An "Album Template Stylesheet" stylesheet for the default, ImageGallery, and Thickbox templates is installed with the module. This stylesheet is deleted when the module is uninstalled and may be overwitten by an upgrade, so you might want to use a copy if you modify it. Attach the stylesheet to the page template used.

To attach the stylesheet to your template:

  1. Go to "Layout -> Templates"
  2. Click the CSS icon (Attach Stylesheet to Template) button to the right of your template
  3. Choose "Album Template Stylesheet" from the drop-down menu.
  4. Click the "Add a Stylesheet" button.

First I applied JohnR's advice:
Alter lib/filemanager/ImageManager/config.inc.php:

Code: Select all

/*
  Thumbnail dimensions.
*/
$IMConfig['thumbnail_width'] = 145;
$IMConfig['thumbnail_height'] = 145;

That fixed up Image Manager to create larger thumbs for me but they were still displaying small in my Albums - Album program was resizing my thumbnails by setting a height attribute in the img tag on the page display. I could have fixed this by removing the autothumbnailsize references completely from my tpl files (module/Album/templates/db/*.tpl) but I wanted my rows to be uniformly scaled so:

Alter modules/Album/classes/module/class.Album.php

Code: Select all

// Make tall thumnails fit in box
	if ($picture->thumbnailheight > 108)
	{
		$picture->autothumbnailsize = ' height="108"';
	}

That was working but it seemed to only be working for 1 of my albums. After checking the database table cms_module_album_pictures I found I had to manually change some height/width values for items in the album that had already been set before I started changing the thumbnail sizes. But there we go - working larger thumbnails!
Cheers!

	{
		$picture->autothumbnailsize = ' height="0"';
