Support thread for the Image Magic contribution

[squeekit]

hmmm - maybe my whole last post is a nevermind - i gotta look into this thing more...

 

let me read your last posts (Vine) - they were posted while i wasn't looking :)

(please excuse my recent ramblings)

Vine,

the whole point of open source was that anyone can modify or change the base code.

you are so very right and this point pretty much might leed me to disregard tom's attempt to monopolize and cash in on his contrib (cont help but wonder how much he donates to other contrbutors or osc itself) - however, i'll probably strike out with my own contrib merely because some of the things i desire are indeed fundumentally different from image magic - such as the ability to switch from "on demand" resizing during page request to resizing during upload (with added ability to "pre" resize images already uploaded) - i just don't like the "on demand" resizing -- and also to intergrate many other image features like a 'mor pics that's more sensative to screen resolution, etc. (my introduction into php was with a php image gallery) - i'm just stuned how osc handles images by default (rather nasty) - to cater to those with broadband at this time i can't help but feel is a big mistake - for osc by default to merely create its thumbnails via image attributes is a big minus i feel - etc.....

What's wrong now ?

 

Site's working OK now with Imagemagic.

 

There is a small issue when using it with the More Pics contrib. If the product shown in product product_info.php and the specials or what's new infoboxes are the same, the page shows a huge image of the product in the infobox instead of a small image...

[Guest]

Interestingly, if the boxes are on the left, then the bug doesn't appear.

 

Interesting, I'll give that a try ^_^

 

Cheers!

[Guest]

My goodness, you're right! If I move the what's new infobox to the left the thumbnail stays small if the same item is shown in product_info.php!

 

This'll work for now, although I'd like to find a way to fix the bug (I think the layout would be nicer with the what's new infobox in the right column).

[JemCraft]

(Without wanting to tempt fate) it works fine for me. There's one bit in the instalation where you have to replace a large chunk of code, and it's not obvious which large chunk it is, but iirc someone talks through which one it is quite clearly earlier on in this thread. This is why good forums are great for this sort of thing - where would we be without the internet? :D

 

OK so am presuming you mean catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php, here's what I have in mine - have I put it in the wrong place?

Thanks for taking a look at my posts and trying to come up with something. I agree with you on some of the other functionality that you'd like. I'm pretty familiar with gallery and coppermine and you are right about osc being weak on images. . . what about video???? We're planning on doing lots of video and let me tell you, the contribs for that are few and far between with very limited capability. I guess with time here on the boards, I am learning about osc and the history. . . osc is very focused on the transactions (as it should be) but it has neglected the full feature sets that are required by serious websites. Hence, you get all the great contribs, but there is no cohesion and lots of one-offs and lots of competing contribs. I guess this is what oscMax was trying to do with their fork, but that's a different topic. anyway, hoping that 3.0 will have a lot more standard features. Ease of customization is great but the requirement to heavily customize is a pain. . . more functionality out of the box please.

 

Good luck and let me know when you make that killer image contrib :-)

[Guest]

I'm just noticing there is some activity with knowledgable people , I'm just re-submitting a request I posted a while ago, getting no answer. Is someone capable of installing in Image magic a resharpening capability working with an unsharp mask, configurable in the admin, with the code provided on this site:

 

http://vikjavev.no/computing/ump.php

 

Shopuldn;t be too difficult, but I have no idea where this truecolor image is generated

 

Thank you for your ideas

[itinerant baker]

OK so am presuming you mean catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php, here's what I have in mine - have I put it in the wrong place?

 

 

That's the file, not sure about you're version as I haven't had a chance to look through (and I'm no [hp expert unlike some here). I'll dig out the post I was refering to - but I may be some time!

[itinerant baker]

itinerant baker, perhaps you could give us late comers a bit more help - in post #886 above you mention:maybe you could stear us to the post number of the message you refer to

 

What did I let myself in for with that! :rolleyes:

 

After a long treck through the thread, trying from both ends, I think the one I was refering to was #812. Let me know if this works, I think it did for me - iirc it was the best explanation of replacing the tep_image () function. If it's working it might be worth incorporating it with the rest of the instructions as a (very large) find/replace section.

some servers will just not work for the text watermarking. I tried everything, and nothing shows up. image WM works just fine, so I just designed a png text, that works just the same (and is resizable on top of that)

[squeekit]

Vines and baker, thanks and thanks...

