I have designed my site in CE3 Pages/Gallery, but put publish on hold when I got the notice about CE4 coming. Before I invest the time (more than money) in the upgrade/overhaul, I have a problem/bias/quirk I need to implement. The TTG/CE galleries are biased to horizontal (16x9, 6x4) format, and "diminish" the effect of verticals by reducing them (6x9, 2.7x4). The photographer in me wants "equalization." I want the image to dictate the crop variation rather than the screen proportions. I want the gallery to show the images in their relative proportions rather than have the screen display distort the size (big horizontal / small vertical).
How can I create a gallery image "container" that is square and maybe elastic, so that it will resize to the crop dimensions of the image - 6x4, 4x6, 5x5, 4x5, 4x4, whatever (and maybe even put a 5px white border around around the image, programmed as image border or container padding)? If not "elastic," then I want to center the image in the container regardless of its crop dimension. I was able to do this in the SlideShowPro LR/Flash plugin I customized. I was able to come close to this effect in the CE3 2014 template and would use it if I could add a slideshow auto play to it.
I have no experience with php, but I am pretty comfortable with html/css. Any help? or do I need to search for a different html 5 / php solution?
Navigation "Home" mapped to index.html returns the gallery to the grid. I want to avoid the problem of progressing through the individual photos, then back to the index but can't get out of the gallery to return to my Home page in Dreamweaver site.
1. Can I insert code in the template to return all galleries from the template to the site HOME page?
2. The "Index" with "Previous" and "Next" on the right side of navigations returns to the last seen Index page rather than the first one where there are multiple index pages. How can I get it to go back to the start?
3. Or, how can I use "HOME" to go to website HOME page, add "GRID" to go to first page of INDEX pages, and keep "Index" on right side to go where it already goes.
I am familiar with HTML and CSS code.
Thanks!
