Enlarging Thumbnails
Enlarging Thumbnails
Mouse over? How can I make thumbnail pix bigger on (say) mouse over .. or by some other means .. when a viewer wants to enlarge just the one pic at a time?

Re: Enlarging Thumbnails
If you merely want larger thumbnails, there is a configuration setting that determines thumbnail dimensions. From the admin page, go to Administration -> Configuration -> Image Conversion Settings.
If you want a hover effect to open a larger version of your image, check out the lightbox/greybox/thickbox event plugin.

Thanks, Don. My version of Serendipity is provided by Aplus.net. Do the implementations vary? Can't find any mention of this plug-in on the list of plug-ins shown on this site.

I do not know if your version varies. You have two choices for plugins.johncox wrote:Thanks, Don. My version of Serendipity is provided by Aplus.net. Do the implementations vary? Can't find any mention of this plug-in on the list of plug-ins shown on this site.
First, go to Appearance -> Configure Plugins. The first set of plugins are Sidebar plugins. The second set are Event Plugins. Look for an event Plugin named Spartacus. Install it, which will hopefully allow you to fetch plugins (and templates) from the serendipity repository. Once installed, search the respository for the Lightbox plugin. Its pretty popular, though I have never used it.
If you cannot install Spartacus, or it will not work properly with your provider, you can download plugins and templates manually here, then ftp them to your hosting account.

Re: Enlarging Thumbnails
You've been very helpful, Don, but one thing seems to lead to another!! The system won't save the plugin because .. "Fetched 359124 bytes from already existing file on your server. Saving file as /services/webpages/l/a/lamartinie.fr/public/blogs/templates_c/package_event_en.xml...
Cannot write to directory /services/webpages/l/a/lamartinie.fr/public/blogs//plugins/. Please check the permissions."
I can't find any directories with exactly these names on my site .. similar, but not identical .. I've freed up the permissions on the ones I can find, but it still won't save the plugin.

Hi
Using an FTP tool you must make the directory "plugins" writable for the PHP user, i.e. 777.
