Hi,
I am using Auto Index, Gallery, Publisher and Stage (all latest version), and here's my question:
- Gallery: I'd like to get all thumbs squares, exactly the same way I have set it up for auto index (iconic, aspect ratio 16/16). there is no overlay, title or whatsoever needed - just want the thumbs square and lined up in a grid (4-5 columns). I used an older version of gallery and it was working fine, but I was not able to find this for CE4 Gallery. can you help?
- auto index and stage: I'd like to use some albums/photos with stage. can I upload to the same folder and will it show up in auto index?
- publisher: is publisher supporting auto index too (sorry if that a trivial question, but was not able to find an answer)?
- publisher: can I manage stage pages with publisher too?
Thanks for your responses,
Mark

In CE4 Gallery there is an Iconic option
Appearance > Thumbnail Grid
choose CE4 Standard and scroll down a bit until you see Iconic Layout
- auto index and stage: I'd like to use some albums/photos with stage. can I upload to the same folder and will it show up in auto index?
Not really sure what you mean. Can you elaborate? Autoindex will index Stage pages, if that's what you're asking.
- publisher: is publisher supporting auto index too (sorry if that a trivial question, but was not able to find an answer)?
Yes. They're called Album Sets

- publisher: can I manage stage pages with publisher too?
Yes. Just like Albums. Create a template with Stage and upload it to the ttg-be/templates/gallery/ folder
If you're using Stage for video pages, then see the specific video sections in the Stage documentation

Thanks for your quick reply, most of my questions are answered.
Can you please give a little more detail on how I can set Iconic layout in the same way as on the auto index pages? for gallery, it turn out to look completely different, and there is no setting like aspect ration, etc. I'd just like to have my thumbs look like squares, and let CE4 decide where to cut the photo to make it square.
Thanks for your help,

You can set thumbnail width and height with CE4 Gallery's Iconic layout. Looks like there's no option to simply set a ratio.

I can set width/height to the same size but it won't have an impact ... still no squares. is it a bug?

Near the top of the Thumbnail Grid settings you'll see Cell Width and Cell Height. Set that first. This sets the actual width and height you'll see.
Below in the Iconic section set the thumbnail width and height. Set the thumbnails large enough to fill the cell width and height.
For example. Set the Cell width and height to 200px each
Set the Thumbnail width and height to 300px each
Now the thumbnails will completely fill the cells
You may need to toggle the watermark setting to force re-rendering of the thumbnails.
