In the Teline IV demo for Joomla 2.5 all sample images are held locally on server. How can one get images resized (thumbnails) for menus in blog layout that are on remote URL? Is there a suitable module to use like JAnews for Teline II? On http://jatct4j25.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/ind-news you will see an image in the HP DesignJet 3D … article where the image is remote and hence not resized as a thumbnail.

Hi timtecsa,

I think It’s impossible, how an external image can be resized ! why don’t you save those images into your server and then put them directly into your article contents.

Currently I use Teline 2 with JA News and remote images are resized in section / category views without difficulty. With over 50,000 news posts, local storage is totally impractical and should be unnecessary. See: http://www.globalprintmonitor.info

See: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial/publishing/1086-test-of-ja-thumbnail-on-remote-image and http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial/publishing and http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/

For some reason the Home page image in JA News default module is blank and the URL is wrong: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg

Any idea why the URL is incorrect?

I see that your article posted on the homepage (see the screenshot):

+ The image within articles “Test of JA Thumbnail on remote image” uses absolute path “http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg”

+ Meanwhile, Ja NewsPro module use resized and thumbnail images within content. However, it only supports relative path. Thus, you need to change from absolute to relative path:

For example:

Replace:

<blockquote>http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg</blockquote>

With:
<blockquote>press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg</blockquote>

Hope this helps

I think the erroneous link for the thumbnail is generated by Joomla and/or JA Newspro, not me. All I know is to enter in the article is the URL of the image. We have been happily entering such URLs for years on J1.5, Teline ii based site without such errors being generated on thumbnails.

This is the html in the article:

<p><img class=”caption” style=”float: left;” title=”researcher prints christmas trees from gas turbine steel” src=”http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg” alt=”researcher prints christmas trees from gas turbine steel” /></p>

I don’t see any posting error. The URL for the remote image is: “http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg” which is entered in the editor box labelled Image URL. The image appears correctly in the article but the JA Newspro module does not show the correct thumbnail image, for the reason you have stated. How can someone posting an article with a remote image URL do anything other than I describe above?

Also, as you can see here, http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial/publishing the image is leading and not resized by JA Thumbnails module. Nor is the next remote image in the article titled:NSA Just Needs a Better Name, New Service Offerings [/h]And, of course, they are all incorrect here: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial

The only JA module that generates correct thumbnails for remote images seems to be JA Featured as shown here: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/ but, for example, if you select the last story in featured (Tortor est Aenean porttitor) you get this – http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/sport/sport-news/horse-racing – which seems to show that JA Thumbnail fails to resize the same remote image that Featured has correctly resized.

What am I missing?

As I mentioned earlier that Ja NewsPro module do resize thumbnail images within content. However, it only supports relative path.

In this case, you need to open article and change image’s absolute path with relative path. For instance:
Replace:
Absolute path: http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg
With:
Relative path: press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg

In these links: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial and http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/index.php/editorial/publishing, JA Newspro and JA Thumbnail could not handle images having Absolute path in articles.

For your information, you can check our resized thumbnail at our demo: http://joomla-templates.joomlart.com/ja_teline_iv/index.php. I captured a screenshot for your reference:

I have changed the URL for the intro image in Images and Links for the article: Test of JA Thumbnail on remote image as suggested to: press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg
See here: http://gpm3beta1-2014.globalprintmonitor.info/

As you can see, now none of the JA modules displays any thumbnail for this image. I suspect they cannot find any image to resize because the image is located on on a remote server at http://www.siemens.com i.e. it’s not on my site’s server. I didn’t change the URL for the main article image so it still appears in the article with full URL:
http://www.siemens.com/press/pool/de/pressebilder/2013/photonews/072dpi/PN201317/PN201317-01_072dpi.jpg

Any more suggestions or should I just give up on Teline iv? Is there any Joomlart template for Joomla 3 with modules that handle resizing of remote images as Teline ii + JA News does brilliantly on Joomla 1.5?
