I am having a hard time getting the canvas image to work how I'd like

Am I correct that the canvas is the new form of the main blog image from before the upgrade to 5?

If so is there a group of settings to replicate the old blog image

If not I guess my question is how to make the image responsive? It seems to be hard to have the images come out different based on their original sizes.. am I using canvas when I should be using media?

Do you have a tutorial on the new canvas images? I can't even get them aligned well particuarly having a hard time with centering.
Hey Keith,

I am sorry that delay of this reply,

That was known issue, by the way I've applied following css in your current template JoomlaFolder/templates/rt_chimera/css/rt_chimera-custom.css



@media (min-width: 992px) {

 div#fd.eb .eb-post-thumb.is-center .eb-post-image, 

 div#fd.eb .eb-post-thumb.is-center .eb-post-image-cover {

     display: inline-block;

 }

}


It should work fine now.

Hi Keith,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Do you mean by blog cover image? You can actually adjust the behavior of the cover image from your backend > easyblog > settings > layout > post cover for both frontpage listing and entry view.

Yea I have seen this and was messing with it but the results weren't entirely what I wanted, however, i'm thinking that part of the problem was caching. If you donn't hear from me for another day or two you are safe to assume my problem was a caching problem....

it might pay to give the user individual options per post for adjusting each cover photo. Like for instance the default cropping may crop the image in a poor way....

anyway ill get back to you if i have additional problems

Hey Keith,

Thanks for updating us on this. The "Post Cover" in EasyBlog 5 is what we called "Blog Image" on EasyBlog 3.9. It has pretty much the same functionality minus the complexity. For instance, in 3.9 it has those resizing methods but believe me, we have handled enough support issues related to this and 9 out of 10 customer's doesn't really know what it does.

Hence, we leave the cropping of the photo to CSS rather than messing around with the physical image altogether. In the Post Cover settings, you can now choose to crop the photo or allow it to be responsive. It's pretty powerful. You can try the combination of (cropping + responsive) and setting a fixed height to give a nice touch to your post covers.
