Bug/issue with modern news thumbnail if team site has header image
Hi Edvard,
Could you please provide some more details on this one? Is the site you are seeing this on a classic team site or a modern team site? Do you see the same thumbnail generated for all the news on that site?
Thanks!
Hi Alina,
- I think it's a classic team site (there is no O365 group created along with the team site)
- Yes, all news items get the same thumbnail
If i temporarily remove the header image, post my news item, then reapply the header image. I get the desired result.
Thanks for reporting this, Edvard! We will look into this.
We cannot specify the thumbnail image in news articles, it is decided for us by sharepoint - this is a real problem for content managers !!
i.e. sharepoint will set the thumbnail image to be the same as the 'first' custom image it finds in the news article. This is a real problem because quite often we need to select different images because of the difference in aspect ratio. eg what works at thumbnail ratio doesn't always work at the super-wide header ratio.
EXAMPLE...
In order for me to use this image for the thumbnail...
...I have to use it as the header image in the news article page.
But it simply doesn't work in this ratio format.
We need the ability to set a specific thumbnail image independently of the image used in the new article page.
