Override Kinetic Posts thumbnail image

    Hey again ??

    Just wondering how we go about overriding the thumbnail image shown when Kinetic Posts outputs as grid/list etc?

    At the moment the Feature Image set on the Post is used which is generally OK, however, if the feature image is chosen (and formatted) specifically to be used as the pagebanner (using Gutenbooster theme) background image (ie wide but not tall … perfect for a standard page/post where the page banner is not so dominant), then when using Kinetic Posts, it uses that same image which then looks not so good when output along with other “normal” square feature images on other posts.

    Maybe the answer is to give the option to use a custom image for the page/post banner area instead of the Feature Image in this situation? What is the best way to do this do you think? Add a media select field option in GutenBooster Addons page options panel?

    Thanks again ??

    That is a very interesting case and definitely worth checking. I’ll let you know how this goes.

    Still you can always change the dimensions and ratios for Kinetic Posts’ image display on design and image settings.

    Thanks!

    Hey mate … thanks for the reply ??

    Not really a Kioken Blocks problem in the end.

    I’ve ended up forking your Gutenbooster Addon and adding in an alternate pagebanner background field (just text at this stage … couldn’t work out how to do the media select button … new to React/Gutenberg!).

    Then in your Gutenbooster theme I override some of your functions (thanks for making them overridable) and the pagebanner partials, to check for that field and use that for the background and if not set fall back to the Feature Image as the background. It’s working nicely actually ??

    Hope you don’t mind.

    Can maybe help on Gutenbooster theme and the addon if you want?

    Cheers

    @sanziam I’d be more than happy to let other contributors,

    However since I’m sort of a numb and Kioken library for themes and plugins use the same source for both pro and free, I can’t share it to people yet unless I invite them.

    I’ll be happy to invite you to the source if you email me your details at [email protected].

    Cheers!
