastlemarketing.com/studio-images/

    I tried wrapping a p tag around it with the center attribute but it ignores this. From reading the forum, I believe I have to make changes inside the gallery.php file within a child folder (slideshows) but I have tried this and it didn't work. I am assuming I might be changing something in the wrong area. I am surprised to not see a separate .css file to edit. I don't want to make these changes in my regular .css file because I don't want anything other than the slideshow to be affected.

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks!
