In reply to: [Waving Portfolio] Ability to use thumbnail size?I am having a similar issue where I have pages with hundreds of images and all of them are being displayed at the correct size but the server is being called for the full sized images. This makes the pages take at least 10 seconds or more to load which is unacceptable according to my own standards and Googles.
I highly support Greghaygood’s proposed solution.

In reply to: [Waving Portfolio] Alt Text and Titles on Portfolio Images & LinksAelbuni,
Thank you for the update it works well. I think the biggest thing that still remains is making the plugin pull thumbnail sized images instead of full sized ones for the galleries. It definitely slows page load speed way down.
I will post on another support ticket for this issue.

In reply to: [Waving Portfolio] Alt Text and Titles on Portfolio Images & LinksI found a workaround for part of the issue but I think in the future you should look into adding a way to control or incorporate the individual image titles and alt texts into the portfolio galleries. For both the thumbnails and the blown up images within the light-box popups.
From what I discovered the complicated part comes in because the portfolio gallery is itself a post and pulling the alt text from its post id gives you the featured image’s alt text but I have found no way of pulling the alt text for the other images within the gallery that are not the featured image.
My work around is:
alt=”‘.$alt.’ Photo ‘.$counter++.'”
This makes each image in a particular portfolio gallery have an alt text like `alt=”Car Shots Photo 1″‘. I still have not figured out a workaround for the images contained within the LB portion of the plugin though so that is my next project.
Aside from these issues I do really like this plugin, quite user friendly!

In reply to: [Waving Portfolio] Alt Text and Titles on Portfolio Images & Linksaelbuni, this is a very time sensitive issue, a prompt reply would be greatly appreciated. If I am heading in the wrong direction please let me know but either way I do need to attribute the alt text and title to the images asap. Thanks in advance!
