Not ideal for my customer who wants to display portrait headshots. But, I figured out the code changes needed, so if anyone else needs this solution here is what I did:</p> <p>The slider content container is 930px wide, when using the small left or small right slider the images are half that, so 435px wide. The width of a portrait shot is approximately 77% of its height. To get my images to display correctly I needed to create new thumbnails 435px wide by 563px high, cropped if necessary so the slider doesn't move up and down.</p> <p>Go into functions.php and find the section where additional thumbnails are registered, about line 70. Add a new image size like so:<br /> <code>$avia_config[&#39;imgSize&#39;][&#39;portrait&#39;] = array(&#39;width&#39;=&gt;435, &#39;height&#39;=&gt;563 );</code></p> <p>Now you need to tell the slider to use the new <em>portrait</em> size. Open up includes/admin/helper-slideshow.php and look for this code block at about line 280:<br /> <pre><code>if(strpos($slide[&#39;slideshow_image_layout&#39;], &#39;small&#39;) !== false) { $this-&gt;img_size = &#39;portfolio&#39;; // change this to &#39;portrait&#39; } else { $this-&gt;img_size = &#39;featured&#39;</code></pre> <p>Upload the modified files and check your handywork. Mine worked perfectly.</p> <p>I have NOT checked this thoroughly for side effects, so be sure to test this out before you go live. Mine is installed on a small site where ONLY this slider is being used. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/change-dimensions-of-slider#post-102924 Mon, 25 Mar 2013 11:55:17 +0000 Devin 102924@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi garydarling,</p> <p>There isn't really a way to just change the slideshow dimensions by itself to get that effect because of the responsive layout and just how the slideshow is processed (being re-used site wide with variables).</p> <p>You can use the Image Size options tab to get the image un-resized in either a left or right position in the slideshow which is I think as close to what you are looking for that the theme offers without having a developer customize the slideshow output.</p> <p>The tab is in the image options for that specific page in the Featured media:<br /> <img src="http://i49.tinypic.com/11jaexg.png"></p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/change-dimensions-of-slider#post-102790 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 02:33:41 +0000 garydarling 102790@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>What is the best way to change the main slider dimensions so it displays images in a portrait orientation?</p> <p>The ideal dimensions would be 460px wide by 600px high </p>
