Hello everyone,

I'm using K2 with a Templaza template and am creating a personal blog and doing fine, but....

I've created 3 categories and one homepage, off course. In every itemt I want an image to be shown, but I don't want each post to have the same size image (XS, S, M, L or XL).

So, I thought, instead of using the image K2 image uploader, I put a smaller size image directly into the content of my item. But it only shows up when I look at the item directly. When I look at the category no image is shown.... The other items in that category do show an image, but for those items I've used the image uploader...

Does anyone know how I can achieve the use of different image sizes within one category? So when I look at this item individually it looks fine, but when this item is shown when I click on the category, no image is shown....

Thanks for reading and your help!!!! :)
Regards, Simone

You could create an extra field and put the size you wnat for that that particular item in it and use it as a test.
Then create an override.
It the code that displays item image, use the value of the extra field to change the size of the image that is displayed in the item view with if or switch statement

Tnx William for your answer but isn't there an easier way to accomplish this? To be honest I don't understand what you mean... :blink:
So anyone any idea???
Thnx, regards, Simone

Hi Simone,
I think you can do it the way you mentioned, you just have to click the readmore button after you have added the image & the text you want to show in cat view. You may have to check in K2 parameters that the img tag is not being stripped. in cat view.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply, and I did what you said, but still there's no image in my category view, only in the item view. What can I still be doing wrong or overlooking?
Hope it can be solved, thanks again for your trouble!!
Regards, Simone

In the Item edit / Item view options in category listings / Set Image to Hide / I think you can still display big K2 image in in item view, just hide introtext.

Sorry, still isn't working... Pffff, anyone else??
Grtz, Simone

Hi Simone,

I am sorry your having trouble but I guarantee that method works you can see it Here

All setting are done in the Item Edit Page, just make sure k2 setting are set to not strip tags from categories

Ok, well, then maybe I just don't understand? :blush: I did everything you said and still it isn't working?
Your last sentence I really don't understand? :oops:

Can you maybe explain to me step by step, because I really believe that I'm overlooking something...


Hope you can help me :unsure: , thanks again.
Regards, Simone

No problems, maybe i didn,t explain to good.

First in K2 parameters, click on the Content Tab then scroll down to Content Cleanup - make sure Introtext HTML cleanup (tag strip) is set to - No.

And make sure Fulltext HTML cleanup (tag strip - set to No

Then go to Edit Item and add the image you want to use at the top before the text, I used the image button at the bottom of editor.

Click at the end of the part of you text you want to display in Cat view. then click enter so you start a new line, the click on the readmore button on bottom of editor.

Your code should then look something like this.
