image Image component should use srcset/picture

[chamois_blanc+ 5]

Hello,

Shouldn't the image PL5 component be using the srcset/picture css directives to pick the correct size for an image? or it does already and I don't know how to use it? Thank you for any advice or enlightenment.

Hi! you can use the Padding and the Margin and the Image Width / Height in order to control the size of an image, also if you want you can right-click the image select inspect copy the class and then in LESS/CSS with the class name you can apply any CSS code.

Thank you for your response, but it is really not answering my question.

srcset/picture are html img tags. They have nothing to do with margins or classes. The point of using them is to not have to specify fixed image width/height, but different widths/heights based on the viewport dimensions.

Hi, if you want to have a responsive image with a specific size an easy way is with: @media only screen and (max-width: ...px).
if you wanna a change the HTML image in order to create a responsive image is going to be more difficult of modified.

Hi Edgar,

You do not seem to understand the usefulness of picture/srcset/sizes html tag and attributes.

They are also part of wordpress core since version 4.4: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2015/11/10/responsive-images-in-wordpress-4-4/

It's sad that PL5 does not take advantage of this html5 functionality.

Hi Chamois,

Yes, I know what you mean, I know the developers of PageLines, wants to update soon PL5. 

Surely, this will bring many new technologies, I hope it happens soon. 

Best Regards!
