Showcase Couple of Questions

Can the Width be Changed? Also, The Stars and Views be removed?

 

[Bob]

yes, however, those are changing. I am getting rid of that particular block and will be using almost an exact clone of the Grid Block that XMG uses.

refresh the home page. I disabled the stats and the title.

You'll be able to just display the image only, but it won't be using Owl Carosel like chris uses. Im still using bxSlider.

You can't upload an image that is 200 wide by 1200 tall and expect it to look nice when you set the Options to have thumbs be 350 x 225. There is just no decent way to deal with extremely odd cropped images lol.

Just like XMG, you set a thumbnail size (I prefer 350x225). When uploading an image, a thumbnail is generated for use throughout the addon. The original image stays the same (when viewing it in the gallery). The only exception to this rule is when you as an admin set the user group permission and set the max width and height for an image (then it gets resized.

Hope that makes sense? If I didn't answer what you needed to know, I can try and be more specific.
