josh1r Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Moved from: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=198164 Hi. I have a question regarding these contributions: Automatic Thumbail - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1484 Dynamic MoPics - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Bigger Product Image v_1.1 - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3986 Am I able to install Bigger Product Image v_1.1 so that it only changes the product image size, but not install the image resizing feature? I'm simply trying to have a bigger product image on the product_info.php page. The Bigger Product contribution does this quite well, but it also affects thumbnailing and conflicts with my other contributions. For quite a while now I've been successfully using Dynamic MoPics and Automatic Thumbnail. Dynamic MoPics worked great in that I would just add subsequent images to /images/thumbs/ and /images_big/ and everything (regular product image and MoPics images) would be successfully thumbnailed and placed in /images/imagecache/. But here's where my problem occurred: I just installed Bigger Product Images (easy install) and it's great at letting me set a different size for my product image than the image shown on the category pages, but it ended up 'breaking' my dynamic MoPics contribution (the MoPics thumbs were not showing, it just showed 'Click here to enlarge' where each image should have been, which when clicked would indeed show the correct pop-up, so it was simply not finding the thumbnail). As I said I had previously installed Automatic Thumbail and I think by installing Bigger Product Image there was too much resizing code that conflicted (Bigger Product Images had it's own thumbnail as part of the contribution). So, I undid my original install of Automatic Thumbail and that did almost fix the MoPics problem. It started showing the images again, but wasn't thumbnailing them (so I had all these huge images showing on the product_info page). As a temporary fix I copied all the files from /images/imagecache/ into /images/thumbs/ and now the MoPics shows the corect size image. So everything looks great but now when i have new instances of multiple pics for mopics, i have to manually resize them before I add to /images/thumbs/. So i'm just wondering if you have any experience with any of these contributions, and/or have any interest in figuring out how to fix my problem. And if you do, what would your fee be? Ideally I would like to keep everything how I used to have it, using Automatic Thumbnails, b/c I like how it created them in /images/imagecache/, and I don't really like how Bigger Product Images puts thumbnails in /images/ by resizing and renaming image1.jpg to image1-150x150.jpg or image1-200x200.jpg for example. In my attempts at fixing this I was able to fix everything so that the old Automatic Thumbnails would work on the MoPics, and the Bigger Image size for the product was working, but it wasn't thumbnailing the bigger product image, it was just warping it (taking a 150x150 image from /images/imagecache/ and then increasing size to 150x150). I know this is a mouthful but it's hard to write down what's happening, but hopefully you can see what i'm trying to say. Thanks! -- Josh Quote
LakeTech Posted June 8, 2006 Posted June 8, 2006 I am looking to do exactly the same thing. Have you had any success Josh? Has anyone else tried this? Quote

I have a question regarding these contributions: Automatic Thumbail - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1484 Dynamic MoPics - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1114 Bigger Product Image v_1.1 - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3986 Am I able to install Bigger Product Image v_1.1 so that it only changes the product image size, but not install the image resizing feature? I would rather use Automatic Thumbnailer to to my resizing. Would someone mind taking a look at this page for exmaple: http://www.blueluxe.com/french-pancake-book-p-2570.html and seeing if they can figure out why the 'other imgaes' don't show (the pop-ups do work though). Here's a working example for comparison: http://www.blueluxe.com/french-pancake-book-p-2570.html I am doing everything correctly as far as the naming sequence but for some reason the image-resize contrib that I am using isn't inserting the thumbnail of the other images. When I installed the contrib my existing items with other pics were fine, but new items don't work. This is why I would like to use the Bigger Product Images contrib. but only have it change the product page image, and NOT do any resizing. Thanks for any help! Quote
