Slim-Plus: Unfold logo-entries by default?

@ Roy

It is possible, but not out of the box, you would have to mod the template PHP code. In very generic pseudo code it would be; if logo do not add the hide CSS class.

@ Roy

Not sure I’d be adding this to a template. You’d have to customize the template. Right now, if no logo is added, no logo will be shown.

I’m guessing you will be showing the logo in place of the image, yes?

That can be done easily by settings a shortcode option for Slim Plus. Rather than altering the code, there is another option. If you create a category named show and assign it to the entries that you want open by default, they will be.

Will that work?

@ Roy

To change the image from the photo to the logo you would use:
[connections image='logo']

Thinking about this a little more, the default for Slim Plus will be to crop and resize proportionally to best fit the specified dimensions, maintaining the aspect ratio. This is generally fine for photos, not good for logos because they will get cut off.

Probably the best thing to do is edit the card.php file. Change these lines:

$entry->getImage( array(
	'image'    => $atts['image'],
	'height'   => 120,
	'width'    => 100,
	'fallback' => array(
		'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'],
		'string'   => $atts['str_image']
		)
	)
);

to this:

$entry->getImage( array(
	'image'    => $atts['image'],
	'height'   => 120,
	'width'    => 100,
	'fallback' => array(
		'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'],
		'string'   => $atts['str_image']
		),
	'zc'       => 2,
	)
);

Now, the logos will be resized proportionally to fit entire image into the specified dimensions and add margins if required.

That should do the trick nicely. Hope that helps!

No, see this FAQ. This feature is already built into the template. By adding the Show category and adding it to an entry, that entry will display open by default, rather than closed.

re: And instead of changing card.php, can’t I just upload a 1×1 pixel *.jpg as image along with the logo to the entries with logos?
I don’t understand, do you or do you not want to show the logo?

@ Roy

Yes, Slim Plus can show a logo, see this reply for the details.
