Hi Guys,

I have a bit of a problem here. I know it is probably a News Show Pro issue; however, I have never experienced this in other templates.

Issue number one: I would like to set a default picture for articles with no image. Certainly, I was unable to do that. I have placed the default.[module_id].png into my cache/default folder with no effect. Of corse, I have used the NSP suffix for my module as well.

Issue number two: There is a problem with the thumbnail generation. Whatever set-up I took, it has never kept the aspect ratio and other stuff.

Please help me ASAP. I have a deadline here. :(

Hi

Second: If You are playing around settings You need to delete created images from cache folder of NSP. Otherwise it will be using an already created one and will not react on the new settings if this image is present already.

First. Try change the name of the default file to be without dot. Also I'm not sure if this image doesn't need to be a .jpg only. Try that also.

Hello,

The first thing works like charm thank you. Although, the second thing doesn't. It doesn't generate thumbnails. If you go on the site you'll see it shows all that stuff as original size.

Cheers,

Already checked. Looks like this guy had similar problem before: https://www.gavick.com/forums/postnote/news-show-pro-g4-mod-thumbnail-not-created-or-shown-15464.html

My images are all in the intro text tho, so I don't understand why it doesn't seem to create thumbs.

The problem is, it does the same with K2 images as well. So, basically I could have a way different glitch here. :S

Hi

I know what's going on. Your images inside articles are loaded as source with
Code: Select all
http://
which means that this images are being recognized by module as from outside server. Such images cannot be processed. The newest NSP GK5 will be able to do this.

That's okay. I'll see what may be achieved by a little brainstorm then. For the 'Hir24' module it works perfectly, because of the correct image source (aspect ratio of the source image). Actually, the module gets the articles via RSS. Maybe, I can tell the RSS parser to save the image and use links according to that.

Hi

If only rss can store images than NSP will be able to procesie it. So this way it will be working.
