Hello,
we're building a new website with GK Writer template.
On the pages, where we want to show articles in category blog view, the catergory image is showing far to big, isn't cropped as normally in articles.
This is how the category blog shows up:

How can we fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hi Nicolas,

I think it looks quite the same as our demo site now:

Did you get it solved?

Hello Saguaros,
the problem is with the picture in the category.
The category text will get displayed on top of the articles underneath, but the picture won't crop as in the articles.
Other issue is with the text in the category description, here <br> and fonts won't work.

I attacht the screenshot from "matrix"

Hi Nicolas,

I got your point, must resize screen to replicate issue.

You can use this custom CSS to fix:

.category.blog.itemListView .itemsCategory img {width: 100%;}

Thanks Saguaros,
quick and helpfull as always!!!
This problem is solved.
But do you know why the category description won't show any line breaks, bold fonts etc?
Just a big block of text..

Thanks in advance
Nicolas

The category description is quite the same as our demo site: https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/writer/index.php/blog/category-page

Could you share screenshot of how it should be?

Hello,
here is a screenshot of the editor, category description.
You see, there are line breaks and some bold text, both will be ignored by the frontpage.

Thanks in advance

We updated this file:

templates\gk_writer\html\com_content\category\blog.php
replace this line
<?php echo striptags(JHtml::('content.prepare', $this->category->description, '', 'com_content.category')); ?>
by
<?php echo JHtml::_('content.prepare', $this->category->description, '', 'com_content.category'); ?>

Kindly check.
