Hi there,
I recently purchased the community edition of EasyBlog and am having some problems regarding image sizes and media insertion when creating/editing a blog entry.
The site installation has the following components:
Joomla 2.5.8
Template: Yootheme Nano2 1.0.1 with Widgetkit v1.3.2
Editor: JCE v 2.3.0
Easyblog: 3.7.13830
1.
Uploading and selecting a blog image via the Easyblog media manager is successful.
Uploading/selecting an image via the insert media or embed video buttons appears successful (in the case of an image it is reported as "item inserted") however in both cases nothing is inserted into the post.
I only discovered the above whilst trying different things to get the following to work:
2.
Uploading an image with dimensions of 860x307 via the Easyblog media manager when creating (or editing a post) creates 5 versions of the file for various purposes.
The original named version (test4.jpg) retains the original dimensions however the one being used in the post is named 2e1ax_default_entry_test4.jpg
which has dimensions of 600x214 (which is also actually 146KB compared to the original upload size of 108KB)
I require the original image dimensions to be used for the post and would rather the media manager didn't make my files larger in the process.
The following are the related settings (I believe):
Settings > Media > General > Resize Original Image = No (max width/height = 1280x960)
Settings > Media > Media Manager > Enforce image dimension by default = No (enforce width/height = 860x307)
I have tried enabling then disabling these options and then deleting and re-uploading two different images of 860x307 and larger with the same result.
As there seemed to be an issue with the general functionality of the media manager I reinstalled Easyblog (successfully) however there is no change in the behaviour.
3.
Whilst investigating this I noticed that for two uploads there appears to have been 1 version created for each of the 7 installed easyblog themes:
0007.jpg
2e1ax_plain_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_bluedream_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_bubbles_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_carbon_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_default_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_nomad_entry_0007.jpg
2e1ax_origami_entry_0007.jpg
Is this normal behaviour?
4. Finally, when editing a post there are two options "Apply" and "Update Post" can you tell me what the functional difference is between the two?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
