CB login image sizes

Hello
We moved recently to the new template jf_sirena which has a great display for CB
However, when using CB login with this template, the module loads full sizes for canvas and avatar. This makes each page too heavy if the canvas is too big.
Could you adapt the module so that it loads only the reduced sizes for the two photos ? or introduce a setting to leave the choice of high/low res images in the module display ?
Same thing for CB activity module if this is possible.

By the way, when a canvas photo is uploaded and resized by the user, is there a way to lower its size ? meaning keeping it as defined for height and width but lower its weight ?

And lastly would it be possible to choose what plugins to load with the login module ?
We dont' want to load full CB js and css on each page where the module is displayed but would like to have for instance only CB connect and a CB activity module on each page.
Is it possible to limit css and jQuery sizes ?

Thanks a lot
Jean

The CB Login module has always loaded the thumbnail size of the image. Your template may have a layout override for CBs login module and is loading in the fullsize. The login module doesn't display the canvas image at all. CB Activity doesn't load fullsize images either, those are thumbnail. Right click and inspect element on the image. If the filename begins with "tn" it's the thumbnail size. You may have the thumbnail size set too large (I don't recommend anything larger than 100x100 for avatar thumbnails).

And lastly would it be possible to choose what plugins to load with the login module ?

No, in fact we'll be changing this entirely in CB 3.0 where all plugins are loaded as minimal as possible into memory automatically when CB loads. By then each plugin should be using namespaced autoloader classes only resulting in maybe 100 lines of code per plugin as opposed to loading the entire plugin as is done currently with several plugins. CB Gallery is the first to utilize this to the fullest (its main PHP file is something like 36 lines of code only).

CB Connect utilizes CB JS and CSS so you can't exclude those while still loading CB Connect. The login module also uses CB classes so it needs to load in CBs CSS.

Is it possible to limit css and jQuery sizes ?

No.

If you're having header load issues you may want to consider something like JCH Optimizer. We're using it here and it works pretty well.

I will check this with joomforest devs to change the image sizes.

Thanks for your answers on the other topics

Last question : Our template has the ability to load bootstrap > 3 or not, would you recommend using CB bootstrap or standard bootstrap file ?

thanks

We don't modify Bootstrap 3 anymore other than to namespace it so if your Joomla template can load Bootstrap 3 you should be able to safely turn off CBs. Joomla built in Bootstrap is version 2 and won't style CB properly so it has to be Bootstrap 3.
