Web template variables for thumbnail dimensions

Post by XnTriq »

Most – if not all – of XnView's web templates are built with tables. The downside of this approach is that the thumbnail pages have a fixed number of columns.

I made a few “fluid” gallery templates years ago for my own personal use. They're based on lists or DIVs and have an integrated JavaScript lightbox.
Unfortunately, I always have to manually edit XnView's HTML output, because there currently is no way to retrieve the values of Width and Height from Create » Web Page... » Thumbnail. (#THUMB_WIDTH# & #THUMB_HEIGHT# apparently only work inside #THUMB_ROW_START# & #THUMB_ROW_END# or #THUMB_START# & #THUMB_END# or #THUMB2_START# and #THUMB2_END#.)

I'm requesting two new variables: #THUMB_WIDTH_MAX# and #THUMB_HEIGHT_MAX#

Here's a barebones example:

}

text-align: center;

OK, I found the problem :mrgreen:
If the template (thumb.html) is saved with LF instead of CR+LF line breaks, output is faulty:

Yes, I'm referring to the values for Width and Height as entered by the user in the Web page Create dialog.

Would it be very difficult to allow basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and percentage?

Thanks for adding #THUMB_WIDTH_MAX# and #THUMB_HEIGHT_MAX# in version 2.23, Pierre.

It seems that these variables are only “active” if placed in between #THUMB_START# & #THUMB_END# and #THUMB2_START# & #THUMB2_END#.
Could you please make them “globally” available (like #TITLE#) so that they can be used in the document's header for CSS and JS includes?

I believe there's been a misunderstanding.
The current implementation of #THUMB_WIDTH_MAX# & #THUMB_HEIGHT_MAX# seems to return the values of Width & Height in Picture » Size maximum. Can you confirm this, Pierre?

I was referring to Width & Height of Thumbnail:

Is it possible to share your “fluid” gallery templates you have created?
The default templates are all based on tables, which is outmoded in web-design...

Thanks
