Quick question about Slider resizing my images

Hello I changed my slider CSS assuming it would be relatively simple to get a different sized image in the sliders. I set the CSS dimensions to the size of the slider images (950px * 336px), for some reason the slider php is still resizing the image and it is being cut off by a hard crop. I can't seem to find the code doing this. Some solutions suggested I change code in the functions.php or slider.php, yet I can't seem to implement this correctly.

So in summary I would like to have my slider images which are 950px * 336px show up correctly in the sliders.

My website: http://liv.tv

The slider.php:

<div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
<?php $posts_counter = 0; ?>
<?php
query_posts("post_type=slider&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish");
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $posts_counter++;
?>
<?php
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);
$url = get_post_custom_values("slider-url");
$sl_thumb = $custom["thumb"][0];
$sl_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'slider-post-thumbnail');
$tab_title = get_post_custom_values("tab-title");
?>
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail( $the_ID) || $sl_thumb!=""){ ?>

<?php if($url!=""){ ?>
<?php if($sl_thumb!=""){
echo "<a href='" . $url[0] . "'>";
echo "<img src='" . $sl_thumb . "' alt='";
echo $tab_title[0];
echo "' title='#sliderCaption" . $posts_counter . "' />";
echo "</a>";
} else{
echo "<a href='" . $url[0] . "'>";
echo "<img src='";
echo $sl_image_url[0];
echo "' alt='";
echo $tab_title[0];
echo "' title='#sliderCaption" . $posts_counter . "' />";
echo "</a>";
} ?>
<?php }else{ ?>
<?php if($sl_thumb!=""){
echo "<img src='" . $sl_thumb . "' alt='";
echo $tab_title[0];
echo "' title='#sliderCaption" . $posts_counter . "' />";
} else{
echo "<img src='";
echo $sl_image_url[0];
echo "' alt='";
echo $tab_title[0];
echo "' title='#sliderCaption" . $posts_counter . "' />";
} ?>
<?php } ?>




<?php } ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>
</div>
<?php $posts_counter = 0; ?>
<?php
query_posts("post_type=slider&posts_per_page=-1&post_status=publish");
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); $posts_counter++;
?>
<?php
$custom = get_post_custom($post->ID);

As you can see I tried adding it as a new image size which did not work.

      When I tried to upload the image, it says "Could not set that as the thumbnail image. Try a different attachment." It did not do that before.

      That didn't work, I assume it's close. But it doesn't add an image size to the panel, it's still being re-sized incorrectly.

      Resent info.

    • 06/15/12 3:17am

      so now i guess the only thing that need to be change is this


      $sl_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full');


      for now ive set it that all image be pulled on the featured image.

      but if you want to use the custom image link you can use it i can reset it to pull

      image in the custom link or the featured image you just have to make sure that
      your custom image has the right dimension.

      let me know so i can change it.


      cheers,


    • 06/15/12 3:48am

      Romel Apuya says:

      ok here's what we need to do

      1. revert the theme files to a working copy.
      2. change the line

      $sl_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'slider-post-thumbnail');

      to


      $sl_image_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), 'full');

      3. make sure the image in the Link picture page is also of dimension 950px X 336px.



      when done it should be working fine.


      you need not set both the featured image and the custom Link picture



      cheers,

      images Dimensions is 836 × 336 in slider

      Of course it'll a little stretching.

    • 06/15/12 12:35am

      liv says:

      Can you change that to 950px? Where is that code that determines that width? I don't see it in the CSS.

    • 06/15/12 12:37am

      liv says:

      The image is actually 950px * 336px, like I said the image is being re-sized when put in the slider, that was the entire issue.

      liv says:

      http://liv.tv/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/banner_livestream2.jpg this is the image, it is being resized which is what I wanted to change so it would show the full image.

    • 06/15/12 2:39am

      Rashad Aliyev says:

      http://liv.tv/
      What you doing here ? :-(
      Blieve me if your images width isn't 950 of course it'll a little stretching.
      I fixed for you the nivo slider js and slider.php...
      If you want that it showing the full image i propose you change the images height to 381 px;
      That is all..it'll showing the full image..
      I dont think there are any other solution

      liv says:

      Romel figured it with with changing a function in the slider.php
