'On the Fly' Auto Thumbnailer using GD Library

[nate_02631]

TYep...I did read the previous message....but sorry...being a newbie...some of it went over my head.  (pixel black, and separator works fine now!)...  :D

 

The problem only seems to involve the "subcategory" where the products are listed...not in the upper "main categories" that list the subcategories....the alt/text works fine there. 

 

I can't figure....the alt / text also works fine when over a (product pic)....in the subcategory...but not over the top/right pic for the subcategory.

 

Anybody out there have an idea of how to fix?  Thanks...appreciate the help.

Read the 5th post on the 2nd page again - I explained the problem exactly already in laymen's terms - it has nothing to do with the mod...

 

Mods that generate the thumbnail images separately would of course be more efficient, and they could be altered to produce a "resampled" t/n of similar quality. I beleive the issue of server performance was addressed in the second post of this thread....

[TheSmrtguy]

Can I get some guidance on what to look for to fix what may be "not or mis-configured" with the GD config? PHP4 comes bundled with it already in there, so I"m not sure what to look at to fix.

 

Oh, and the hottie...we're engaged. Back off. Haha!

[Spike_UK]

To make this compatible for GD Versions under 2 change the following line in product_thumb.php

 

$tmp_img = imagecreatetruecolor($_GET['w'],$_GET['h']);

 

to

 

$tmp_img = imagecreate($_GET['w'],$_GET['h']);

 

I'm no php expert, but this worked for me using GD 1.6

[♥johnnymke]

Seeing this in the error log file on the server:

 

PHP Warning: imagedestroy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/thewebsite/public_html/product_thumb.php on line 35

 

PHP Warning: imagecopyresampled(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/thewebsite/public_html/product_thumb.php on line 27

 

Something to worry about?

 

Thanks...

[nate_02631]

I take it those errors are likely in reverse order? Sounds like maybe your version of GD doesn't support imagecreatetruecolor, in which case I'd replace it with imagecreate in product_thumb.php as Spike_UK suggests...(unless it's having trouble with imagecopyresampled - in which case, replace with imagecopyresized)

 

Thanks for the tip, Spike....

[TheSmrtguy]

Still confused as to what you mean by

I'd check the config info for that domain specifically 

Where and what exactly am I checking?

[nate_02631]

See the readme of the contrib - confirm that GD 2 is active for that domain...

Hi,

 

I tried all the solutions suggested so far in this thread and I still get this error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /hsphere/local/home/pzq0qw/aplus-computersonline.com/catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 188

It happens on ALL pages of my site

 

Any suggestions???

 

Thanks

Hi Nate,

 

I installed your contribute but I'm not sure how to make the thumbnails resize proportionately. I was able to make an intermediate-sized image for the product info page by adding a "multiplier" to the SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH & SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT values in product_info.php, so I know the contribute is working correctly. I just don't know what I'm supposed to edit to make my thumbnails resize proportionately.

 

Thanks,

Paul

I tried all the solutions suggested so far in this thread and I still get this error:

Hi, you seem to have pasted in the code wrong... Check where the error tells you and fix it (maybe you left a stray bracket in there), or try starting with a fresh html_output.php.

I just don't know what I'm supposed to edit to make my thumbnails resize proportionately.

The mod already includes code that will keep the correct ratio of your images when shrunken to thumbnail or "intermediate" size. There is nothing you need to do except set the (in the case of this mod) max thumbnail width and height - which you can keep the same (100x100) so the thumbnails with be max 100 width or max 100 height.

[Guest]

Thanks for the mod Nate.

Can you explain how to add a larger pic for the product info page.

Do you create a larger image or just stretch the thumbnail. If you create a larger image, where do you put it? Once again, thanks for the great mod. B)

[nate_02631]

Check out the contrib page at osCommerce... Nothing is being added or "stretched", only the one, large product pic is being scaled to an intermediate or thumbnail sized pic...

[Guest]

Thanks Nate, it works great. I appreciate the help.

[Paulie]

Hi Nate,

 

When you say max thumbnail width and max thumbnail height, are you referring to the values in the Configuration / Images section labeled "Small Image Width" and "Small Image Height"? I have both of these set to 100 but the thumbnail still looks out of proportion. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Paul

[nate_02631]

Is the thumbnail either 100px high or 100px wide? If so, then it's the original picture that's out of proportion.

[Paulie]

Hi Nate,

 

The thumbnails are showing the dimensions of 100 x 100 pixels. When I view the product description the image has dimensions of 200 x 200 pixels (multiplier values working correctly), and when I click that image to enlarge, it displays the true image size of 231 x 330 pixels, which has the correct proportions. Is there anything else I can check?

 

Thanks,

Paul

[nate_02631]

If you installed the contrib correctly, the thumbnails will *not* be the same width and height. I'd say take another crack at installing it...

[Paulie]

Hi Nate,

 

I reinstalled but still having the same problem. Here is a copy of my catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php. Can you take a look and see if everything looks ok here?

[Guest]

hello there...

 

i get an error after i followed the instructions:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/nmcchi3/public_html/shop/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 187

 

what it means i don't know b/c i did copy everything into the html_output.php as specified in the readme. my file looks exactly like the file posted before me.

 

any ideas what may be the culprit?

 

thank you for your patience.

 

adieu,

macie

[nate_02631]

Paulie, you probably want to turn on "calculate image size" in your osc config...

 

rankinworks, you likely pasted it in wrong... give it another shot.

[Guest]

Thanks Nate...

 

It finally worked...and what happened was that I forgot to delete the second 'tep_image' function right after it.

 

I have a quick question though...how would i change the background color of the pop enlarge picture when the thumbnail is clicked?

 

Thank you so much for this contribution...It's the best one by far!!!

[Guest]

nevermind...i figured it out.

 

one must go to the popup_image.php file and add a css file to it.

very simple but i didn't know at first.

 

now i will try how to do the intermediate size for thumbnails.

 

thanks again.

 

bye,

macie

[nate_02631]

Hi ilan,

 

You replace the tep_image function, as described in the readme... the lines of code you listed above is *not* the whole function... The function continues on down (ending in a closing bracket "}" till you get to the tep_image_submit function.

[Guest]

hi nate or anyone else who can assist me.

 

when i changed the max/min small image sizes in the online admin to 100x100 instead of 100x80 (the default), the images became distorted like what paulie said happened to him.

 

i also used the intermediate *2 size for the product info page and it worked well except for the distortion.

 

what should i put int he online max/min small image sizes option? so it is proportioned?

 

thank you...

 

macie.

[Guest]

i think that my situation is similar to PAULIE'S NOW...

 

i have done what you advised him to do when his thumbnails were not proportioned properly:

 

Paulie, you probably want to turn on "calculate image size" in your osc config...

 

here is my site:

 

http://newmexicanconnection.com/shop

(if you go here, you can see the hatch cookbook that i put in that is suppose to resize http://newmexicanconnection.com/shop/index...9ae4d7dfe90bfc)

 

same thing happend. my thumbnail is seen as 100x100 pix because i put the small image width and height at 100 in the ADMIN configuration online. i did read in the development center to eliminate the width for all the images options as well but i didn't do that...i left the default on.

 

now, the intermediate is 200x200 pix and the original picture is at the right size...not 300x300 like you would think but is 440x312 pix

 

i placed the product_thumb.php file in *catalog's root directory per the readme file:

 

website/shop/product_thumb.php

 

and changed my:

 

website/shop/includes/functions/html_output.php
