I'd like to display thumbnails of images on my page which open the large versions in a lightbox. I have used the imagecropper data type to create a cropped version of all the images to ensure they will be the same size.
I have been manually changing the filename in the insert image dialog however when I change the size to that of the thumbnail it keeps the aspect ratio of the large one which is often different to the crop.
Is there a way to select the cropped images using the media picker or a way to stop the dialog changing to keep the aspect ratio of the image selected.
Do you need to add the images into a richtext box? If not, I'd use the uCompnents MultiNode Tree Picker and set it to select media instead of content (you can also set the starting media folder which is also handy). Using that, the content editor can then select all media required for that page.
On the page template, write a macro (either xslt or razor) to loop through the selected media items and display the *cropped* version of each image.
It depends on the page. On some I will be able to do as you suggest although I am going to use the DAMP to select the images.
On other pages though I will need to add the thumbnails into the richtext box as they are interspersed in the content. Guess for those instances I'll just need to have the thumbnails created manually and uploaded as their own media items.
