I've used Lightbox with CMSB on many sites - e.g. http://www.haroldalbrechtmp.ca/newsPhotosGallery.php?Supporting-the-Arts-across-Southwestern-Ontario-158 - but is it possible for all the thumbnails to be cropped to the same dimensions and have rounded corners? e.g. http://www.flashcove.com.php5-17.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/gallery-product.php.

Thanks!

Hi Nigel,

Currently, there isn't a way to do this automatically using CMS Builder. If you view one of the images in the example, you'll see that the image was rounded, and then placed on a black background (http://www.flashcove.com.php5-17.dfw1-1.websitetestlink.com/images/product-images/data/thumbnails1/flshcv_0211_526pscl2.jpg).

This was most likely done manually. Once that was done, you could upload them to CMS Builder and output them normally.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jason. I didn't think of the most obvious solution!

Hi Nigel,

Take a look at these.

hi, i'm using lightbox on this page to show popup images http://1048904331.n114413.test.prositehosting.co.uk/portfolio-detail.php?Flys-1

the functionality works fine however my customer wants to be able to control the cropping of the thumbmail images as they are different ratios and don't align correctly on the first. he wants the popup images to be the actaul ratios though. this means that the cmsb re-size option won't work.

is there anyway to have two sets of image uploads, one for the thumnails and one for the pop-ups? the system would need to know that image 1 thumb linked to big image 1 etc?

the css option would not work. the point is that EXACT control of the thumbnail is required so it needs to be cropped manually by my client and then to link to the large image
