the sidebar slider cuts my images off

Hello,

The slider widget cuts/crops my images. It seems as it is using a different version of the image which is already cropped.

Is it possible to solve this?

This is how it looks now:

This can be seen on a category page with sidebar, i.e:
http://www.weekendworldnews.com/perfect-homes-international/

This is how it should look(made with visual composer):

This can be seen here:

How can I solve this so that it takes the same image as visual composer?

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hi

The images used in slide are cropped depending by slide’s size. This is the default implementation for all images displayed by the theme on modules. To change this implementation are required some customizations in theme’s core files and also the css must be adapted to scale the images to a specific size.
This is a complex task which involve some customizations in order to be completed. We can’t offer customization services at the moment so if you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.

Thanks!

Hi

The thumb for slide is set in td_module_slide.php file. You will have to edit the file and sent to the indicated function even a bigger thumb or full image as parameter http://screencast.com/t/ptUSa2n0k2Ng

Perfect! Great support.

I cannot figure out what to put there in order to get the full image to show.

What should I put there?

Is there a list of the different size options?

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hi

You can try to use the carousel block from Visual Composer in sidebar to display the images. To achieve that create a blank page and add on it the carousel block, then press classic mode button to switch in backend editor, copy this shortcode: http://screencast.com/t/z3ciSfUOOv and paste it in a text block in widgets area: http://screencast.com/t/ccKtLy74nfvw

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi Andrei,

That also sounds like a good option. However I have now set it up to work with the way you described. Also It will be easier for my to do changes in the future with the other method.

How should I change ‘td_300x350’ to show the full sized image?

Would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hi

In that case you can’t use a thumb because the image will be cropped and won’t be oicked to it’s ful width size. You will have to sent the full image as parameter for indicated functions and also adjust its style from css. As I’ve mentioned above this is not an easy task because involve dome customzations and special cases in get_image() function.

Thanks!
