[Resolved] Slider Image Size

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Galleries allow you to choose the image size that is pulled through for the thumbnails and then the full-size image appears when you click on a thumbnail, I would expect the same behavior for a slider but it's pulling through the full-size images for each slide. It would be more efficient to have the option to pull through a smaller thumbnail if the slider has multiple columns (and then pull through the full-size image when clicked, i.e. the same behavior as the galleries).

Solution:
This feature request is escalated to the developers. And will be added in the future.

Hello, I'm testing the slider feature in toolset blocks and it seems to be missing an Image Sizes option unless I'm missing something?

Galleries allow you to choose the image size that is pulled through for the thumbnails and then the full size image appears when you click on a thumbnail, I would expect the same behaviour for a slider but it's pulling through the full size images for each slide. It would be more efficient to have the option to pull through a smaller thumbnail if the slider has multiple columns (and then pull through the full size image when clicked, i.e. the same behaviour as the galleries). Is this possible?

Also - is it possible to dynamically change the number of columns in the slider when used in a template based on the number of items in the source field? So if there is only one image in the source field it has 1 column, 2 images = 2 columns, 3 or more images = 3 columns?

Thanks

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I escalated the request to use the sizes of images in a Toolset slider block. I'll get back to you as soon as we got a reply from our 2nd Tier.
As a workaround, you can build your own slider using a view and image blocks, then you will need to add a Javascript library for making slides and use both the thumbnails and the full-width images.

Regarding the change of columns based on how many images, there is no way to do that, on the slider block. Instead, you will have to create different sliders and conditionally display the one that suits the number of images.
I hope this makes sense, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Jamal, I thought as much on the second question but thanks for confirming. I'll await your response from 2nd Tier.

Thanks

Hello,

Our 2nd Tier is evaluating this feature request and will escalate it to the developers. However, it may take some time before this feature is added to Toolset. Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated date yet.
As there is nothing else, we at support can do, we suggest marking this ticket as resolved.

Best regards,
Jamal
