'''Request:''' Remove excess materials from the image and ensure that the persons overall appearance and face must appear bigger in his biography.--([[User talk:Kkm010|<font style="font-variant:small-caps">talk→</font>]]<span style="border:1px solid black;">''' [[User:Kkm010|Kkm010]] '''</span>[[Special:Contributions/Kkm010|<font style="font-variant:small-caps">←track</font>]]) 04:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
'''Graphist opinion(s):''' Err.. Sorry, I did that at the same time. I'll undo my version as the full image is quite nice - the whiteboard says a lot about the subject. [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 04:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:Agreed. I made the separate crop for this image because the full version is such a nice photo. Actually, it might even be better in the infobox than the crop. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 05:03, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::Or use the cropped version in the infobox but link it to the uncropped version? [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 05:14, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::..Thinking about it, {{tl|Css Image Crop}} would have done the trick without having to upload a 'hard' cropped version. Just a thought. [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 05:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Go ahead and try it ;-) – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 05:46, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Done. It wasn't easy, and the caption and padding have been lost. Perhaps using the cropped version linked to the uncropped would be wiser (though I don't know how to do that). [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 06:10, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm surprised it worked. Sometimes using a template inside a template makes a mess. I fully expected you to come back and say it doesn't work in the infobox. Glad I was wrong and glad it worked. Well... I take that back... I'm ''not'' glad I was wrong. I have issues about being wrong. Luckily though I seem to have plenty of opportunities to work through them ;-) – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 06:48, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::I could see that you were setting me up for a fall with the ol' ''wink-wink'', but I took it as a challenge. Having coded a lot of websites I have a feel for the 'quirks' and how to get around them. The CSS Image Crop is actually part of the infobox ''name'' field now, and I just removed the ''image'' field altogether. Bodge it and scarper, I say! (Only kidding - that's perfectly accepatable Wikimarkup that produces perfectly acceptable HTML.) [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 07:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::At least until someone changes the infobox template code. As I think on it, sometimes the safe and simple route is the better way to go. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 07:13, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::And... as I think about it further... maybe I wasn't actually wrong. You had to fudge the infobox code to get it to work because it doesn't work the normal way. So... technically... I was at least half right! {{=)|shades}} – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 14:43, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::Hah! Okay, I'll half give you that. Although I like to think of it as a ''novel solution'' - a single, well-formatted line of code - rather than a fudge. If you can find out how to link the cropped image to the uncropped image it would certainly reduce download time. At the moment the whole image is sent (400px wide) then cropped by the browser. [[User:Nagualdesign|nagualdesign]] ([[User talk:Nagualdesign|talk]]) 16:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::I went and changed the infobox back to the standard format. Works like a charm, won't break and all that's downloaded is a thumbnail. Though, the CSS Image Crop template would probably be wonderful for normal stand-alone images. – [[User:Jbarta|JBarta]] ([[User talk:Jbarta#top|talk]]) 18:16, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
