Major Issue with Image Size

Hi there

There is a major problem with the way the Geocraft theme deals with customer uploaded images for each individual listing. In the backend there are 5 uploads possible for images.
Nowhere in client admin next to the image uploader does it say what the size each image should be, so afetr uploading some perfectly ok images you get this:
http://www.bacchusmarsh.net/listing/blacksmiths-cottage-and-forge-bookbarn/

This is not acceptable for a professional directory.

One of two things should happen

1. The theme should automatically resize uploaded images so they fit a fixed width ( then photos that are too deep will appear tall in the listing but wont be cropped or 'thinned')

or

2. There should be instruction in customer admin next to the image uploader that the photos should be a certain pixel size or a maximum width.

or preferably you should do both of the above.

Please advise how we can fix this asap and if we can do any custom coding before you are able to release an update.

thanks

 

I'm having the same problem. So far, I have to resize every image the client sends me. I hope this can be resolved. Thanks!

 

Hello,

Code:

Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.
.container_24 .grid_14 {
width: 57.993% !important;
}

Thanks & Regards

Thanks

That solves the immediate issue of the image overlapping.

BUT can you please advise the following:
1. What are the recommended dimensions for each photo?
2. Will you be able to place these recommended dimensions in site admin backend next to the photo upload buttons, and when?
3. When will the theme be fixed so that it resizes the image keeping aspect ratio, rather then stretching or compressing the image as you do now?

thanks again - users here need this information as I think that a lot of website owners are doing a lot of extra work in admin to correct all these image problems for their clients.

 

Hello,
Image uploaded by user automatically re-size it as per requirement.
There is not any recommendation for fixed size image. Always keep in mind while posting that image is uploaded correctly.
Thanks & Regards
