JA Opal Template - images in articles problem

[Slazer654]

Hello. When I add an image to an article it displays incorrectly in the Front Page. It is often incorrectly resized, somehow croped or with a thick black frame around it. You can see it here on my homepage http://hklevice.eu.pn/. When I open some article in a separate window however, it shows correctly http://hklevice.eu.pn/index.php?option= ... icle&id=10.

Border is set to 0.

I also tried to correct it by this changes in CSS but it didnt help.
yellow.css (line 19)

Code: Select all

img {
background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
border:1px solid #DFD5B5;
}

Thank you for help.
template.css (line 96)

Code: Select all

div.article-content img, .img-desc img {
background:#FFFFFF none repeat scroll 0 0;
border:1px solid #DDDDDD;
}

Any suggestions about this issue?

[Slazer654]

P.S if I remove imagejpeg(), imagepng() and imagegif() black borders are not there anymore but image is incorrectly resized into default size for the Front Page images.

It might be a PHP issue in "C:\wamp\www\joomla15\templates\ja_opal\ja_templatetools_1.5.php", might it not?

I realised that when I remover JaResize function from the PHP file above then problem is solved. Can someone explain what is the purpose of this function if JA OPAL works better w/o it? Thank you.

Ive managed to solve all the problems Ive had with the JA Opal. Ive done it by some changes in the source code of the template (PHP and CSS).

Be sure you install the template to a server with a PHP version LESS than 5.3.0! PHP 5.3.0 is NOT supported by Joomla 1.5.14 (and full support in 1.5.15 is also questionable) and results in errors. Use Joomla 1.5.14 with PHP 5.2.x, which is recommended to use with JA Opal.

Does not install the modules and plugins you wont use for this template (built in quickstart has all JA OPAL modules installed). This is also an important security advice.

And finnaly here are the corrected source codes.
To remove black borders (frames) around incorrectly resized images (and the incorrectly reized element issue as well) replace \joomla15\templates\ja_opal\ja_templatetools_1.5.php with the file in attachment. The only change is on lines 439-441.

To arrange a FrontPage to look like JA OPAL´s use the thread http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 0#p1824280

To change the favicon of JA OPAL you need to change \joomla15\templates\ja_opal\favicon.ico with your own favicon. ICO is a special file format, you CANT USE somehow resized JPEG,GIF or PNG.After the change you HAVE TO WAIT some time (I waited one day) while it takes effect. It doesnt changes immidiately, so REFRESHING doesnt help (maybe a bug?).

There is also a problem with undefined variable in module mod_jaslideshow2. Just update the file joomla15\modules\mod_jaslideshow2\mod_jaslideshow2.php with the file in attachment. The change is on lines 85-97.

I also have a problem with the plugin Very Simple Image Gallery, but it is not a part of JA OPAL. Images resized incorrectly. To sort it out just replace joomla15\plugins\content\vsig.php with the one in attachment. Change is on line 195.

Hope this will help you to solve the problems.

On a front page there's one lead artice and the image shows bigger and other 3 shows in small. But this template is not resizing one of those 3 article's image. And not only that, when it happens my left and right modules drops all the way down, and its a disaster.

If i edit the article just once at the back end it shows error says "falsefalsefalse and something or (<!--[if gte mso 10]> )" right below the title on a frontpage, and its funny if i edit the same article twice the same two error messages shows up lined back to back. So i have to clean up the codes in the article and redo everything, then it gets fixed.
And also i've set my editor plugin not to clean up the code when i save the article, would that be the cause of the error? not sure though. I found out it has a problem with image aligns, like to the left or right. If i put image not aligned anywhere it works ok, if i align it to the left it doesn't resize atleast one of those 3 articles showing on the frontpage.

Ok. I guess i've said everything i wanted now i want to hear you masters!!! (It's my 2nd joomla web by the way i'm still new)

I have the same problem...

When i use your files, i get the black frame to disapear, but the image will not resize, and the layout of my homepage does not look good.

Any idea how to get the frame around some of the images to be white instead of black?

My web is: www.totalfotball.no

I would like to resize the images, but i don't want black background/frame behind the club logos..

I don't think it can be changed in template.css - i've changed all of the values there..

Any suggestions?
