self created thumbnails on "Latest Projects" module

**GK User** Thu Jan 19, 2012 5:33 pm

Hello,

I want to change the Thumbnails shown on News Pro Module "Latest Projects". I want to use self created thumbnails not generated ones. E.G. Customer Logo instead of Article Picture. If I overwrite the thumbnails in cach Folder, they will be overwritten again. Is there a way? Thank you

Hi,

Try using my solution:

- Open file: \modules\mod_news_pro_gk4\tmpl\layout.parts.php

- Find code:

Code: Select all: if($config['create_thumbs'] == 1 && $config['k2_thumbs'] == 1 && $item_image_exists == true){ // try to override standard image if(NSP_GK4_Thumbs::createThumbnail($img_src, $config, true, false, $IMG_REL) !== FALSE) { $uri = JURI::getInstance(); $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/'.NSP_GK4_Thumbs::translateName($img_src,$config['module_id'], true); } elseif($config['create_thumbs'] == 1) { jimport('joomla.filesystem.file'); if(is_file(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_news_pro_gk4'.DS.'cache'.DS.'default'.DS.'default'.$config['module_id'].'.png')) { $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/default/default'.$config['module_id'].'.png'; } } else $IMG_SOURCE = ''; } elseif($config['create_thumbs'] == 1 && $IMG_SOURCE != ''){ // try to override standard image if(strpos($IMG_SOURCE,'http://') == FALSE) { if(NSP_GK4_Thumbs::createThumbnail($IMG_SOURCE, $config) !== FALSE) { $uri = JURI::getInstance(); $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/'.NSP_GK4_Thumbs::translateName($IMG_SOURCE,$config['module_id']); } elseif ($item_image_exists == true) { if(NSP_GK4_Thumbs::createThumbnail($img_src, $config, true) !== FALSE) { $uri = JURI::getInstance(); $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/'.NSP_GK4_Thumbs::translateName($img_src,$config['module_id'], true); } else { jimport('joomla.filesystem.file'); if(is_file(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_news_pro_gk4'.DS.'cache'.DS.'default'.DS.'default'.$config['module_id'].'.png')) { $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/default/default'.$config['module_id'].'.png'; } else { $IMG_SOURCE = ''; } } } else { jimport('joomla.filesystem.file'); if(is_file(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_news_pro_gk4'.DS.'cache'.DS.'default'.DS.'default'.$config['module_id'].'.png')) { $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/default/default'.$config['module_id'].'.png'; } else { $IMG_SOURCE = ''; } } } } elseif($config['create_thumbs'] == 1) { jimport('joomla.filesystem.file'); if($item_image_exists == true){ if(NSP_GK4_Thumbs::createThumbnail($img_src, $config, true) !== FALSE) { $uri = JURI::getInstance(); $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/'.NSP_GK4_Thumbs::translateName($img_src,$config['module_id'], true); } else { jimport('joomla.filesystem.file'); if(is_file(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_news_pro_gk4'.DS.'cache'.DS.'default'.DS.'default'.$config['module_id'].'.png')) { $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/default/default'.$config['module_id'].'.png'; } else { $IMG_SOURCE = ''; } } } elseif(is_file(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_news_pro_gk4'.DS.'cache'.DS.'default'.DS.'default'.$config['module_id'].'.png')) { $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/cache/default/default'.$config['module_id'].'.png'; } }

- Change to:

Code: Select all: $IMG_SOURCE = $uri->root().'modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/images/'.$news_alias.'.png';

- Create folder "images" under folder: /modules/mod_news_pro_gk4/

- Create your thumbnail images and save under the images folder with name format: ARTICLE_ALIAS.png (with ARTICLE_ALIAS is alias of your k2 item's alias.)

The code in my version doesn't match this. I tried deleting what was similar and replacing, but it's not working. I'd really like to use custom thumbnails. Can you help?
