thx

very userfriendly
Works OK, could be better
by crdunst·11 years ago·1 reply
The widget pulls in images fine, but the main issue for me is the size parameters. I can only add px values, not percentages or auto.
This means that my images are being forced into set heights/widths, regardless of the proportions of the original photos, leading to image stretching.
I manually had to override the height in my own css with height: auto!important; to overcome this, but it would be great if there was slightly more control in the widget settings to allow for more control.
Thanks for the plugin so far though!
Good enough.

It works as it should. One suggestion is if the photos are from a group, link the photo to the actual group stream and not the user stream.
