minifrontpage thumbnail picture quality

  • Posted by TemplatePlazza (5261) Offline

Hello, no they are not, it still very blurry

Have you tried to clear your browser caches? becuase as my previous screenshot, the thumbnail is good from here.

i'am getting a blank page now after chagng the image of an article and deleting the thumbnail files.

Hmm what size you use for width and height? It's probably you're setting the width and height to high and so it takes too much resource to generate a lot of thumbnail at once.

There, and when i change the image in an article, it does not get updated in the module.

If you update the image then you need to delete the thumbnail images in the folder : images/thumbnails/mod_minifrontpage /pro. This is designed like to make the module doesn't take server resource too much (not generating thumbnail every page load)

I've reduced the width and height to 300X200 and it has fixed the blank page problem.

Hello, it was looking better on the minifrontpage module for joomla articles, but i've decided to go with the module for k2 with the same parameters but the images are still all blurry.

Hi, talla,
I have entered to your administrator and looks like the problem is because the generated thumbnail size is bigger than the original image. It's zoomed up.

Please have a look on this article :
www.pmu.ml/2/component/k2/item/5-eid-mubarak

This is the image for this article :
www.pmu.ml/2/media/k2/items/cache/ffee24...pg?t=20200808_025038
The dimension for this image is : 900x499 px

And this is the generated thumbnail for that :
pmu.ml/2/images/thumbnails/mod_minifrontpageprok2/5_137.jpg
The dimension for the thumbnail is : 900x600

See, the height of the generated thumbnail is bigger than the original images, that's why the image is blurry because the module trying to generate thumbnail that is bigger than the original size. It zoom up the original image first and then crop it.

Maybe you're confused because you have set the thumbnail size to 300x200. The answer is it because technically the module will generated 3 times bigger thumbnail because you have retina setting = 3x that will multiply the size into three times = 900x600

And because you use the full width collage themes (the image will automatically fit the browser width) you will notice the blur.

My suggestion for you case is, please try to always use a HD quality image everytime you post an article with bigger or at least have standard HD dimension (1024x768px) so the module won't trying to generate a bigger dimension / zoom up.

Other suggestion is, maybe you can try to lower the thumbnail size into 250X160 so the module will generate a 750x480 thumbnail image (smaller then the original one), and let see the result.