 

baker - i had not known the post you spoke of had been so relatively recent - great to note it - i'll check it out first chance --

 

Vines - Oh yeah - you got me going now :) givin' my schedule i suspect i'll be finished the beta version late this year or early next -- i might even make an installer to automate it's installation - i'm all about being user freindly -- of course such would perform checks and also have a manul install option - my thinking is per haps adding a whole category to the admin > "Images & Media" > hehe - told you, you got me goin - hopfully my schedule will clear up so i can start in on it soon - i'll let you know...

Has anyone tried using Image Magic on the main image (big image) on the product_info page? I have successfully installed IM and it works great! Now I would like to use IM on the main image on the product info page as some of my images are larger than what I want displayed. The main images (very large) are currently shrinked into the sizes that I have set but are not very clear and are distorted. I have combed this thread but does not look this has ever come up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

just set ONE dimension: maximum width OR maximum height, but not both, it will work

[linkwireless]

Thanks Frenchy - I should have mentioned that I am also using the Best PICS contrib. I set the width in the code of the products_info.php file and not in the admin. Anyway I set only the width and still doesnt work. Im thinking it may be because of the class that is associated with the main pic, class="picselectmain". Does the class have anything to do with IM knowing which images to work on?

 

Thanks again

[itinerant baker]

Will setting Process Store's Graphics to true do anything for you? If I understand this correctly this processes all the graphics that are part of the shop - though I'ld have thought that it was processing the product info page graphics anyway. Might be worth asking on the Best PICS support thread aswell.

 

baker - i had not known the post you spoke of had been so relatively recent - great to note it - i'll check it out first chance --

 

Neither did I, which was why I first started at the begining! :rolleyes: Even viewing in outline mode the thread is 10 pages long!!!

Hi, i can't get image working properly, the server info matches the requirements, only no watermark is showing up

 

but there's something strange.

if i go to the admin -> watermark image file -> and i click on the collum change, the collum change dissapears, so i can't select any watermark....

 

The samething happens with text watermark font.

 

All the file are on the server..

 

any thoughts?

columns disappearing generally means your configuration table may contain elements with the same IDs than some of existing mods, and you have a little contamination. To check this:

 

Check the sql file that you have in the image magic intall files, and take a look at its elements: they all belong to the configuration group 333, with configuration IDs between 3207 and 3259

 

Try to re-run the sql query after having removed all these elements, but double check that all of them belong to 333 first, if one element doesn't belong to 333 and has an ID between 3207 and 3259, this is the bad guy that need to be reassigned another configuration ID to avoid any fursther conflict

[D-Flxz]

Hi, all the elements in the 333 are in the sql file, there's not another group.

 

But i don't know how to remove the 333 group in phpmyadmin. or to find those elements...

i find mysql a bit difficult to understand.

Let me rephrase what I tried to explain (I know it's not easy)

 

all elements from the sql file that came with this install have a 333 configuration group, and this is the way it should be. What may happen is an ALREADY EXISTING mod, in your actual database (NOT IN THIS SQL file), with a parameter with a configuration ID between 3207 and 3259 and that does not have a configuration group id of 333.

 

if you know how to access myphpadmin, look what is in the table configuration (click on the table called "configuration" on the left, then on the tab "browse" at the top to see all teh values. Then sort by configuration_id by clicking on the title of the column.

 

Then, reach the series of values that belong to image magic (in my database, they start around page 4, but may depend on the number of mods you have in your store). Check that all the values between 3207 and 3259 belong to the group 333. If you see one or that is 9are) not assigned to 333, it is more likely that they don't belong to image magic, and their configuration_id must be changed to something which is not already taken (DON'T DELETE IT, just edit them by clicking on the pen icon and assign another number)

 

Then re run the sql statement that came with the installation

 

BACKUP your database before doing anything on it, I am not responsible of any data loss that may occur :-)

Hmmmm, configuration ID between 3207 and 3259 are all standing on id 333

Hi, i can't get image working properly, the server info matches the requirements, only no watermark is showing up

 

but there's something strange.

if i go to the admin -> watermark image file -> and i click on the collum change, the collum change dissapears, so i can't select any watermark....

 

The samething happens with text watermark font.

 

All the file are on the server..

 

any thoughts?

 

This sounds like the same problem I had in admin whenever I selected one of options that had to have a dropdown menu to select from ( watermark image, watermark position, text font and text position) when I would hit edit, the column would disappear. I also checked an checked the database for something that was off, but nada.

 

So it ended up being the code added (from readme/installation v1.14/1.15 step#5) for catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php - thats what worked for me (because I am using a modified version for cre and everything worked except those functions and I was missing that bit of code added to general.php)

 

May not be the same problem as yours but it sounds similar so I thought I would throw in what worked for me. Hope it helps in some way!

 

And thanks Tom and everyone who has contributed to this contrib, its excellent!
