Post subject: Thumbnail creation for remote images
|
|
|
| I'm sure you are aware that right now if an article contains a remote image the thumbnail isn't generated and the article title is displayed instead. I would greatly appreciate full functionality. If it is not possible to create thumbnails from remote images perhaps you can allow for them by just showing a resized original image. And if that can't happen maybe the ability to turn automatic thumbnail generation off. Thanks. |

Yes, it's not possible at this point. Even reverting back to showing resized images turned out to be more than a simple challange. We will let you guys know if we find a solution for this. _________________ Merav

I was able to get remote images to show up correctly by removing some code. I thought about using mod_rewrite to change the code but I elected to go with the below instead.
At the bottom of news_portal.html.php you will see the below function.
| Code: | function get_link_first_image_link($row) {
global $mosConfig_absolute_path, $mosConfig_live_site;
if ($row!='') {
$link=$row; |
Notice that my only contains the row value.
That's how I got the remote images to work,
NOTE:
I am not using local images and I'm using feedgator to feed the rss. This is not a hack it's just a small code change. Use at your own risk and I'm sure you will make a back up of the file prior to any changes.
This change is not endorsed by anybody at iJoomla. I hope this works for you until iJoomla comes up with something it has for me.
- Cheers |
