REsized images on home page

When I insert an image onto my home page article I find that it’s resized out of proportion. I was geting an error message and followed the forum advice to add a resize directory to the images folder and CHMOD to 777. This got rid of the error message, but now my image is out of proprtion -- see http://www.r-r-urquhart.co.uk

I don’t think so. It’s a large image 655 pixels wide. I don’t understand why it’s getting resized as I’m just trying to insert it into an article. I’ve done this a thousand times before without any issue. It must have something to do with the template??

655 pixels wide -- ok. How tall is it?

Aha -- good discovery. I’ve got nothing to help. You need a developer for this. I suggest that you re-post your last post here as a new question, and select the option for assistance from tech support.

the reason your frontpage images being resized by the following script:
…/templates/ja_ruby/html/com_content/frontpage/default.php

Code:

	<?php $i = $this->pagination->limitstart;
	$rowcount = $this->params->def('num_leading_articles', 1);
	for ($y = 0; $y < $rowcount && $i < $this->total; $y++, $i++) : ?>
		<div class="leading<?php echo $this->params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>">
			<?php $this->item =& $this->getItem($i, $this->params);
      //Leading image size			
      $this->imageWidth = 350;
      $this->imageHeight = 471;
			echo $this->loadTemplate('item'); ?>
		</div>
	<?php endfor; ?>

I have the same problem on my site. I believe the solution is in the Members Only (JA_OPAL and JA_RUBY) boards which I do not have access to πŸ™

So from my understanding…

Is it NOT possible for the Front Page of these templates to have a blog roll format?

As of now.. multiple articles are appearing as:

[ —-- Article —-- ]
[ Article] [Article]
[ Article] [Article]
[ Article] [Article]

I want them to appear as:

[ —-- Article —-- ]
[ —-- Article —-- ]
[ —-- Article —-- ]
[ —-- Article —-- ]

However, modifying the image resizing doesn’t do justice.
Why? Each article has different sized images and alignment.

IE: One article aligns the image to the left, while another may to the right.
However, due to the template’s auto image resizing and alignment -- this cannot be accomplished.

Thoughts?
