Alternate view for CombiNews / Latest Images by Album - Thumbnail

Hello all,

I use this news view on my site, so that new thumbnails for an album show up, but to save space, the image titles & descriptions are not shown on the news page. However, they are formatted with one thumbnail per line. In my case, I'd like to have the thumbnails side-by-side (only in thumbnail mode, and only when the title and description are disabled).

I have modified my copy of zenpage-template-functions.php, but wasn't sure if this should be added to the tracker as an enhancement with a patch, or if it should be made a separate option (group-thumbnails or something), or if I'm the only one interested, so I should just keep it to myself :-)

Suggestions?

    Well, it is made this way for convenience, if case you have a sized images this looks best out of the box. Have you tried to style this via CSS?

    There is also the latest images by album CombiNews option which groups thumbs in one news entry, which can be style via CSS.

    It does look best that way for sized images, agreed - I was talking about doing side-by-side flowed thumbnails only for the thumbnail view.

    I'll look into the CSS option - maybe I can get the latestimagesbyalbum class to not wrap for each image. Thanks for the tip - I'll let you know how it goes.

    Latest images by album is actually setup to "mimic" the thumbnail view like on album pages

    As a follow-up, there is a `
    ` appended between images, so this would have to come out.

    Whoops, ignore that part about the `
    ` - that was from some changes I was experimenting with, not from the original code.
