how to place images to display correctly on frontpage [#1642514]

Hello,

This is a very nice theme. But the thing I cannot figure out is how to correctly place images in the nodes so that they display normally on the frontpage (like on http://fontfolio.ish.co.il/). If I add an image to the node body it does not display correctly on the frontpage; if I add it to a special image field nothing shows up at all. I am probably overlooking something basic :)

Best,
Gerben

What you see in the demo website Front page and taxonomy pages are lists of node teasers.
In order to make teasers look as designed you should :
1. Go to admin/structure/types choose your content types and click the Manage display tab and go to configure the "teaser" display.
For the default "Article" node type you can go to /admin/structure/types/manage/article/display/teaser .
Now configure the teaser display to hide all fields but the image field. (see attached screenshot.)

On the other hand, for "Default" displays you should usually display the body field. (See second screenshot).

2. It is better to set Image styles for fonfolio specific dimensions
In the Demo website I overridden the 'medium' image style to have single effect of "Scale and crop" in dimensions of 562x464 .
For full node displays I have overridden the 'Large' Image style to be 'Scale': width 700 (upscaling allowed).

Please let me know if you still have problems with FontFolio configurations.

Thank you very much for this detailed explanation, this helps a lot to understand what I was doing wrong. I will try and work on it this weekend and I will let you know how it works for me.

ps I think it would be a good idea to add this information to the documentation and readme.txt file?

I agree. That is the first place I look when I want to replicate something done on the demo/dev's screenshot.

I added a FontFolio Handbook page in the "Contributed themes" part of Drupal's documentation.
The same info added to README.txt. ( commited to 7.x-2.0 version)

The documentation still need completion. Mainly with multilingual configurations.

Support questions in the issue queue are still welcome.
