I would like to ask Joomlart.com to stop including auto-resize image feature on Front Page in any of the new templates from now on. This feature causes a lot of problems for users. Not everyone can hack the codes to fix it like this.

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/stopping-image-resize/

<blockquote>The way I turned off resizing is to edit the php script ja_templatetools.php line #415.

Insert “return;” as the first line of this function…..like so…

function extractImage( &$row, $autoresize, $width = 0, $height = 0) {
return;
………..

Maybe a better way but I wanted to stop any resizing or downsampling of the images.</blockquote>

Maybe rather than stop doing it they should provide a simple suffix in the frontpage menu item.;)

I like that system once you learn how to customize it to your needs.

I have spent all morning trying to troubleshoot the poor image quality on the front page of one of our new sites using JA_Sulfur. I eventually tracked it down to this stupid template problem as JA resize the images to 140×105 & then enlarge them to whatever size is supposed to fit on the page. Consequently the image quality is crap.

The solution is to rename or delete templates/ja_sulfur/html/com_content to disable this function.

I don’t like wasting hours of my time tracking bugs that are not ones I created. Please fix this problem.

Maybe that is why I was having some problem before with one site, the pictures just did not seem to be sharp no matter why I did. Every time I put them through JA they came out looking BLUURRRY.

I think it is a good feature and should be kept. Overrides are one of the good things about Joomla 1.5.

What is needed are better instructions on how to make the best use of it and how to disable it if not needed.
