OK, I've looked through the forum and questions to find this answer but I am still confused.

I want the set the image size in the showcase module. Do I do that in a setting, or have you got this hard coded somewhere. I've just spent the last 2 hours with this.

At the moment it appears to be 290 x 156. I'd like the ability to set those figures to my choosing.
Hello Damian,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. By modifying the blog image size, this causes the image physical size to be 650 pixels. If you want to enforce the module to use 650px, you need to add the block of css codes below into your template's css file,

Hello Damian,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is actually a public day off for us here. It actually depends if the blog posts on your site uses the "blog image". If these blog posts are using blog images, you could configure the image size for showcase through the theme settings.

To do this, follow the instructions below:

1. Access the themes section at the back end of EasyBlog
2. Click on the theme that you are using.
3. Click on the Blog images tab
4. For the "featured" image size, set the desired width / height.
5. Hit the save Save button
6. Hit the Purge Images button.

When you refresh the page now, these images would automatically be re-created based on the size that you have set.

Hi Mark. This is where i found to make the image size adjustments already, But it doesn't change. I click the clean images and still it doesn't change. It's also misleading to have the showcase images refer to 'featured'. Should i be 'featuring' the articles that I want in the showcase? Because at the moment I have just a category selected.

Hello Damian,

I've tried to change your 'featured' size to 65x35 and the image in showcase module do change: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-02-22_1154.png and now I've changed it back to 650x350. http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-02-22_1155.png

OK, so my original question is a very valid one. We need to 'code' this in order to get it to work. I really don't understand why it doesn't work by changing those values in the theme settings. Is there a maximum size that is hard coded into the theme?

HI Damian,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I believe there is misunderstanding here. The settings in EasyBlog does work, however, EasyBlog have set the maximum width of the image to 290px. So, in order to display image larger then 290px, you need to put a css override code. You can try put the css override code provided by my colleague in the previous reply and after that you can configure the size at the theme setting for the image at the backend.

Hope I have explained this well.

Oh OK. Good, so by putting the new css in, I override the maximum, BUT still control it using the theme field. Excellent. I'll give it a go.

Yes, that is correct Damian. Setting the width / height in the theme settings only alters the physical image size and you still can / need to control it using css
