Optimal Images Dimensions - Conflict for Cards & Related Pages

john

If I use as the first image a file with dimensions 822 x 432, it looks great in the cards at the bottom a Blog page:

009

However, in the Related Pages list, it doesn't look good:

007

Is there any way to select an alternative image to appear in the Related Pages list than in the Page List on Blog pages, please?

john Hi, I see. Unfortunately there is no way at the moment. I think it is quite difficult to achieve that without making it more complicated to use. I will take look at it. In the meantime you can fix it with changing the pagelist template in order to use a separate variable for related pages.

john Which setting did you use to add the image teaser (zoom onhover) on each of your blocks, on your main page? https://www.yorkshire-humber.peoplesparliament.uk

mad Thank you very much. Is this something I need to do through FTP, by modifying something?

Is it here, please?: /domain.com/public_html/automad/blocks/pagelist.php

mad I probably don't really know what I'm talking about, but...

There is a field for Og image. I was wondering how difficult it might be to have a variable for Related pages image and maybe a tool tip with recommended dimensions, and for the related pages cards to look at this variable, and if it is blank, then default to the first image on the page.

That way, it wouldn't be any different for people to use, except for those who specifically wanted to specify a related page image.

But maybe what I am asking is much more complicated than I realise!

Mena Oh, and of course, you have to select "Blog" template in Page Settings.

To speed up the site I optimise all the images and then upload them to a folder in the root folder. I call this "images". In the image card field (new to version 1.7) I therefore just write "/images/image-name.jpg".

However, even if you have this field empty, I note that the card will be the first image that appears on the page.

john Hi, it is not very difficult to add such a variable. I just don't want to introduce any breaking changes. In case you want to edit the template yourself, you will first have to duplicate the standard packages to avoid trouble when performing updates.

You can find the template in /packages/standard/templates/blocks/pagelist.

Thanks very much. I will experiment!
