Hi Support

Is there a way to get the first blog image the same size on the blog post and on the blog list.

Here is an e.g.:

http://finalbug.net/blog/entry/403-making-a-viral-video-with-a-bezillion-views

The original size is 800 pixels times Y.
i.e. I am talking about X & Y co-ordinates.

Important is the width and the ratio of the width to the height!!!

thanks

Paul
Hello Paul,

I added the following css code inside the custom.css file.
#ezblog-body .blog-text img, #ezblog-body .blog-content img {

width: 800px;

height: auto;

}


Regarding on the eb5 image sizing concern, I got words from developers that said blog image (also known as blog cover image) will be fixed in size across the site and there is no setting to change it. For blog image content however you are free to adjust the sizing during the creation of blog post and the size will be the same across the site.

Hi Paul,

If I understand you correctly, you can find the option in: Components / Easyblog / Themes.

Edit your theme and adjust the image dimensions i the tab "Blog Image". Don't forget to press the "Clean images" button to make sure the changes appear


Hope this help.

Hi Aikigi

Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Yeah this looks very much the right place to fix this.
I have made the adjustments as illustrated in the screen shots Before/After.
I did the cache clean thing but still seem to have images that are the wrong size.
i.e. I would really like them to have a width of 800 times 450 on both the Blog post and front page.

Guess that I am really close to a solution.


@ Support: Maybe support can give me the final nudge to get this working...

@ Aikigi

I read your post here:

http://stackideas.com/forums/questions-about-easysocial-upcoming-video-feature

I like the way you are thinking about video.
Do you have a link to your site so that I could have a look at it?

again thank you

Paul

@Paul
Yes I think that's the way media should be handle nowadays

Here is my site but I didn't integrate it yet with HWDmediashare on my live site as I'm waiting to see how ES video will be working (just in case!)

About your images issue, sorry I thought it would work! Hope you'll find a solution.

Hi Aikigi

Had a quick look at your site and really liked it.
Nice work.
Really like the way that you have a very clear mission statement.
Will check in more detail when I have a chance.

Hi Support

Just in case this is not clear I am still struggling with the size of my images on the front page layout?!

Would be great to get to the bottom of this once and for all...

Or at least until EB 5 is up and running

thanks in advance

Paul

Hello Paul,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

I've enforce the image dimension via css inside your /templates/wanderers/css/custom.css to 800x450 pixels in size. Can you check for me and see if the blog image is resizing correctly across your site?

Please advise.

Hi Ezrul

It looks great thanks.
This is a great help...

I looked at the custom and have to confess that I did not see/understand the code that you added to achieve this.
Could you kindly post the code here so that I can understand.
In an emergency I might/should be able to readjust myself in the future.

One last question will this effect EB 5 when it is up and running or is that independent?

thanks in advance

Paul
