Hi All
In Blog view, where the layout is one main article, 4 sub articles in two columns, I have the following conundrum;
Articles are written with an intro and a 'read more' section. For visual interest on the Blog layout, I would like to add images to the intro section. However, an image that works in the context of a full-width main article then occupies too much space in the 4 'half size' sub articles.
Sizing the image to work in the sub articles makes it tiny and it looks odd in the main article and especially odd when clicking through the aricle itself where the image is tiny in proportion to the full page.
Does anyone have a strategy for handling images for blog layout and subsequent full article view? Any example sites showing good solution?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Peter!
You can go to the article manager and do the following:
Insert intro text with the image as you want it to be displayed in the blog section.
Then you insert the Read More button.
Underneath insert the SAME intro text and rest of the text again but with the image in bigger dimensions as you want it displayed in the full article view.
Then on the right side open Parameters Advanced and set "Intro Text" to "hide".
This will give you the smaller image and intro text in the blog layout and the full text with the bigger image after clicking the Read More button.
Hope that helps, Kat - Kat05 / QA Lead & Support / Germany
