Basicly, i have a category, and in each category there is items, and when you go into an item there is a image, I want a thumbnail about that image to show in category view.I know about that image options in backend but when I change the size of there, the image inside the item gets resized aswell.Anyway to get this fixed?

There is a different size setup for the category's thumbnail. It is under the image sizes in the general K2 parameters.

Sorry I dont understand... Can you explain a bit better please?

Ill explain my system:


MAIN CATEGORY!

Secondary Category Secondary Category Secondary Category
Items Items Items
Items Items Items
Items Items Items



Each Item has one picture and I want a thumbnail to show in the secondary category view...

If you go to the K2 general parameters (k2 dashboard top right) under the image size you can set (XS, S, M, L, XL) there is a field called category thumbnail width. If you set the size you want for it here you will be able to use the category thumbnail without any problem to your other images. To enable the category thumbnail you should go to the parent category and click the appropriate parameter in Category view options -> Sub-category handling.

Thank you for your reply.
I did exactly as you wrote but still the image doesnt resize, I get the image on category view its just the same size as it is in the item, what ever I do i cant resize it :(

Did you try to upload again the category image?
Is it possible to provide a link to the page you try to create?

Its not a category image, its the item image i want as thumbnail, ill give you direct link to the K2.

As you can see the main category is called Strategies, and under it are more categories.
(There is only one item currently as i want to figure this one out first)

The item is under Eye of Eternity, there is an item there called Malygos as you can see.
Now if you go into that item there is aa picture, what Im trying to figure out is to get a thumbnail to show in when your in Eye of Eternity...

So, you are trying to make the thumbnail of the Malygos item to show when you go to the page of the Eye of Eternity (to this list), correct?

Exactly! And I cant figure that out :P

Here is an example from rocket theme demo:
demo.rockettheme.com/aug10/3rd-party/k2/itemlist/category/6-how-about-that

Its in the bottom where you can see: Man with 3 ears, A purple Fruit and New Dog Breeds.
There, they have a thumbnail of the item images. Thats how im trying to make it :P

You need to set the parameters of the Eye of Eternity category the correct way. Open the category on the backend and set the leading, primary, secondary items to show with what image size and how many. Do you have these set correctly?

Im guessing your talking about under Layout grid, and yea I even tried setting everything to "Small" but it still doesnt change the size at all..

I think I got it now, I had to change that in the main category instead, seems to work, I will play with it a bit more, THANK YOU for your help!!!!
