Picture cropping for blogs, Brooklyn theme

Hi!

I have created a customised blog landing page for the Brooklyn theme (Classic style) to resemble as much as possible the blog page from the Narrative theme (Warm style).

The problem is I can’t find the way to ensure pictures are all the same size and therefore the blogs are not aligned.

See attached file, the third blog has a smaller figure. What I’d like to do is ensuring figures are the same size (a square box).

The site URL is here: https://the-upcycling-market.myshopify.com/blogs/alternative-story

The customised blog is based on the template file: blog.alternate.liquid

Can you please help?

Thanks

Antonio

Hi @AntoP ,

This is can be resolved. I did have a look at the shared image to get what you’re trying to say.

What we can do is need to upload pictures of the same size or resize the image which isn’t similar to other images’ sizes. Else set a specific size that is needed to upload the blog picture.

Can I have the store access, I can ask my teammate to get back to you with the solution.

Thanks,

Jeet

Hi @JeetInamdar ,

how can I give you store access?

Hi @AntoP ,

You can provide us the access on hello@ riyanktechnologies.com or we send you the collaborator access request.

Ok, I just invited you

Hi @JeetInamdar

Thanks

Hello,

We checked but haven’t got access to your store. We have sent you the collaborator access request.

Apologies for the late response as we were off on weekends so couldn’t revert back.

Thanks.

We got the invitation from you. Check the email as the staff account email got buried in the inbox, we are onto it and checking further.

Hello @AntoP ,

We did review the theme and the custom changes you did. There’s a solution that we can implement so if you upload any image further it won’t create a problem for you.

Furthermore, I’d like to say that there are many other issues in your store let me put up the light on that:

We are very much eager to help you improvise your store as per your ideas and willingness. Let me know your thoughts on this, if you are good to proceed with the blog page or even the other changes as well we’ll assist you accordingly.

Thanks,

Jeet

Hello @JeetInamdar

thanks a lot for your observations:

  • I’ve corrected the About Us page (used the wrong template), thanks for letting me know
  • I know the Our Story footer calls the wrong page, will be corrected
  • The seller profile page is actually populated via a js script from a third-party app we use to have multi-vendor marketplace features, I’m not sure it can be modified
  • For the picture cropping issues in the collection pages, yes it’s true. It’s same problem.

So yes, if you have a solution for the picture cropping in the blog and collection page, your help would be much appreciated.

Hello @AntoP ,

Welcome! We just wanted to put some light on various issues that needed to be resolved for your store’s preview.

  • The seller profile page is actually populated via a js script from a third-party app we use to have multi-vendor marketplace features, I’m not sure it can be modified

Reply: Right, the third-party apps don’t allow to make any changes or customizations. We need to take further permission from apps and need to see if it goes with the app or not. Let me know if you want to, we’ll try to find out if it’s possible or not.

  • For the picture cropping issues in the collection pages, yes it’s true. It’s the same problem.

So yes, if you have a solution for the picture cropping in the blog and collection page, your help would be much appreciated.

Reply: Sure, we’ll be glad to help you with the blog page. We can go with either of the 2 approaches. One is to set the field with the size that asks you to add the image with the needed size parameter or another is once you add the image it sets the images accordingly itself as the first 2 images on the blog page(we prefer this approach).

Furthermore, we’ll also help you with the collection page setup and resolving the design. Also, I’d like put a light on another thing that don’t use any copyright images as it might land you in a problem in the future.

Let me know how you’d like to proceed

Thanks,

Jeet

Hi Jeet,

I agree with your second suggestion: once you add the image it sets the images accordingly itself as the first 2 images on the blog page(we prefer this approach).

In fact it would be really good if all images get resized automatically to a fixed size that applies to all so that they appear all the same with each other (that’s what I was attempting to do but couldn’t find the way). Is that possible?

Thanks for the comment on copyright images, yes we are fully aware of that. We won’t do that once the marketplace is live, for now it’s just test images.

I am trying the same procedure but failing every time I want to crop the image of myblog in a same way but there are so many errors appearing inside.
