How to Select to Display Large Image?

[fotonyc]

In EE1.5 there was a drop down box under the picture where a viewer can select to view the size they want, e.g., original. I do not see this in EE2.0. Can it be enabled somehow? I have resize method and paths set-up to upload original but there is no way for user to view it.

Do you have the size options listed under the lower right hand corner of the photo?

[fotonyc]

I don't get any size options on the lower right hand side. Is this something that needs to be turned on (looked through all the setup links and could not find any related option)?

Resizing seems to be working fine. The large images are being placed in /photos/large

I have only uploaded a few photos so far:

When I looked at your site, the "Normal | Large" options were available on the lower right corner of the frame.
Example:

http://fotonyc.net/Gallery2/photo.php?size=3&photo=16&offset=10&u=49

I guss I am confused what the problem is.

My mistake but maybe this is a suggestion for an improvement. I was looking for this to be outside the picture. Now that I tried to look very closely I see that it is inside the picture. I think most users will miss seeing the option so I guess I should add a note to point this out.

I think the old method of choosing size was a better user interface. Just an opinion.

Thanks for pointing this out to me.

This is purely a default template design choice. The size list by name ($sizemenu_text_html) is placed inside (or rather over) the frame DIV in default template. I like it that way it is not obtrusive, and I use passepartout frames. You can move it out from there, or use variable $sizemenu_html to print the old style dropdown menu anywhere on page.

Sorry Pekka, how exactly do I do this? (Hopefully I understand photography a little better than I do PHP :oops: )

This is not a bump (well it is really) any help with the above will be greatly appreciated......

I'll get you the template soon. It will be part of 2.01.1

In the meantime I have made a frame the same colour as the background. Not very cleaver but it works :-)

Hi Pekka,

Did you ever make the template, if so can I have access to it please?
