Autoresize image (article preview)

[Bram H]

Is there a way to force all preview images on the CMS to be in an exact same size so they will fit in a 100x100 container regardless the size they might have in the full article

You could go:

.cms_article_preview_image {    height: 100px;    width: 100px;}

You could end up with some strange looking preview images that way though.

Yes that looks weird. Isnt there a work around to let the CMS "zoom" in to find a fitting square dimension as you can see on any other portal software out there, except for vbulletin?

You could edit the template and change the <img> tag in the preview part to <div>
And then change the src part to a background. Then it would crop the image and show a 100x100 part of the original image.

But if your image is smaller it will look weird.

In addition you could change the background position around a bit so it doesn't take the upper edge of the image. But again, if your image is to small it still will look weird.

I decided I can live with it. Thanks for the help Lynn
