And what a difference a couple of days away makes…

Module 5 is apparently used by a lot of the blocks as any showing the medium sized thumbnail on the home page now show no featured image – affecting far more than the status posts originally intended for this behavior.

Additionally, the changes to the excerpts from words to characters, though set at 250, shortens every slider title to about 10 characters. Those titles aren’t long enough or wide enough to fill the space they have on a default setup.

Now, how do I get the desired effect with screwing over the entire home page and without directly editing block 8 forcing me to replicate the changes with each new version released? I see child themes cannot replace blocks, correct?

I could do this another way but I need to know what modules blocks 1 and 2 use. I currently blocks 1, 2 and 8 on my home page. Check my development site where I’m working on this if you need to; http://wp.me/P4vfUC-2so.

I wanted to add widgetized custom sidebars that can be used on different pages. Example being my bbpress forum. I would like to have a custom sidebar that allows me to replace the std sidebar with all bbpress widgets.

Hello, guys.

Thanks for addressing this issue. However, it seems like both solutions offered in this thread will change the margins on the entire column, making the typed content and the images more narrow. I was hoping to get the typed content more narrow but to leave the images wider like the example I linked to above.

Does that clarify what i’m looking for? I wonder if it can be done. Let me know when you get a chance. And thanks again.

That works perfectly. Added the custom module 5 to the child theme and removed the date, author, comments/views lines as well and it looks great. Thanks.

Again… desperately need upsample function for theme.

OR EXAMPLE CODE:

/*  Thumbnail upscale
/* ------------------------------------ */ 
function alx_thumbnail_upscale( $default, $orig_w, $orig_h, $new_w, $new_h, $crop ){
    if ( !$crop ) return null; // let the wordpress default function handle this
 
    $aspect_ratio = $orig_w / $orig_h;
    $size_ratio = max($new_w / $orig_w, $new_h / $orig_h);
 
    $crop_w = round($new_w / $size_ratio);
    $crop_h = round($new_h / $size_ratio);
 
    $s_x = floor( ($orig_w - $crop_w) / 2 );
    $s_y = floor( ($orig_h - $crop_h) / 2 );
 
    return array( 0, 0, (int) $s_x, (int) $s_y, (int) $new_w, (int) $new_h, (int) $crop_w, (int) $crop_h );
}
add_filter( 'image_resize_dimensions', 'alx_thumbnail_upscale', 10, 6 );

***OR***
perhaps use scriplet calling ImageMagick to upscale, since WP now can access ImageMagick vs GD libs if available ?

Hi, Marius
Yikes … is this something I can pay you to add as a feature or extension, or custom plugin for Newspaper? We’ve moved from Woo Canvas, which still supports this function, since “featured” images are often larger than the image in post, particularly legacy content. For instance on some of our news sites we have 400×300 images for many stories, and these can scale up fairly well, as seen here:
http://californianewswire.com/

Basically we need the facility on some sites like CNW (above) to be able to enlarge the images to fit the featured slider, and on the category pages. Not horribly complex, just need the function, perhaps as a checkbox “add scaled images” which would turn on the two thumbs for category and home page slider.

E.g.
here, the main image should scale up to fit slider area
http://ga-ga.com/
and here image should scape up/crop to fit the feature box
http://ga-ga.com/gogaga/lifestyle/

This is worth US$100 to me to make it happen, btw. Or, happy to buy (3) more licenses via ThemeForest 🙂

Since everybody seems afraid to use timThumb anymore even with the security fixes, perhaps the vt_resize.php might be considered?

Original:
http://academe.co.uk/2013/08/resizing-of-images-in-wordpress-from-within-a-template/
Fixes for latest WP:
http://www.pirenko.com/blog/2013/01/22/vt_resize-php-image_resize-deprecated/

Since almost every theme developer is now abandoning any kind of image support except what is built into WP, this is problematical for many news sites which have legacy images from many years, not being able to be used to fit the new layout of Newspaper and other themes.

This would mean to have featured home page images, every image would need to be uploaded at the largest possible size used by theme, perhaps 745×483 – which isn’t clear in docs and also is different from what we were doing with v2, where the images were going up as 700×406. So, this mean EVERY image MUST be “GIANT” and then down-sampled for all other sizes. However this isn’t always possible.

This is why plugins like TimThumb and others over the year have been essential for creating complex image layouts where minor enlarge/crop is needed to “fit.”

So, money in hand. This would be another HUGE selling point for your theme, as it’s a VERY critical issue for MOST news sites, and we need it for our legacy news portals.

PLEASE CONSIDER – either as a custom add-on solution, or as a core feature option. I need this ASAP, hence willing to pay for development. This is the *only* thing we’re missing for our sites, right now.

Thanks 🙂

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I’m aware of the on/off possibility and of course users can close the box if they want, I would just think it’s not an unreasonable request to have it not obscure the footer.

The social share floating element I’m using (WPMU) for example (the development site is at martinmuir.com/blueventures/) has this option – you can set the height it stops at so it doesn’t cover footer content. Just seems to make sense to me 🙂

Anyway, like I say thanks for the comment – I’ve learned a lot from your replies on other threads and appreciate more than just the devs working to make the forums better 🙂

Cheers,

Martin

The “featured” frame for a video is set by the video author when uploading or transcoding a video, or YouTube auto-selects a non blank frame. Meaning, somebody can choose to show a frame with a product image vs somebody’s smiling face doing an intro or vice versa. You don’t get to pick the ‘poster frame’ for a video to show on your site.

Selected the thumbnail – there is no way you can choose that from any plugin or theme.

You would need to have uploaded the video and set the desired thumbnail. “Usually” it will be whatever image is seen on the video, when static on the page on your site when you do the embed, sometimes not.

TIP: you can usually see what the poster frame for a video on YouTube is by looking at the images in the sidebar on YouTube, or the static channel images for the video owner/uploader. THAT static image will normally be what a “grab” function will choose on any WordPress site.

If there is an auto-magical way to grab a selected frame from a video, like “scrub 10 seconds and grab screen cap” … I’m not aware of it, but it may be possible (likely crash your hosting account too).

Hope that helps. We run into this often when we do news articles about topics and include a video. The solution *we* came up with is to do a screen grab FROM the video, and the put that image on the page as a featured image.

Example: for this post, about holiday music, we wanted to grab image from video, but the poster frame is awful, so I used a screen cap app (SNAGIT), and grabbed an image from the video to make a featured image – MEANING, watched video on computer, did screen cap of image, then saved in Photoshop, uploaded to post:
http://ga-ga.com/644/july-4th-music-surprising-secrets-of-patriotic-songs/

(NOTE: this website still “technically” is under construction…. )
