[SOLVED] Images not scaled proportionally in news template

Hi,

When I select resize for images in the news template and scale, the images are scaled but not proportionally is it a way to change that?

The funny thing is that I chose a small, medium or large thumb, the data entered in the size is not visible/editable but is used for the max-size in the code.

Help please, I am lost.

Joomla 3.4.4 FC 3.0.8

Hello

not proportionally ?
- you mean they are scalled only in width, but the height remains the same ?


- about the disabled (=hidden) parameter that is being used, this is should not happen,

- we have cases in which a parameter is set to values and is locked as readonly (and remains VISBILE) and is used

Not proportionally, here an example:

I introduce width 250 and height 100, I select scale as a method then the image will fit exactly that rectangle even if it is a square image.

If I introduce same height as width, the image wil,have the right proportions and a rectangle will remain rectangle.

In my first example, after choosing resize, I chooses small thumbnail to avoid the problem but it stays because the size I introduced earlier was not visible,but still,active. And the logos where scaled to that sizes without any proportion.

So the behavior of the image field in the module is completely different of the one in the field itself and in the category template.

Have a try

the above is the code used to create the image

we have width: 100%
and
height: auto;

-- the dimensions that are entered in parameter only act as maximum limits
and they are used only in some cases

NOTE: an auto height means that your template or other CSS might effect your image

- you may post a link to a page showing this
but it should not happen because of module's CSS / Styling

I changed the template to the basic beez3 and nothing changes

I sent you a PM with the access codes. Have a look.

Hi GGPPDK,

did you had time to see your PM?

Hello

there is no bug , the images are set to
width: 100%;
height: auto;

but they will not scale past the width limit that you have configured
- just configure large enough thumbnails ! with large enough width

the width that you configure is used as max-width ! to avoid making images looking ugly

Ok I understand but the problem is that some images are in landscape and others in portrait mode so I can't have the vertical image too large and the portrait ones too hight.

In Category blog it is working like that I limit size using the thumbnails and they are not resized but in the module I have to think differently?

I think this is not coherent, the same behavior should be applied to both systems.

Hello

- you only need to set a larger width

just increase thumbnail width and then limit the height to some amount, will enabling cropping

I need resizing not cropping. And in that case the images are scaled not proportionally.
