Hello,
Well, I have team of authors for the newspaper I have made who can’t understand the concept of responsive images and why an image may be cutted down when it tries to fit in a smaller container.
So, I decided to choose a thumbnail size and have all thumbnails generated to this aspect ratio.
The thumbnail size I will use is 324 x 235.
Now, I have to go to all blocks I use and change the size of their thumbnails.
In particular:
Block 18 – the thumbnail is size of 696 x 385 and I want to make it 696 x 504
Block 3 – the thumbnails are size of 324 x 160 and I want to make it 324 x 235
Block 15 – the thumbnails are size of 218 x 150 and I want to make it 218 x 158
Module 19 – the thumbnails are size of 534 x 350 and I want to make it 534 x 387 (without to be zoomed in)
So, my first question is if this possible to via the theme panel.
If not, can you, please, provide me with some instructions on how to change the thumbnail size of 1-2 blocks so I can make the others by myself?
Please, keep in mind that, if I need to make changes for the responsive sizes, I need to know it so, please, include the necessary instructions for this scenario too.
I know that I have to “play” with that piece of code but I am not sure how:
I hope I have your feedback soon.
Thank you in advance.
Hi,
Changing the thumbnail size of the block modules would not be easy. Modules are designed to display the predefined thumbnails that assigned to them, and all the styling is based on that. Modifying the thumbnail will probably cause layout problems within the block.
If you decided on that thumbnail size, best you use blocks that use it

Hi Simion,
First of all, thank you for your immediate reply.
Unfortunately, although your solution seems to be the best, my client wasn’t happy. Actually, he didn’t wanted to change the layout.
So, I made some changes to td_main.php and I got the results he wanted.
Yes, I have some problems with the responsive layout but I will fix them.
Tomorrow, you may see the results here.
If you want me to post the changes I made, please let me know.
Thank you again for your support.
