Tracy, the SSL renew system we use is based on DNS validation, we use letsencrypt that requires to renew Certificates every 90 days, we need you to add a TXT record to the DNS of dam.agbu.org in order to automate the renewal process.
Can you help us manage to add the folowing TXT record to the domain, please?
name: _acme-challenge.dam.agbu.org
value: 5TG02CqZYxg-p3o8Xvt2HNyAjWyHNW-l9RrI2NB3n5E

Hi Cristobal. I will have Joozer work with AGBU to take care of this but he is at another client site today. When will the certificate expire?

It is today, I managed to renew it with manually, the DNS method is our pefered method so we can automate the process, so we have time to get the dns record configured.

Hello. AGBU has alerted us to low quality image renditions in the gallery, for example, https://agbu.org/focus-2025-club-night
In our analysis, it appears we are using image550x350 which on desktop 'vertical' images and on mobile, is coming across pixelated/low quality. You can test gallery on mobile and on desktop and look specifically at the vertical orientation photos. Can we double the size of the image so that what is displays is higher quality? The client is launching this high profile gallery tomorrow.

Hello Tracy, yes gallery plugin is using 550x350 for the thumbnails, I see what you explain with vertical images, let me see if we can use our next available conversion size without impacting a lot the initial loading time.

We found a way to fix 550x350, we made the conversion actually 550x550 that way vertical images will un up to 550 too, this without changing the filename so galleries will still use the same file name when rendering. We can do this without updating the server but will need to do it after hours since re-generating all images could take at least a couple hours.

Hello Cristobal,
Unfortunately, doing that might not be sufficient.
The Gallery grid has a different user experience on mobile and desktop.
On Desktop, the user understands that these are just nice and sleek thumbnail grid galleries, and they can click to zoom and see the high-resolution images.
While on Mobile, the user sees a scrolling list of images; there is no need for them to click and open to see the high-resolution images. Here, these thumbnails need to be of better quality for mobile devices.
This is the reason we asked to double the resolution of these thumbnail images.
Hope you can help us with this.

The large images are 3000x3000 and they take a moment to load. I think on mobile there might be a compromise size?

Hello Christopher,
Thank you for your response.
We just had a quick meeting with Cristobal, he is going to do 550x550 change tonight>
For longer term we talked about 2 potential solution
1. Possibly use webp format, which provides better compression for similar resolution.
2. Having multiple image thumbnail url (my screen / viewport), so lower resolution for desktop, but higher resolution for mobile. If the tags are correctly included, the devices will pick the most appropriate image sizes.

Hello Joozer and Tracy, we made a temporary fix for the galleries, we switched to use High resolution images on all Galleries in agbu's site. Change reflected immeediately since no cache is enabled in Drupal. We are still working in a full solution to include more than one resolution on the img tag so will work for different screen sizes. We will keep you posted in the progress on that and we can test it in the B site when is ready.
