Hi there,

This issue came up as a ‘sub-plot’ in another forum post – but it probably warrants the attention from having it’s own thread.

Originally came up in http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/opal-ignores-category-blog-layout-rules/ and attached .jpg’s to my posts there show it visually….

Article thumbnails seem to get shrunk down? My articles start with 100px by 100px images – ie that’s what got put into the Joomla Article editor. Now with Opal, on Category Blog layout, it creates a 100 x 100 frame – but the actual images inside gets super-shrunk and much smaller than that…. How can we stop that happening?!?!!!

Hi acbonner,

For this case, please open templatesja_opalhtmlcom_contentfrontpagedefault.php file, find following code to change:

+ For leading:

[PHP]//Leading image size
$this->imageWidth = 310;
$this->imageHeight =230;[/PHP]

+ For intro:

[PHP]//intro image size
$this->imageWidth = 185;
$this->imageHeight = 115;[/PHP]

1 user says Thank You to JA Developer for this useful post

Thanks – This helped (for me it was the category/blog.php file to change – but same principle)

However I thnk I’ve found a bug now whilst working with com_content/category/blog.php….

1) I set imageWidth and imageHeight on both ‘Leading Image size’ and ‘Intro Image size’ to 100px and everything looks fine for me…. So far so good….

2) If I then change the imageWidth and imageHeight on just the ‘Leading Image Size’ then that frame / image resizes fine, BUT it then shrinks the images in my other non-lead articles within their frame (This is the pic attached) – even though their settings remain 100px width and height???

(Note: In the pic attached the top leading image is only a 100px by 100px image – so I’m not concerned here about the black space in that first pic frame – I understand that’s because my original image is 100 by 100)

Make sense? Is this a confirmed bug???? Can it be fixed?!!!
