Hello
In EasyBlog 3 , there is a file named 'image.ini' (example: components\com_easyblog\themes\my_them\image.ini) that enables users to define new image(thumbnail) size for specific usage. how we can do it in version 5 because there is no such a file. also we don't want to make any changes in our core. how can we do that when we update the previous version to the new one.

Hey shahryarjb,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

In Easyblog 5, when you upload image in Easyblog build-in composer, system will generate the image to 6 type of image source display on right panel, check my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/Z0NT4Pd67J , so the user can select which image source he want to display on the post.

Hope this help.

Hello Arlex
can we use this size in all modules or templates?
and can we used fixed size (in pixels) instead of relative size (percentage)?
and can I determine the method and size?
and how to rebuild all my previous images ?

hey shahryarjb,

Perhaps you can provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can take a look for this?

And can you guide us which module image size you would like to set back what you configured this before Easyblog 3.9x version?

Hello Arlex
The new version of the site on the local work and access does not exist, what we want to create a custom-sized thumbnail images in the EasyBlog5 is, it was possible EasyBlog3 ( image attached), but we EasyBlog5 not found.
EasyBlog3 in we could define a new thumbnail photos to use the following code in the new module and teamplate.

$post[$i]->getImage()->getSource('ThumSizeName');

Hey shahryarjb and SAT,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as we were involved in the preparation for the Joomla conference here in Malaysia.

If you are referring for the module image, you can actually modify the image size from the module itself > post cover tab > post layout

Example : Easyblog - latest post module (check my attached screenshot below)

Hope this will help.

Hello again Arlex
my question is,in the image you have posted, how can I add a new source to the "photo source" section?
for example I want to add a new source named source_1 with 60x60 pixels. this is because in a low internet connection, I want it easy to users to load the page that has images. using "crop photo" feature changes the size of displying image not the actual size and thats the problem. other than that I need to know how to add new source in "photo source" section for other purposes.

Hey shahryarjb,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply,

Actually I am still a little bit lost here, because when you upload the image in media manager, it will generate 6 type of image source and store in your image stores location, e.g. original, large, medium, thumbnail, smail and icon.

You also can create your own custom size from your image from composer, take a look of my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/L92HD5rLTco5

In Easyblog 5 we already fixed by 6 types of image source, so previously the Easyblog 3.9 image source setting already no exist in Easyblog 5. (By default it will selected to use `thumbnail` image source when you upload the image ) - screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/DKrPM2vPy0Ij

EasyBlog3 in we could define a new thumbnail photos to use the following code in the new module and teamplate.

$post[$i]->getImage()->getSource('ThumSizeName');

In Easyblog 5. you can use this following code to define the image source.
$post->getImage('thumbnail')



other than that I need to know how to add new source in "photo source" section for other purposes.

Do you mean you would like to add 1 more image source from this section http://screencast.com/t/cPtUBitCXM
So that you can using the above code to define your new image source?

Hello Arlex Wong
as you said:so previously the Easyblog 3.9 image source setting already no exist in Easyblog 5
the question is why this setting has removed. because I loaded my website with Easion? (this solution is permanent or temporary?)
will it be added in the new versions or not?
it seems that some how instead of answering my question, you are trying to skip the issue.
I ask my question again that what is your reason to remove that ability without informing ?

Hey Shahryarjb,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply and I didn't skip any of your question at above

The reason why we removed Easyblog 3.9 image source setting is because we would like to standardize all the images in Easyblog so that it will be uniform during display.

I actually trying to explain more about how to change the blog image source in Easyblog 5 e.g. Easyblog latest blog post module [Module section]

Let's say I submitted a new post and included blog image, you can adjust the image source settings from the module [small, medium or large].
And you can adjust the image width pixel as well.

You can take a look of my attached screenshot below.

Hope this explanation will help.
