little plastic pretty girl - free baked goods

free baked goods

Mar. 20th, 2007 at 1:04 PM

i will seriously make someone yummy baked goods (once i'm healthy again, of course) if they can go to www.whatsuptigerlily.com/gallery and tell me why the logo i uploaded is all squished and tiny.

this person needs to understand php and css like WHOA. i have been searching through code all fricking morning and i can't figure out what exactly controls that teeny little image which should, in fact, not be teeny, but should stretch almost halfway across the screen.

i can send all the files you ask me to and if you're a good little boy or girl, i'll even get you the login info so you can search the 2409585679876 folders in the gallery directory yourself.

i for real have a headache from staring at this crap. or maybe it's just the sickness.

Look at the front page, and view source. It's hard to post this stuff in lj comments without the parser following the instructions, but you see in the first image tag, where it's like [width="107" height="48"]?

If you want the image bigger, set these higher. You may need to fiddle a bit to get the right aspect ratio. You mean the little one in the top corner? I think the file name is "galleryLogo_sm.gif"?

Now, if you already knew that, but can't figure out which style sheet file in your directory contains the original instruction that's pulling from... well, grep for image tags, I suppose, would be one place to start. Without seeing your directory structure and how you built them, it's hard to guess.

Wow, yeah, the native resolution is like, 509 width by 105 height, at a 4.85 to 1 (gives or take a millionths) aspect ratio. The img tag has the setting squished way down, and at a 2.23 to 1 ratio, so not only is it teensy, but it's less than half the proper relative width, making it look squished and fuzzy.

Though honestly, the image won't look right small no matter what you do - it just doesn't scale down well beyond a certain point, proper aspect ratio or not.

But, yeah, find that img tag, change the height and width. In fact, if you want it to post at it's native size, just cut out the height and width variables entirely.

thats the problem. i can't seem to find the php anywhere that relates to that img. on the main.php page there's *nothing* there that even vaguely mentions an img.

weird

Hmm... weird. If you send the raw php for main or the other files it draws on, I can take a look. I am, by no means, a php wiz, so no promises.
