With regards the fading in/out images on the homepage of the Fotofolio theme:

Is it possible to make the preview show a particular part of an image? e.g. top, middle, bottom, start at x/y co-ordinates etc.

See this website: http://www.maggietanner.co.uk

Some of the images that are displayed in the preview box on the home screen have their heads cut off. I am keen to display the head of each animal in the preview.

Is it possible to control which part of an image is previewed?

Interested in elegant solutions or hacks!

Thank for reading!

It certainly isn't elegant, but you could create a separate category to be included in the slideshow and then populate that with images which are framed in the way you would like (headshots cropped to 475 x 270px).
You could then exclude that category from your category links if you so desired.

All the best,

Matt

Excellent idea, thanks Matt.

Couple of questions:

1) How do you completely exclude a particular category from view?

2) If I were to implement your proposed solution, is there a way to turn of hyperlinking in the slideshow i.e. make the images non-clickable? Otherwise, anyone clicking on a specially cropped image in the slideshow would be taken to see that image - which I don't really want, the specially cropped images must only be seen in the slideshow and never anywhere else.

Hi,

1) To exclude the category from being listed in the page footer, alter in footer.php:
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&depth=&hierarchical=0') ?>
to...
<?php wp_list_categories('title_li=&depth=&hierarchical=0&exclude=x') ?>
where "x" is the ID of the category that you'd like to exclude.

2) To remove the links, alter in index.php:
"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $image['path']; ?>&w=475&h=270&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title() ?>" />

to...

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory') ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $image['path']; ?>&w=475&h=270&zc=1" alt="<?php the_title() ?>" />

I'm running fotofolio-landscape on my site, so I can't test these before recommending them to you. Taking a backup copy of index.php and footer.php prior to any tinkering would be a good idea :)

Hope that works for you,

Matt
