Generate Automatic Thumbnails With Mavik Thumbnails in Joomla

Problem Statement: We suddenly got a conflict with Mavik Thumbnails. Whenever we tried to display javascript on a page with the plug-in activated (the fronpage of this webste), it would not work in Windows Explorer while the page is shown correctly in Firefox and Chrome. We got the following message: Message: HTML Parsing Error: Unable to modify the parent container element before the child element is closed (KB927917).

Till further notice, we have disabled the plug-in since we do not seem to get it right (or Microsoft for that matter). An alternative is the fboxbot plugin and BK-Thumb plugin that are available in the JED.


Sometimes you only need a few pictures in an article. Mavik Thumbnails is a Joomla extension that automatically generates a thumbnail from images in an article.

The Mavik Thumbnails extension does not require you to insert tags in an article. Resizing the image in the editor is sufficient. How it works:

Step 1: Install the plug in and set the directory where the images are in the parameters of the plug in.

Step 2: Insert an image in an article as you would normally do using the editor (remember, you will not use any plug-in tags).

Step 3: Resize the image by clicking on the image and dragging the corners as you would normally do in the editor.

Step 4: Save the article.

Here we have a few examples from photos we took in Australia. If you click on the photo, it will open in a light box. We have included pictures of different sizes. Some may be wider than your computer screen:
