Is there a way for all thumbnails appearing on the frontpage 'Featured Listings' to be of a uniform size?

The only thing I can think of doing this is changing the template where the images are displayed. Just set a width="100" height="100" in the img tag.

Michael,

I set only one dimension so that photos are not distorted. Setting row height on the horizontal layout keeps a nice uniform row height and neat appearance. For verticle set only the width.

Do this where the featured ads are generated:
/includes/classes/smarty/plugins/function.feature_listings_horizontal.php[_vertical.php]

//start image
$output.="<a href='". $link ."'><img src='".$loop[$x][image]."' border='0' height='75'></a><br />";

Check my site for example. Items like the "EV Eliminator" speaker or "Fender Jazz Bass" would push two rows high before I set a limit. Now it displays quite nicely.

Thank you Greg, that works just as you described it. Can I ask for a little more help though?

Some users will post images smaller than the minimum we set. For example, I chose a vertical height of 70 pixels but my first test ad used an image with a height of only 49 pixels.

The hack you shared enlarges that image to 70px and of course distorts it. See the red sports car at http://www.mkclassifieds.co.uk/index.php

Can we introduce an if/else command that would resize the images to the height we choose only if they are of a greater height to begin with?

Just bumping it 'cos i see you're online Greg

Working on it now...

This should do it:

//start image
$setimghght='70px'; //set the height here
$fimage = $loop[$x][image];
$findsize = getimagesize($fimage); 
$imgheight = $findsize[1];
if($imgheight>$setimghght){$imgheight=$setimghght;}
$output.="<a href='". $link ."'><img src='".$fimage."' border='0' height='".$imgheight."'></a><br />";

Perfect! Thanks greg!

[gregbatch]

Ooops! Better put the marks in just to be safe...

height='".$imgheight."'

It may work fine now, but could come back to haunt you if you move to another server.

Much appreciated, thanks.
