Hello,

I am a photographer and just built a new website on SquareSpace.
But in my shop page, where I sell posters, I can only choose one display (aspect ratio) for every article, where I'd like to customize it for each product depending on whether it's a portrait picture or landscape one or square one and so on... And same thing once you clicked on the article to show the details, if you change the aspect ratio for one article it applies to every article...

To show you an example you can check this page https://www.evanranft.com/store from Evan Ranft, where there are vertical, horizontal and square products, all displayed entirely and not cropped because of the ratio.

I hope it's clear enough and that someone will be able to help !

Thank you in advance !

Great article, thanks! I will definitely use for other projects but for my current project I'm having the same issue but with a slideshow gallery. I see in the code the aspect ratio is assigned as null. How can I get both portrait and landscape images to appear properly?

Awesome! Thanks! This fixed the portrait images, but is it possible to target the portrait images only?

Hi,

body.homepage .slide img {
    width: 100% !important;
    height: auto !important;
    left: 0 !important;
    top: 0 !important;
}

I already have a shop showing only vertical format products, and it works fine with a few CSS tweaks I found on the forums.

However I am trying to set up an additional shop page, for landscape aspect ratio products, which I have been fighting with for some time. Don't get me started on why this isn't built into SS!!!  

Anyway I tried this code (above) for the new shop page with the thumbnails, and its pretty close, which ia great step forward. The only problem is that landscape pictures have a large blank space below the image and above the description. I can see what that is, as my my current spec ratio for my shop is Vertical 2:3 format. So my question, is there an extra piece of code that will remove this bank space and bring the description directly below the product?

I have added two screenshots to show the 2 shop pages. The vertical shop is fine, the landscape shop screenshot has red circles to indicate the blank space.

My website is here --- https://nostalgique.com.au/places

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Damien

Sorry, forgot to post this in my post above.

This is how I have used the CSS code snippet in the landscape gallery which produces the blank areas...

.products.collection-content-wrapper .grid-item .grid-image-cover {
    width: 100% !important;
    height: auto !important;
    left: 0 !important;
    top: 0 !important;
}
