JA Bulletin has no ‘crop image’ function that I can see: it simply asks for Image width & height – I enter 100w X 56h BUT it displays the image at 100w X 29h</blockquote>
Hi SHoggard
I’m a newbie to both Joomla and Teline but I’ve spent the morning trying to work out what’s going wrong and there seem to be two reasons why your images are being cropped.
First, the resize image parameters in the JA Bulletin module only seem to work properly if the original image dimensions are even numbers and can be scaled using a common number. Photoshop can be a bit dodgy when it comes to giving proportionate measurements, so it might be best to stick to simple sums JA Bulletin can cope with. For example, try making all your images 460 x 260 and set the parameters to 115 width and 65 height (the common divider being 4). It seems to be able to handle that.
I think the second reason they get cropped is the CSS which controls the list style in JA Bulletin, with overflow set to hidden in line 110 of template.css. You’ll notice that more of the cropped image appears if the title of the article runs on to a second line. My solution – and I made this work using the settings above (460px x 260px image in the article and parameters set to 115w and 65h) – was to change the mod_jabulletin.css file (templates/ja_teline_iii/css/mod_jabulletin.css).
Find this on line 19:
ul.ja-bullettin li {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 0 !important;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #E6E6E6;
background: url(../images/arrow.png) no-repeat 2px 9px !important;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
line-height: normal;
}
and change to this:
ul.ja-bullettin li {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 0 !important;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #E6E6E6;
background: url(../images/arrow.png) no-repeat 2px 9px !important;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
line-height: normal;
height: 65px; /* Height set in module image parameter */
}
I’m assuming this would only work if all your main images would resize to the height you set in the module parameters and the css,
Hope that helps.
Best
