Adjust thumbnail quality

« on: January 22, 2008, 11:47:26 AM »

Is it possible to adjust the quality of the image thumbnails that News Portal produces? I have sized the images I am using so that the dimension ratios don't change, but of course the thumbnail process is introducing some quality reduction. I would like to find where in the code it is creating the thumbnails and up the quality a bit. I am only using 200x200 for my largest (top stories) size and the thumbs that news portal is producing have a fair amount of artifacting on them. I have browsed the code, but can't find where this is happening. Clues would be welcome.

Thanks,
Bryan

Once again I just need to look harder. The create_thumbnails function in news_portal.html.php is where this is at. They use the imagejpeg, imagegif and imagepng functions. Quality can be set there.

Is there a way to make a different setting for the main image and then the smaller ones? Because I'd like the main one to use 100% but the others to use maybe 50%.

Hi,
There is no way to do that in the same zone. But you can do that using two zones. Ex. top stories (100%) and leading stories (50%)

Hi,
Sorry I misunderstood the topic. Roll Eyes

At this point you can´t set different thumbnail settings.
Best regards,

On iJoomla News Portal for J! 1.0 you can find this file under this folder:
components/com_news_portal/
But we don´t have this file on our J! 1.5 version.

No wonder why I couldn't see it. Wink

Is there a way to do this in Joomla 1.5?
