Kludgy feeling or not, we are happy to be linking into the “last talked about” WordPress Blog Search Within Search Posting Progress Context Tutorial WordPress “URL not found” 404.php code methodologies here, as a great “intervention point”. We often find the biggest joy in web application code modifications is to identify “code lazy (for us)” “intervention points” that mean most of the hard part of the job is done for you, by others (here, that being the great WordPress TwentyTen theme “codex” PHP code helped out by Apache web server .htaccess permalink configurations) before you add your own “situation specific” interventional code.

And so, once at 404.php code, we add new global variables and functions …

a URL such as https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/ITblog/537/500 will pick a random RJM Programming Blog tutorial picture and show …
[image data URI of tutorial picture]#[blog posting title]
… along with the happy discovery along the way that the “#[blog posting title]” can be tagged onto a base64 data URI and still successfully display the image
whereas a URL such as https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/ITblog/537/500/ will pick a random RJM Programming Blog tutorial picture and show it

… the combination allowing ourchanged proofof concept CSS (styling) “object-fit” experimenting web application to be now allowing for two sources of image data which the user can select between, themselves, with the RJM Programming WordPress Blog images also containing clickable links back to the WordPress Blog post of relevance. You can also try this here.

Image Pair Fitting into a Given Dimension Primer Tutorial

One of the most “catered for” part of webpage design involves the display of images. Our recent “stumbling upon” …

the excellent Lorem Picsum resource for beautiful images suiting a given width x height … had us looking around for an interesting image related theme to “tutorialize” and “stumbled upon” …
the excellent CSS object-fit Property explanation of CSS “object-fit” property …

… facilitating the interest in the scenario …

you are presented with “webpage real estate” of a given width x height … into which …
you want to display two images side by side …

… and in this scenario the use of “object-fit” property values …

Here is where the object-fit property comes in. The object-fit property can take one of the following values:

fill – This is default. The image is resized to fill the given dimension. If necessary, the image will be stretched or squished to fit
contain – The image keeps its aspect ratio, but is resized to fit within the given dimension
cover – The image keeps its aspect ratio and fills the given dimension. The image will be clipped to fit
none – The image is not resized
scale-down – the image is scaled down to the smallest version of none or contain

… creates interesting variety in how you can configure this scenario depending on your (constraint) interest in …

you are constrained by fact you must see all the image’s content in original aspect ratio … think … contain or scale-down
you are constrained by fact you must see all the image’s content but not necessarily with original aspect ratio … think … fill or contain or scale-down
you are constrained by fact that your “webpage real estate” of the given width x height must be filled (by imagery) … think … fill or cover (or (quite often, but not always) none)
you must keep original image dimensions but clipping okay … think … none
you must keep original aspect ratio of images but clipping okay … think … contain or cover or none or scale-down

… and then there is …

What happens when you resize your webpage window?
