Guest Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 In order to avoid complicated installations to improve the quality of the thumbnails, I'd like to do the following: Via Admin I will provide the shop with a proper thumbnail (produced in Photoshop). In my case it is stored in the directory 'images'. After that I FTP new BIG images - which are shown in the popup window - which are gonig to be stored in a separate directory 'images_big'. At the bottom of popup_image.php there are the following lines of code: ================================================================== // // <body onload="resize();"> <?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products['products_image'], $products['products_name']); ?> </body> </html> ================================================================== I presume that '$products['products_image']' holds the path to the thumbnail image (i.e.: 'images/book03.jpg'). I need to change that path into 'images_big/book03.jpg'. So a little bit of string manipulation here :-" How do i do that in PHP? Anyone? Thanks, Frans Quote

Thanks, Frans <?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products['products_image'], $products['products_name']); ?> in this DIR_WS_IMAGES is responsible for directory/folder naming hard code this value to what YOu want.

Guest Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 <?php echo tep_image('images_big/' . $products['products_image'], $products['products_name']); ?> Assuming the image has exactly the same name Your assumption is correct! Otherwise it wouldn't work I'm afraid. Does '$products['products_image'] hold just the image's name ("book03.jpg") or the complete (relative) path? ("images/book03.jpg"). If this is the case I will have to do some string manipulation to replace the dir 'images' with 'images_big'. (I've not a clue how that works in PHP.) Any idea? Frans Quote
♥FWR Media Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) Well what's your directory structure then? is images_big folder INSIDE the images folder or is it catalog/images_big? Or to ask a different way WHERE is your images_big folder located?

Guest Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Well what's your directory structure then? is images_big folder INSIDE the images folder or is it catalog/images_big? Or to ask a different way WHERE is your images_big folder located? I changed my directory structure accordingly. Now the small images are in 'images', the big ones in 'images_big'. Just by replacing the small code in the popup_image.php - as you suggested - did the trick. Thanks very much !! (I've learned some PHP on the fly as well :thumbsup: ) Quote
