[SOLVED] Crop to center of gallery images

matthewelsom

Hi there, 

thanks for a great plugin, I have installed a gallery which I have custom styled on my site - however I would like to change the crop settings that timthumb is using to generate the gallery image. 

I see that the img output in my DOM looks like this;

XXX.jpg&w=928&h=450&q=100&a=t

So as far as I can tell timthumb is aligning the zoom/crop to the top (a=t), what I want to happen is the gallery image to crop to the center (horizontal & vertical)... Could you advise on how I would go about doing this??

WP v.3.4.2

Slideshow Gallery v.1.2.3.2

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your post.

Yes, the plugin automatically sets a=t to the TimThumb source image.

It is done inside "slideshow-gallery/helpers/html.php" 

In function timthumb_image() and function timthumb_image_src()

You can modify those 2 functions according to your needs.

You can find instructions/documentation here: http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/demo/timthumb-cropping/

Please let me know if this helps you!

Great! Thank you for your help... That saved me a lot of digging around! All I have to do now is work out to implement that change in a timthumb config file so that it won't get wiped when I update your plugin.

Although a backend crop location selector may be a cool feature for you guys to add in! I'm off to look at your paid plugins!!!

Thank you for your response.

It is my pleasure, I'm glad I could help you with it.

Absolutely, we'll add a setting to the TimThumb settings under Slideshow > Configuration.

I already added it to our development list when I posted the first reply to this so it's on it's way

Enjoy using the Slideshow Gallery plugin and let us know if you need any further assistance!
