Hm yeah you are right. We probably missed this! Since most of the time cards aren't using a large width, it should just use the thumbnail version of the cover instead.

Ah okay my bad! The thumbnails are just too small to fit into the card. Because thumbnails are square, this is why we don't use the thumbnails

Depending on the template used, the size of the cards varies. And you're right, with the template Echo, it's sometimes a bit just according to the original images. But for your demo, it would be invisible.

Personally to adapt to the Echo template (especially because of the very large and wide cover), I changed the values in :
administrator/components/com_easysocial/constants.php
And put this :

define('SOCIAL_PHOTOS_THUMB_WIDTH', 712);

define('SOCIAL_PHOTOS_THUMB_HEIGHT', 712);



define('SOCIAL_PHOTOS_LARGE_WIDTH', 2048);

define('SOCIAL_PHOTOS_LARGE_HEIGHT', 2048);

In order to optimize the display on the Retina supports, I also doubled all other values. Because otherwise somes images appear blurry on an iPhone or iPad. Test, you'll see http://easysocial.stackideas.com/albums/88-top-10-free-things-to-do-in-amsterdam

To return to the subject, please can you tell me which file I have to modify to display _thumbnail.jpg images in Groups and Pages listings ?

Thank you Mark.

You can modify on this file -> JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/tables/cover.php

// line 287

$uri = $photo->getSource('large');



// Replace with

$uri = $photo->getSource('thumbnail');

So on these cluster listing page (Group/Page/Event) will show thumbnail image.

Thank you Arlex. It works for Listing but also in Group and Pages Covers

I would like to display _thumbnail only in the listing.
And the _large.jpg in the Covers.

Thanks

It seems like that cluster single page also call the same method, perhaps you can try replace my following code and see how it goes.

	public function getSource($size = SOCIAL_AVATAR_MEDIUM, $absolute = true)

	{

		// Get config

		$config = ES::config();



		// Set the default cover

		$default = SOCIAL_JOOMLA_URI . $config->get('covers.default.' . $this->type . '.' . SOCIAL_COVER_DEFAULT);





		// If there is a cover override in the template, use it instead.

		$app = JFactory::getApplication();

		$overridePath = JPATH_ROOT . '/templates/' . $app->getTemplate() . '/html/com_easysocial/covers/' . $this->type . '/default.jpg';



		if (JFile::exists($overridePath)) {

			$default = rtrim(JURI::root(), '/') . '/templates/' . $app->getTemplate() . '/html/com_easysocial/covers/' . $this->type . '/default.jpg';

		}



		// Test if the cover is a photo

		if ($this->photo_id) {



			$photo = $this->getPhoto();



			if (!$photo->id) {

				$uri = $default;

			} else {

				$uri = $photo->getSource('large');



				$customView = $app->input->get('view');

				$customLayout = $app->input->get('layout');



				$viewAllowed = array('groups', 'events', 'pages');		



				// Cluster listing page

				if (in_array($customView, $viewAllowed) && $customLayout != 'item') {

					$uri = $photo->getSource('thumbnail');

				}

			}



			// The file might not exist, so we need to revert to the default

			if($uri === false) {

				$uri = $default;

			}

		} else {

			$uri = $default;

		}



	    return $uri;

	}

It works perfectly now !!

By displaying _thumbnail.jpg rather than _large.jpg in Listings Pages and Groups, with tools.pingdom.com, I could see that the size of the page changes from :
6.8 MB to 3.1 MB

It's worth it !
Thanks very much Arlex !!
