Hi fabix,I checked the current
code and the related open GitHub image issues, and I think your observation is correct.Removing the old template overrides does not restore the previous full-size image behaviour.In the current
code,
Code:
mod_jem_teaser/helper.php
stores two different image paths:
→ used as
Code:
$dimage['original']
→ used as
The Teaser template then uses
as the
, which means that the thumbnail is displayed. The original image is only used as the target when clicking/enlarging the image.There was also a recent commit:
Code:

Fix image thumbnail resolution across JEM views and modulesThat change explicitly preserves the intentional full-image behaviour for Banner and Jubilee, but Teaser continues to use the thumbnail.So unless I am overlooking an existing module option, there currently doesn't seem to be a setting in
to switch the displayed image back to the original/full-size image.
Code:
Associated article usage = Event content
does not change this behaviour either. It can determine where event content or an event image originates, but after that the Teaser module still applies its own image handling.Temporary solutionYou can restore the full-size image without changing JEM core files by creating a fresh Joomla template override for
.I would not restore an old override, because it may miss newer JEM changes such as the status ribbons and recent image handling.Create a new override from the currently installed JEM version:
System → Site Templates → your template → Create Overrides → Modules → mod_jem_teaserThen edit the applicable layout, for example:
Code:
/templates/your-template/html/mod_jem_teaser/default.php
or, if you use the responsive layout:
Code:
/templates/your-template/html/mod_jem_teaser/responsive.php
The current visible event image uses:
Code:
src="<?php echo $item->eventimage; ?>"
To use the original image instead:
Code:
src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->eventimageorig, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>"
There is one additional detail in the current template.The
also receives the dimensions calculated for the thumbnail:
Code:
width="<?php echo (int) $item->eventimagewidth; ?>"
height="<?php echo (int) $item->eventimageheight; ?>"
So changing only the URL may still display the original image using thumbnail dimensions.For the override I would therefore change the complete image output from something like:
Code:
<img
class="float_right image-preview"
style="<?php echo $eventImageStyle; ?>"
src="<?php echo $item->eventimage; ?>"
width="<?php echo (int) $item->eventimagewidth; ?>"
height="<?php echo (int) $item->eventimageheight; ?>"
alt="<?php echo $item->title; ?>"
itemprop="image"
/>
to:
Code:
<img
class="float_right image-preview"
style="height:auto;max-width:100%;"
src="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->eventimageorig, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); ?>"
alt="<?php echo $item->title; ?>"
itemprop="image"
/>
The same principle applies to
.This keeps the current JEM Teaser code and newer status-ribbon functionality, while changing only the image source used for display.Related current GitHub workI also noticed that the current JEM development direction already makes this distinction increasingly relevant.
#2327 — New image workflow for frontend Event and Venue formsJEM 5.1 introduces separate
Event intro/list and
Event full/detail images, each with its own image profile/resolution.That actually fits this use case very well: a module such as Teaser is essentially a list/presentation context, while the event detail page is a full/detail context.
#2330 — Move Image from the backend sidebar to a main tabThis proposal uses the same distinction in the backend:
- Event intro/list image
- Event full/detail image
and aims to use one common image policy in frontend and backend.
#2332 — Add a dedicated Images tab to JEM SettingsThis open proposal goes another step further and centralises:
- image processing settings;
- event intro/list and full/detail image policies;
- venue and category image settings;
- storage policies.
So perhaps the long-term solution should be aligned with this work rather than treating Teaser image selection as an isolated exception.For JEM 5.0.1, a simple module option such as:
Image source
- Thumbnail
- Original / full-size image
would provide backwards compatibility.For JEM 5.1, it might be even cleaner if Teaser follows the new image-profile concept, for example:
Event image
- Intro/list image
- Full/detail image
possibly with the generated thumbnail/original choice handled by the applicable image policy.That would make the behaviour explicit and consistent with the direction already described in #2327, #2330 and #2332.It would also be useful to confirm whether Teaser changing to the thumbnail was an intentional behavioural change or an unintended backwards-compatibility change.Regards,
