Hi Stackideas Support Team,

This is not really a support ticket, it's more a question for best practise hints in order to improve the pagespeed score and the loading time of the website.

Blog Frontpage

Pagespeed is critisizing the size of the cover pictures. They are large and resized from 1200*800 to about 600x400. There is also a sidebar on the frontpage

Blog Post

There is no sidebar on the blog post. So the large cover picture is ok.


Question:

Is there a possibility to use a large picture on the blog post and a smaller picture on the frontpage for the same post cover picture. Is it possible to avoid the reisze of the cover picture, which is ok for the the bog post, but is to big for the frontpage ?
Hello Alexandra,

If you are using the post cover functionality in the composer then this is definitely possible because we can control the way the image files are selected as you can see here, http://take.ms/Q20Fn .

I noticed that all of your post uses the post cover (which is awesome) and I have configured this for you so that the post covers would use the medium sized image source instead

One more thing....

There is no option for adjusting the sizes of the pictures ?
For example Large Size 1000x800 instead of 1280x1280.

Which means you can adjust the size exactly to your website layout....

Hello Alexandra,

Unfortunately that isn't possible currently as we have fixed it to these sizes right now

Hello Alexandra,

You could try modifying it in /administrator/components/com_easyblog/defaults/configuration.ini . However, I believe these settings are already stored in the #__easyblog_configs table. You would need to edit that column and modify the value.



main_image_large_width=1280

main_image_large_height=1280

main_image_large_quality=90

main_image_large_resize=within

main_image_medium_width=640

main_image_medium_height=640

main_image_medium_quality=90

main_image_medium_resize=within

main_image_thumbnail_width=480

main_image_thumbnail_height=480

main_image_thumbnail_quality=90

main_image_thumbnail_resize=within

main_image_small_width=320

main_image_small_height=320

main_image_small_quality=90

main_image_small_resize=within

main_image_icon_width=128

main_image_icon_height=128

main_image_icon_quality=70

main_image_icon_resize=within
