Firstly, thanks to Tegan for pointing me to the Mini recipe; I have been using Thumblist so far and had not realized that Petko had a newer snazzier recipe for the same job!<div><br></div><div>I would very much like to implement the Mini recipe however I am facing one problem: many of the pictures (actually photos) uploaded to my wiki are much larger than that screen size. I actually like the fact that the users are not required to reduce the images before uploading. As you can understand, very large images are not conducive to lightbox rendering.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The way I dealt with this in the Thumblist recipe was by using an Image template page. The small thumbnail on the main page linked to an Image template page which also included a thumbnail, but a larger one (800 px) thereby ensuring that the image was always smaller than the screen. The users could then chose to load the entire image through a link on that page if they desired.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it possible to somehow achieve something similar with the Mini recipe where the recipe script actually creates two thumbnails for all the pictures, one smaller and one larger. The lightbox would then render the larger thumbnail and there would be a link on the footer for the full-sized image which would open by itself in the browser. This would also be make the lightbox rendering much quicker as the larger thumbnail would be much lighter than the full sized image. If this is possible, it would make a great tool even better!</div>
<div><br></div><div>Petko, any ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks a lot!</div><div>Sameer</div>
