Pixel settings for images K2 content module was created by Santana Moll
Hi there,

Where does the K2 module get it's pixels settings for the images it shows. It gets a bit confusing because you could set pixel vallue's in the category settings aswell in the K2 parameters. But strangely setting them in all cases to the same pixel vallue doesn't change the images.

I have a width of set of 350px for medium images in the parameters en category settings but still get for a medium image set in the K2 content module a image width of 400px?

Can someone tell where the K2 Content module get its pixel vallue's from?

Thanks in advance!
Best regards Santana

The content module gets its values from K2's general settings.

Hi Krikor,

I forgot to tell that I amde the images in the content module, background images so I can centre them. Maybe that is why I got this problem. Because as you can see in the pictures I've got all the right settings and the module is allso showing the medium picture only with a size of 400px wide.

The thing is my site scales all the way so I would need a picture somewhere in between so that it allways shows a squared cation of the picture. If I use a large picture like 400px it is to much zoomed on smaller screens and using a smaller picture it won't be squared by overflow hidden.

Here are some pictures, maybe you have a solution to make K2 content module images scalable too.

Hi Santana,

Consider using an extra field to present that image. That way you can crop it exctly how you like (to best present the image)

Here's a post I previously wrote on using Extra Fields to display images:

I hope this helps,
