A small thumbnail is created for each employer logo. Where can we change the size for that thumbnail when it is created? The thumbnail is too small for my purposes.

Thanks!

Dear Brentwilliams2,

Open file modules/mod_jafeatured_employer/tmpl/default.php and you could customize this layout

Example with thumbnail size display, you could find line

<img alt="<?php echo $items[$i]->company2; ?>" width="<?php echo $imgInfo[0]; ?>" height="<?php echo $imgInfo[1]; ?>" src="<?php echo $baseurl; if ($file != "") { echo $file; } ?>" name="a<?php echo $items[$i]->id; ?>" border="1" id="a<?php echo $items[$i]->id; ?>" />
and change to

<img alt="<?php echo $items[$i]->company2; ?>" width="<?php echo $item_width; ?>" height="<?php echo $item_height; ?>" src="<?php echo $baseurl; if ($file != "") { echo $file; } ?>" name="a<?php echo $items[$i]->id; ?>" border="1" id="a<?php echo $items[$i]->id; ?>" />
Item width and height value is set from module setting parameter in backend.

Regards

I appreciate that, but it still uses the same thumbnail, which is too small. The thumbnail appears to be resized to a height of 20px, so even if I increase the size of the image, it is changing the size of a very small image and looks bad. What I’d like to do is either:

1) Change the maximum height of thumbnails when they are created
or
2) Use the full size image and then resize using the settings you mentioned above.

Dear,

Please check the logo size of employer and make sure that its larger than item width value which was set in module backend.

Also look at my post above again, i just edited it because it has a revert code tag.

Ok, thanks Hero. I think I understand the basic operation of how those images are created. One last question. What defines the dimentions of the original employer image in the main component? For example, in the screenshot below, where is the size of this image defined?

Dear,

Because all file upload implemented in a function, so the logo images do not resize when being uploaded. In the Employer module, the logo is resized depend on value which set up in this module. With the component as your screenshot, logo size does not change, so you must use css rule to change in the way you want it displays.

I think we will have some improvement for this in the next version.

Thanks Hero.

For anybody else reading this and needs help, this is what I did. In the admin area for Forms Customization, I changed logo field to set the width. I set that to 200px, but you could choose any amount. This will be the size shown on employer profile.

Then, I opened up views/jajobs/tmpl/themes/inline/jalist-item.php. Around line 178 you will see the img tag. Within that, I manually changed the width to the width I wanted for the logo. Then, I removed the height, and replaced with:

style="max-height:120px;"

This is not elegant, but it will allow you to show a smaller version on the main jobs list page.
