Hi.  
I made a different render-image for the homepage (with type:home) and it’s seen as such, but I have this error message:

> “/home/drm/WEBSITE/themes/hugo-book/layouts/home/\_markup/render-image.html:24:13”: execute of template failed: template: home/\_markup/render-image.html:24:13: executing “home/\_markup/render-image.html” at \<$img.Width\>: error calling Width: this method is only available for image resources

```auto
  {{ $quality = .Page.Param "imaging.quality" }}
{{ end }}
{{ if gt $img.Width 1540 }}
	{{ $large = $img.Resize (print "1540x q" $quality) }}
{{ else }}

```

What’s wrong here ?

I don’t think I changed anything important, especially in the beginning. Just removed the useless parts.

Are you sure there’s no … error message?

If I would guess, you have some pages without imaging.quality set. try:

```auto
 {{ $quality = .Page.Param "imaging.quality" | default 50 }}

```

My bad, I badly copied the error message.

OK, you have somehow found a resource that’s something other than a raster image (e.g. a text file).

You can check the media type with e.g. `$img.MediaType.MainType` which should be `image`.

no it has to be a syntax mistake, because everything worked before. Even without `default`.  
Is this the good syntax for what it’s obviously supposed to mean ?

```auto
  {{ $quality = (default .Site.imaging.quality .Page.Params.imaging.quality) }}

```

with this in my config:

```auto
[imaging]
  anchor = 'Smart'
  bgColor = '#ffffff'
  hint = 'picture'
  quality = 75

```

Use `site.Image.quality`. I think the context is not the page context, but e.g. `with` or `range`. Using `site` avoids using the (`.`) which changes.

You must mean site.imag **ing**.quality I suppose. still complaining.

line 25 is:

> {{ $quality = default site.imaging.quality .Page.Params.imaging.quality }}

Do you have any SVGs? They can’t have quality changed but detect as images.

None going through the render-hook.  
Here’s a sample:

found the solution.  
i replaced `type: home` but `layout: home`. Pfff, if that is not confusing I don’t know what it is. And it ain’t gonna change…  
I would still suggest though, explaining on the site the difference in behavior. this sðit is confusing as hell. Using type did apply to the homepage, but to apparently all the other pages too since the error message concerned a completely unrelated page.
