Hello,

I noticed that with the Echo template, the thumbnail appear blurry in an album.
http://echo.stackideas.com/community/photos/54-wallpaper-5

And I understand that it is because there is an inconsistency between the format of the generated thumbnail (by GD Library) and the size of the area that displays these thumbnails in the Echo model.

Instead of 256 pixels, the value of a thumbnail should be 356 pixels, is not it ?

Thank you
Philippe

(I'm sorry, I must seem picky)
Actually that is very difficult to cater this is because we can't control what image resolution user upload in EasySocial.

Imagine if the user upload this image resolution 1920x1080px, after it compressed, it will become following image resolution :
Thumbnail - 4xx - 2xx px
Large - 8xx - 4xx px

Another example image resolution 4xx x1000px, after it compressed, it will become following image resolution :
Thumbnail - 2xx - 5xx px
Large - 2xx - 6xx px

Even if we make it show 256 pixels from the Echo thumbnails container area, it also can't cater for all other image resolution, it will still appear image blurry.

I'm sorry to contradict you Arlex, but that's not what happens in practice.

No matter resolution of the original image, the resolution of the thumbnail is always 256 pixels (in height or width, depending on the original images).

Since the thumbnails are not always the same size according to the Joomla template, this confirms the need to have possibilities of media settings in the EasySocial backend.
To adjust resolution values of _large.jpg and _thumbnail.jpg images, according to the Joomla template used.
In this case, Echo template needs large images, for Covers and Thumbnails.

I stop bothering you, I'll let you work.
Good weekend Arlex !
