Use mini thumb for the album thumbnail?

[Walker]

Is it possible to use the mini thumbs for the albums thumbnail?

I have the album thumbnail size set to the same size as my mini thumbs, and find that the images do not look nearly as good when the html resizes the thumbs as they would if I could just use the mini thumbs at their native resolution.

I've been looking at sample/theme.php and I think that some modifications to

Code Select Expand

function theme_display_album_list and

Code Select Expand

function theme_display_album_list_cat should do the trick, but I just don't know what edits to make.

I took a stab at it and changed

Code Select Expand

'{ALB_LINK_PIC}' => $album['thumb_pic'], to

Code Select Expand

'{ALB_LINK_PIC}' => $album['mini_pic'], but that resulted in no album thumbnails at all.

Any suggestions?

not a biggie if your thumbs have the same ratio as the mini thumbs... then just change

Code Select Expand

                $pic_url = get_pic_url($picture, 'thumb');
to

Code Select Expand

                $pic_url = get_pic_url($picture, 'mini');

otherwise you also have to uncomment the call to the image size calculation

Code Select Expand

if($picture['system_icon']=='true'){
                $image_size = compute_img_size($picture['pwidth'], $picture['pheight'], $CONFIG['alb_list_thumb_size'], true, 'cat_thumb');
                } else {
    $image_size = compute_img_size($picture['pwidth'], $picture['pheight'], $CONFIG['alb_list_thumb_size'], false, 'cat_thumb');
}
to

Code Select Expand

if($picture['system_icon']=='true'){
                $image_size = compute_img_size($picture['pwidth'], $picture['pheight'], $CONFIG['alb_list_thumb_size'], true, 'cat_thumb');
                } else {
    //$image_size = compute_img_size($picture['pwidth'], $picture['pheight'], $CONFIG['alb_list_thumb_size'], false, 'cat_thumb');
}

Thank you Stramm, but where might I find the code you mention?
It is not in sample/theme.php

Please forgive my ignorance, but I don't know where else to look.

[Stramm]

oh, sorry... index.php

[Walker]

Thank you very much Stramm

Replacing all 4 occurrences of

Code Select Expand

$pic_url = get_pic_url($picture, 'thumb'); with

Code Select Expand

$pic_url = get_pic_url($picture, 'mini');
in index.php worked perfectly
