[TYPO3-english] Couple questions related to my project

[Michael de Jong]

Hi All,

I am building a company website localy on my PC, but have a couple of questions that i can't seem to find.

1) I am using image cycle for my homepage banner on the website. But the cropping doesn't seem to work like i want it to. The image i uploaded was a 1024x768 and i would like to crop this to 860x280. The thing is that this image only gets resized to the 860 width ratio with the height that is needed to keep the image correct. 

I would like crop this image center center to the 860x280 format here is my plugin code:

plugin.tx_imagecycle_pi1 {
  cssMinify = 1
  jsMinify = 1
  jsInFooter = 1
  type = fade
  captionSync = 1
  integerWidthWrap.wrap = |c-50
  integerHeightWrap.wrap = |c-50
}

The widht and height is configured in the backend of the plugin, this because it doesn't seem to matter where i put the width and heigt because the end result is the same.

2) I am trying to get a gmenu_foldout to work. This because i use font-face and the fonts are rendered differently in each browser and by making it an image it's the same in every browser. I have tried the example in the TYPO3 book, i also tried the example on this webpage:
http://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/TyposcriptReference/MenuObjects/GmenuFoldout/Index.html  but i can't seem to get this to work :( 

I am using TYPO3 version 4.7.12

I really hope that anyone can help me with this.

Kind regards.
Michael
