Hello, I'm trying to change the size of the generic image in k2, but it doesn't work. The standard width was 300px, I set 400 but it still resizes new images at 300. I have no width overrides in my categories. It worked when I changed width of XL and L images, but with the generic it just doesn't want to work...

Hello Michelangelo,

What version of K2 are you using?

Are you using any template overrides?

Hello Krikor, I'm using v 2.6.5 with the overrides of Joomlart MixMaz. You can see the website here
Thanks

At the moment I solved changing the size of the "small" image and setting my homepage modules to use the small instead of generic. But maybe this is a bug, why setting the size of small image works and for the generic one not?

Michelangelo, I think some extension is causing your issue. By default K2 content module does not render the generic sized images just the XS, S, M, L.. sizes.

The generic size is only used in date and search listings. You can check if it's an issue with your template by simply using the ?template=system at the end of your URLs and browsing your site with the system(default) template.

Yes, in fact I don't need to change how's rendered, but how the file is resized. For example this jpg file's been resized at a width of 300px, although I set it to 400 px. Thanks for your help

If the image was uploaded before the size changed in the parameters, the image will remain in 300px and will be resized to 400px with HTML resize (if not altered).
In order for your image to actually take the 400px size you will have to re-upload the image.

Yes, I uploaded that today and K2 "accepted" my settings for the small image at 400px (you can see it here ), but it just doesn't see my settings for the generic one. i hope I'm not taking away too much of your time, as for the moment I solved using the small images, but if this is really a bug it could be useful for you to know.

Are these views the ones that your generic image size doesn't render?

No, it's the module JA Side News which crops the generic image. Those 4 square images in my homepage are generated by Ja Side News, and have a height of 240px. But if the generic image width is just of 300px it often happens that the height is under 240px, so they're not square anymore and they have a black space below them. But now I edited the code of the module, so that it uses the small image instead of generic.

This is a custom built module and not a K2 module which was not developed by us. You have to ask it's developer for support.

You know, I don't need anymore this feature of K2 working (yes, K2, because Ja side news does exactly what it's expected to do), I'm just telling this because maybe you want to keep your software bug-free, that's all. You can also mark this thread as solved.

I got the same issue.

I edit the file of JA Slideshow , and finally got the larger size of image I want.

Hello and kudos on finding the solution,

I think you need to post this at JA's forums as well, since these modules are not related to K2.
